Just Magnolias and Hanglars Challenge - Distressing!

OH my ... the them for this weeks Just Magnolia and Hanglar's Challenge this week is so me this week. DISTRESSING!! I feel like I have been running in slow motion all week, not getting done all that I plan to accomplish - It has just been a freak out week! LOL But I did take some time one night this week to sit and craft for this weeks challenge. Some chillin time just me and my craftin'!

I pulled out another "shared" Hanglar image. I love this one - too sweet isn't she? I chose my papers first, My Minds Eye Lost and Found papers, then I colored to match - She has a sort of vintage raggedy ann look doesn't she?  I inked papers, and used a distressing tool on others. I sewed everything. I then used a piece of my vintage lace from Etsy - and then wove some red ribbon through it, and tied a bow. I used glue dots to hold the ends in place, they were just not behaving well! My sentiment is a ticket I found in my stash, with a Alota Rubber Stamps Hello sentiment. Love this one - so cute and simple, and I like that it is small - so it fits anywhere!  Then three tiny red buttons to finish it off.

This one turned out cute and made me happy - a break crafting well spent you could say? Relaxed me I know that, and that gave me the push to get back to all the craziness!

Now pop over to Just Magnolias and Hanglars Challenge and see all the Distressing cards from the DT! Really gorgeous stuff...

Now I must return back to my list of things to do... I have a goal to get all caught up today!!! Hope I do so I can play tomorrow :0)

HUGS and have a wonderful Friday - see you tomorrow for Animal Crackers Saturday!
