This week at Daring Cardmakers it's my turn to dare you all
"Your card can be any theme you like, just as long as it's got something you'd find in a Haberdashery Department on it
Alright then, grab that old sewing basket of yours or raid your sewing machine drawer, have a look at what creative bits are hidding away there....maybe it's buttons, a zip, hook & eye's, ribbons, braids, Dressmaking patterns, tape measures,Pins & Needles, lace, safety pins or embroidery thread....
so many wonderful little treasures just waiting to be added to your next card :O)
I'm going to add one more rule...
Yes you may stitch on your card, but that can't be your only haberdashery item...."
Donna is our Gorgeous Guest Designer for a couple of weeks, Welcome Donna! :O)
so happy to have you join in the fun
So here is my card, I've given into my 'lust for rust' on this card, and used a rusty old 'overalls' buckle and some ribbon for my 'Habby' items.

other bits I've used are - Stamp-it stamp #siset0031k available from Scrap A While, hmmmm can't remember what that paper is... does anyone know...oh I hate that... anyway the green strip is the back of the flower paper, American Crafts MiniMarks rub-on, Maria George crystals (I'll soon own shares in the company at this rate, they are a bit of a fav at the mo), Versa Magic Midnight black inkpad, & My ever trusty sewing machine :O)
Well I know I've been a bit absent from the blogs lately, and it was a much needed rest, I actually think I burnt myself out, and needed to slow down for the sake of everyone who lives with me lol! and myself ofcourse....
I know I've been tagged a couple of times, and I'll get to them shortly (thanks girls)
My kids go back to school Tuesday, it's been such a joy having them home from school, we've been doing lots of craft together, not much papercraft, mostly beading and oooooohhhh I've got something a little different ;o) I'll show sometime over the weekend when they are finished...
anyhoo... have yourself a 'FABBY'
(oooh I do love this word my UK blog friends use) weekend :O)
and I'll catch you around Cyberworld....

ooh, I like this Gill and I love your dare. I recently dragged Mum's old sewing basket out and found lots of treasures in there (as well as a pair of pinking scissors!!) so I will have fun with this dare...plus I have missed doing them the last couple of weeks.
Yet another FABBY card!
Another gorgeous card from you Gillian. I love that scrummy big buckle and the little addition of bling. So sweet,

A beautiful card, I love the colours.
this is so cool, love it. I am definitely working on this Dare this weekend, you have inspired me.
Last weeks text, & this weeks haberdashery are my most favourite dares of this last two months. Both have got me excited again.
I have a special tag for you & forgot to let you know.
One of those blonde moments when you're sure you did it but realise that you just imagined it done!!!
Gorgeous card, BTW. Love the colours & that stamp.
Wow Gillian, this is beautiful!
Gillian, this is another beautiful card..as always. I know what you mean by feeling burnt out. That is why I took a break for a bit. Hope you feel all refreshed now cuz i love seeing what you are making. Have a wonderful weekend :o)
Gillian I adore your card.
Beautiful work and the images are always so awesome...

Absolutely wonderful! Gillian. Your cards always stun me!Take life slowly and creat more cards (or dares?) for us!
I enjoy your cards. Truely!
This challenge had to come from you! And a 'fabby' one too! Great card from you again - love the stamping.
Sometimes burn out occurs when we take our eyes off the important things - so take quiet times for yourself.

brilliant card Gillian (should I say fabby?)I have some of that paper - and now I know what to do with it! It came in a Self Addressed kit so I can' remember the name but think it might be A2Z or 3 Bugs. Enjoy your last days of fambly hols!
