Now, I'm hoping my niece isn't reading this cos I want to give her this for her birthday in March! She is just as cute and gorgeous as Annie's teen creations and born in Britain - a perfect match!
I typed up and printed the sentiment - for those who aren't familiar, the phrase "Keep calm and Carry On" was a slogan created by the UK government for posters during World War II. It's now a trendy phrase to use and I obviously modified it to fit the occasion!
And did you notice - no embellishments! Hhhmmm, feeling a bit naked but couldn't think of anything else to add to it!! Any advice most welcome please!
Anyhoo, I hope you get to share your papercraft creations with us this week! You can see more wonderful DT inspiration over at the Make It Monday blog and you could be in for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate to spend in the store! And they are in sale at the moment so you may want to pay the store a visit! ;)
Okay, so onto my pick of the week! I have chosen this brilliant card by Elena of Fantasia d'Inchiostro....

What an original, huh?! Elena's colouring is fab and love how she did the tic-tac-toe - so clever! But that Elena is so creative, I wish I could be in her brain sometimes! Thanks Elena for sharing with us honey!

- Catch The Bug - photo (I took colours)

Gorgeous & cool card! And it really doesn't need any embellishments.
I think any embellishments would detract from it but if you MUST add something I always put 3 little pearls in a corner or in a row. Just makes me feel better to do it!
