Just Neutrals at "The Shabby Tea Room"

Here we are in November and we have had our first SNOW...ugh!!

At least I got some enjoyment working on my project for

"The Shabby Tea Room"

This week, using the inspiration photo below, we were asked to

make a project using only Neutral colors, cream, white, black, brown, and/or gold.

Our sponsors this week are Paper Temptress and Paper Sweeties.

I used some gorgeous papers from Paper Temptress.

Cryogen White, Antique Gold Metallic, Cream Velvet, and Quartz Metallic

From Paper Sweeties I used the sentiment from the adorable set "Give Thanks"

Now I have to say this is not at all what I had in mind to do, 

but sometimes life has a way of throwing you off balance.

So all I am saying "due to a technical difficulty"...

I had to completely "rethink" my project as we were leaving on Friday

and would not be back until after this posted.

However, all that being said, I LOVE how this turned out...

so maybe this was "meant to be"!!

The background paper is a new pad I received a few weeks ago

called Faith from Authentique ,

I love this paper so much I am ordering a second one this week!!

The die used was one when a group of us got together and one of the girls

brought in boxes of things she had purchased in duplicate.

I bought a ton of her stuff and this was one of the items....

a Spellbinders die called Lattice Motifs.

I could hardly wait to use it, and when cut on that gorgeous Quartz Metallic paper

wow..it is stunning!!

I used an Impression Obsession small leaf die and another die from Marianne.

I encourage you to head on over to "The Shabby Tea Room" and see what the other

"Shabby Girls" have to offer you.

I want to welcome Tracey Kelly back on to the team.
