Shoes and handbags

After a swift trip to our local chemist my feet just happened to carry me into the shop next door (now how did THAT happen?). It's mostly a soft furnishings store but they do have some great deals on lace and ribbon bundles if you don't mind turning dizzy from scrabbling round in big plastic boxes lined up on the floor. They also have a small selection of card making goodies and, as the grey mist cleared and I could focus again, I spotted one lonely little pack of shoes and handbags embellishments that just struck a chord. They have a patent leather feel about them - with sparkle too - and I knew exactly what I had in mind, for once:

 

The light here is horrendous (today's big word) today and I had to resort to using the flash. So, the handbags and shoes embossed round the edge of the card kinda disappear unless you press your nose against the screen (cooooe, I can see you). The cards were bought ages ago from The Range ready embossed, I've no idea though why they couldn't have centred the embossing down each side. I'm a bit OCD about things being precisely done you might have guessed :(

The black and the pink sparkly card came from my snippets, my silly very true sentiment was printed on white card and cut to size (some snippets used, others created!) and then the shoes and handbag were added. And, of course, I added some Josy Rose nail heads. I really am loving these right now!

On a roll, I used the other part of the set of embellies to make this, same but different colours: 

Done and dusted - and this week I'm making sure I link this to Jules Craft Snippets Challenge - Week 32 in really good time. I beat the end of playtime bell by a whisker last week and, having had to write out an enormous chunk of of Morte D'Arthur in detention at school, there's no way I want to risk having to that ever again:)) And yup, you guessed, it was for chattering in class :(

Quick hedgehog update: The past two evenings I've chanced upon Spike (or friend) 'mid-dinner'. He's coming to visit earlier and earlier (or are the nights already drawing in?!). On both occasions he froze and peered anxiously at me over the feeding bowl for a while, even though I stood absolutely still.......then he upped and ran off behind the shed as fast as his little legs could carry him!
