When Was the Last Time YOU Used an Eyelet???

Hi everyone!  So?  When *was* the last time you used an eyelet or two?  I must admit that I have a rather extensive collection of eyelets that don't see the light of day very often.  I have a feeling that many of us are probably in this same boat so this week's challenge over at The 4 Crafty Chicks (brought to us by Lori) is to use eyelets somewhere on your project.  They can be big or little but they've gotta be eyelets.  :)

I found this lovely, serene, springy color combo over at the Just Us Girls challenge blog and, even though they aren't my *typical* colors, I went for it...that's why it's a *challenge* right?

I came across a new challenge blog the other day - Heart Song Inspirations - and it's a sketch challenge so I thought I'd give it a try and used their second sketch:

I promise that I really *did* uses eyelets...they are jumbo ones and I originally didn't plan on having the bows on my card but....ummmm...  Did you know that ribbon doesn't *really* like to be punched through with a Crop-o-dile?  So, my bows are an attempt to hide an "oops!"

Stamps: 1 Chronicles 16:3 Plain Jane (Verve)  Ink: Baja Breeze  Paper: Pink Pirouette, Soft Sky, Baja Breeze, Whisper White, SU! DSP  Accessories: Pink Pirouette grosgrain ribbon, jumbo eyelets, Crop-o-Dile, Nesties, paper piercer, chipboard swirl, MS glitter, Crystal Effects

I hope you will play along with us at the 4CCC - dig out those eyelets and get creative with them!  Can't wait to see what you all do!  See you all later - enjoy the rest of your week!
