Good morning, Miria  here with some more inspiration for the  theme

Fabby sponsors are:

Simon Says Stamp

and



Prize

    
And now for some more fab samples from the DT:

Annette
Another 'tasteful' skirt
(Dusky pink mini-skirt this time. I dread to think how old this was!)

made into a little baggie.
I also recycled a ribbon from a very yummy box of chocs
and also the pink backing card was from an old office file divider.


And matching card, again using the old office folder divider
for the pink matt behind the image and die cut.


We celebrated our niece's confirmation
at the beginning of September.
And I brought home some parts of the table decorations. (I did ask!)
Recycled flowers, ribbon and the silver paper
from the placements cards.





I used a big matchbox
