With a little help from a friend....

Today I did a layout for a challenge on http://www.scrappingaround.net.au/ . We were given the title - Back to Basics - and had to use black cardstock, purple and jade/green paper, ribbon, stickers, eyelets, rhinestones and pearls. We could not use chipboard - fine, I could handle that. The other no no was FLOWERS!!!! NO FLOWERS AT ALL - now that is a major problem.
This left me only one option - call in help!

Select the paper:

Cut some cardstock:
The eyelet is in here somewhere:
Nat's job is done:
The finished layout:In the process I had to rescue my sanding disk, ink, eraser and ribbon from Nat rat - apparently they are quite tasty!

Karen, aren't you lucky you had Nat to help you out. Otherwise you wouldn't have been able to do it without flowers. HEHE

The layout looks great.
