Hi ladies, this week the PPA challenge is called PPA58-Pretty In Pearls. I could not resist doing this challenge when I saw the photo of Audrey Hepburn wearing her signature black dress and white pearls. This card is suppose to be clean and simple as I think by now you all know how I love clean and simple. :)
Here is my card.
I sure sure hope that you can see all of the little pearls that I used. Four of them are on the flowers on the embossing folder. A litle hard to see.
Here is what I used.
All products are from Stampin'UP! Stamps: Silhouette Sentiments & Occasional Quotes. Card-Stock:
Basic Black & Very Vanilla. Ink: Black and Rich Razzleberry. I also used basic pearls,Elegant bouquet embossing folder and a Rich Razzleberry satin ribbon. I used 10 tiny pearls. Can you see them all? Hope so. :)
We were very fortunate here in New England. We escaped the hurricane that was suppose to hit us. Thakfully all we got was rain. And the air is so much cooler. yay! I went for a 2 and a half mile walk this evening and it was so nice. On Tuesday, I went and visted my daughter and 2 granddaughters for a little while. I don't get to see them as often as I would like to. So if coure I took a few photos..
On the right is my granddaughter Darcy and her BFF Emily.
Here is a photo of Darcy, Jen, my daughter and Molly my oldest granddaughter.
Here is Jen and of course you know me. :) Molly took this photo of us.
Well that is about it from me. I will be back when I have something more to share with you. In the mean time I hope that all of you have a fantastic Labor day weekend. Stay safe,stay cool and Smile. :)
Such an elegant card, Mary. The pearls - a lovely feminine touch. Lovely photos of you and your family.

Gorgeous & oh so elegant card, I luv it Mary!
Yes we dodged the storm, we were very lucky.
We cut our little trip short because of it & driving home yesterday morning in those down pours was aweful...no wind at least & we made it safe & sound.
Your photos are fantastic as usual & you all look great & very happy. Thanks for sharing Mary! Have a great Holiday weekend!
