Cute as a Button

Morning all


Much cooler today with some westerly winds,  . Yesterday i got back around 2 p.m. and had some lunch and started to think about my next layout, I thought about what photo i wanted to use next as trying to use one photo out of each envelope , the next envelope was black and white photos  so i knew that there was no Christmas photos (most of the challenges this month are Christmas Themed. so need to choose a challenge that would suit a black and white photo. I decided to do the "Kraft plus"  challenge which is "Needles and Pins". I had been given some Kaisrcraft papers from 2013 called "Needle and Thread" so thought this was the appropriate paper to use, raided my sewing  stash for a few other bits and pieces as well
