Pound Shop Pretties

The challenge over at DCM this week is:

Pound Shop Pretties. 

search out those pound shops or dollar stores and find new things to add to your stash - then create a card using your new found bargains!!

My crafty bargain was an embroidery kit from TK Maxx.  Loads of Anchor embroidery floss all in lovely pinks, reds and creams, a large rectangle of embroidery fabric and a stitching chart (won't be needing that lol!) all for £1. 

Another crafty find was this zip trim from John Lewis.  I wouldn't say that was a bargain though!

Images and Sentiment: Pink Petticoat - Material Girl

Cardstock:  Pink Petticoat - Organics Kraft Pack

Chalks and Promarkers

Seam Binding

Ribbon Rose and Press Stud fastener

Machine Stitching

Glamour Dust glitter

And My Winners Are...
