Paper Pretties' Wednesday Challenge #187: Brads vs. Eyelets?

Stamps:  Paper Pretties 'Frosty'.  Cardstock:  Night of Navy, Silver, Papertrey white, K&Co. 'Let it Snow!' DP.  Ink:  Memento black, Night of Navy, Copics.  Accessories:  snowflake brads, red satin ribbon, Circle Nestabilties.

I'm back!  After a year's leave of absence for our family's move to the new mini farm (and trust me, even a year isn't long enough to be completely organized), I am once again one of the Prettie Girls!!

Welcome to Paper Pretties' Wednesday Challenge #187!

This week's challenge is to create a project using brads or eyelets.  There's no question which embellishment I reach for -- love those brads in all their shapes and colors!  And my noise tolerance really can't handle placing eyelets, although I hear new, silent gadgets are now available?

The sketch is courtesy of Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #149.
