You Make Life Sweet

I love breakfast food (for any meal of the day) and the Time Out Challenges #295 Photo Inspiration was all I needed to get out some dies to make one of my favorite breakfast treats: a crisp waffle, and why not some tea with lemon. The only thing better than a waffle for me is an almond croissant!

Carol, such a great take on the challenge photo. I love how you have arranged your elements and that little touch of red and white twine on the cutlery was the perfect finishing touch. Oh... and those waffles look delicious!
