Button Bracelet

One of my friends at work wore this blue button bracelet to work and I loved it. I went home to my antique button box (My mom gave me years ago) and started making the black one. I appreciate my mother being so frugal by saving every button off clothes when they were wore out. All of these buttons were from my childhood at one time or another. The base of the bracelet is just wide elastic. Very simple but sure took a long time to tie every button on because you had to tie off each time.

Compostion Notebook Cover

I needed to create a project for a gift on a swap I am in on SCS. Her initial is N so I thought this would be a great gift. The papers I used are from the new set "Paisley Petals" from Stampin Up. Looks so vintage. I just love the colors.

Chocolate Easter Bunny

My good friend Olivia over at Oliva's Creative Quest was my secret sister at SCS a couple of years ago. She sent me the SU Chocolate Bunny Stamp and I have been having fun with it ever since . I know she will see this card and realize that I cased this card from the one she sent me. I just love every one of her cards. Another Easter card done.

New Flowers

I found these sculptured flowers at my last visit to Archivers and I just had to make a card with it. I embossed the bottom green with a leaf embossing folder. The brown flower is a die cut from Paper Trey Ink. The green stamped image is from SU Sweet Summer set which is my new favorite. I know it changes every day but this is it for today. I added a couple of the flowers for depth. The Happy Birthday image was from SU Well Scripted set.

Thinking of you

This was a very simple card that I had seen in a card magazine and thought I would put my own twist on it. The little flowers were a background image from Stampin Up called Pretty Pattern. I used my Versa Mark pad and then embossed with a white powder. I then added a small pearl in each center. The Thinking of You was from SU Warmest Regards. Very simple but still looks elegant.

Flower Card

I received my new CardMaker magazine in the mail today and decided to try one of the cards that was in the magazine. Not sure I would use these color combos again but I punched out the paper with the flower punch and oval and just added the buttons and stamped for you. The butterfly is my new favorite punch from Martha Stewart Designs. Just sending a little cheer with this bright card.
