BUTTON, BUTTON WHO'S GOT THE BUTTON??

I do and I love them!!!! HAH! I have an obsession with buttons of any kind - I have tons of them in clear containers that I can run my hands through and look at all the different shapes, colors, and sizes.  Heehee, I bet you did NOT know that about me did you?? *wink* I think they are the best embellishments - I hardly ever do a scrap page or a card without adding one!  So, when Stampin' Up! came out with a new set called Button, Button AND I earned it for free during one of their challenges, well, I was thrilled to my toes!!!!!  I used this set on this card for my downline shoebox swap and I have to say, the ladies loved all the different colors.  It is soooo much fun to play with this set - and I can use as many buttons as I cant and make them any color I want! Such a great set!!! I wanted this card to be bright and cheery so I picked some of my favorite colors and stamped all my fun little button designs in them.  And, I used my circle punches to punch them all out so it was really quick and simple! I also used another favorite stamp set of mine called Punch Bunch - aren't those flowers purdy??  This set is in the Sale-a-Bration catty and will be available to earn FREE with a qualifying $50 order on the 25th of January!! I used my stampin' write markers to ink up the stamp and punched out the image using my scallop circle punch - looooove it!! So super quick and easy and well, cute, right??!!!!  No sentiment on this one - I left it to them to use this card however they felt like.  I sure do love stamping with my downline, it makes me smile and feel good! Nothing like a room full of gals who love to stamp - such a GREAT feeling!!!!  I look forward to our meetings every month, especially when we do a card swap - so much fun!!! I have TONS of stamping to do today as I have filled my weekend with fun events - I have a mini book class tomorrow night, two workshops on Saturday, and them my Scrap Club gals come over on Sunday - whooohoooo!! Sooo, lots to get done - I best get to it :-)  Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you get to fit a little creative time into your schedule today too! I will be back tomorrow with another fun project to share so until then, Happy Stampin'!!!!!

I'M NEW TO CARD MAKING, AND HAVE LEARNED ALOT OF WAYS TO MAKE CARDS BEAUTIFUL. I SEND CARDS TO OUR TROOPS, SO THEIR A LITTLE PLAIN. BUT I ALSO AM MAKING CARDS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS ALSO, AND ADDING EMBELLISHMENTS IS FUN. I JUST WISH I HAD THE CREATIVE MIND THAT YOU HAVE WHEN IT COMES TO EMBELLISHMENTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
