Button Smiles

I would love to say that this was a quick card.  However, not so!

button smiles The inspiration was easy.  I knew I wanted to stamp this little bird on top of the cute sentiment and use this DP.  That’s where it stopped.  It seemed to take hours to figure out the perfect layout, then a LONG time to choose just the right buttons.  Oh my, this was just crazy!!!  But I do like the way the little flower button turned out.  I tied a bow behind the button to look like leaves and left the tails to look like a stem. 

Guess what I did?  I pulled out my sewing machine to sew on a card.  It’s coming up next.  I’m making it using the Cosmo Cricket Material Girl DP and it just screams “Sew Me.”  Sew, that’s what I’m going to do!  I hope it doesn’t take me as long to choose a layout. :-(

Be back in a bit with that card!!!

Blessings,

Christine

such a cute card, but I know what you mean...sometimes the cards that you think will be the easiest actually turn out to be the hardest! It was worth your time tho as this is so cute and that flower button just the right touch!

It's adorable.....and don't feel bad....there have been times, where I've taken much longer to put a card together than the time I thought it ought to take!

some cards are just like that Christine. Some come together so fast and others I fret over for days! I really like your end product though! Adorable and great use of buttons!

Sometimes it takes me days to make the most simple of cards. I get so frustrated. This however is well worth your efforts. Absolutely charming!
