Jillibean Soup | Thank You card...

Hi Everyone!  Up on the Jillibean blog today there is a lot of Summery goodness going on in the form of some very beautiful cards!  And I don't know about you, but as the Winter winds start to pick up here in the Southern Hemisphere, I am in need of a little visual warmth!  *grin*

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Jillibean Soup; other - Jillibean Soup: diecuts, buttons, epoxy buttons, twine, soup label (cardstock sticker) & felt blossom.

I love these colours together.  It makes me want to break out the picnic basket... *grin*  Head on over to Jillibean Soup to see what the other DT members have created for "Cards on Monday".  Thanks for visiting..x

 

Bella Blvd | Button Love..

Hi Everyone!  Today over at Bella Blvd we are sharing some fun ways to use buttons on our layouts.  I had a chance to contribute to this fun challenge but I also teamed up the gorgeous Bella Blvd Button Market buttons with plenty of designer tape!

 

"Homemade Easter Eggs"



 

Bella Blvd products used: Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Pickle Juice; All American: Borders & Cute Cuts; Sand & Surf: Beach Balls, Miniatures; Birthday Boy: Alpha+Bits Stickers; High Five Alpha Stickers: Gulf; Designer Tape: Yellow Chevron, Red Chevron, Blue Chevron, Pickle Juice Chevron, Orange Stripe, Polkadot Combo, Pickle Juice Stripe, Yellow Stripe; Button Market: Orange Stars, Outdoors, Wood Mix, Checkers, Tie Dye, Red Flowers; Cling Stamps: Sand & Surf; other - Kaisercraft cardstock, black pen (sharpie), twine.

I really do love how the different product collections all match perfectly with each other. Four photos, six different buttons and eight different strips of designer tape!  I was in scrapbooking heaven when I create this layout.  It all came together way too easily...

I also adore the fresh bright colours of the alpha stickers laid directly on top of the designer tape.  Those little fussy cut flowers were created using the new Bella Blvd Sand & Surf cling stamps.  A great product to work with and stamps very clear images.

I hope you have been inspired to break out your own personal button collection to create with sometime this week!  I always love a challenge and now I can cross this event off my to-scrap list!  LOL!  Did you notice the date in the journaling?  2011...!  I am so thankful (over and over again) that I am not a chronological scrapper!  *grin*  I would never get anything done if I were! And I know for sure that I'd never be up-to-date! Thanks for visiting..x
