Losing Buttons to Today's Project



Welcome to my little world of craft puddles! I'm so glad you are joining us here on the hop with Buttons Galore and More, because you can't go wrong with a these embellishments! 


I had a lot of fun creating my project for today using an assortment of buttons that I picked up at my local Craft Warehouse. Why? Because I actually lost the fabulous assortment I received from the folks at Buttons Galore and More!

I'm doing an overhaul of my art studio and those little buttons are somewhere lost in the mess. :) I was so happy to remember that I bought a box of their Haberdashery buttons locally and I called my store to see if they still carried them. BOY, did they and there were so many to choose options. In the end I bought to awesome collections (Scary and Citrus).

Before we move on to how I made my card today I wanted to make sure you knew that our hop is all week long and that there are prizes! You can see all the details every day this week over on the Stampendous blog. Be sure to go back every day for new blog hop lists and more inspiration!

    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS card!!!
    LOVE your tree and how you have decorated it with the pretty buttons!!!
    I have two confessions, one is that I put crafty treasures aside in a "safe place" but all too often FORGET where that "safe place" is, so I can totally relate to your buttons hiding while you're sorting your stash!!! The other is that I have three sets on the top of my shopping list for the Craft Show I'm going to this weekend and it includes the Pop Up, Create A Christmas and Create A Poinsettia sets => THANK YOU for the INSPIRATION :)

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
