Button Bag

I am a new woman!! I wasn't sure that stomach bug would ever leave me, but it is a new day! I had to leave work early on Friday but by mid Saturday all was back on track. Yesterday was Hubby's birthday so we were busy celebrating, but I did squeak in a bit of stamping over the weekend.

The challenges at Sassy Cheryl's were so much fun, I downloaded another image and played along with some more challenges. This card is for the Color Me #16 and #55, Use something new challenges.

Kinda wacky, I know. Lots of colors and patterns going on here. I was feeling so good after the icky sickies left that I went a little crazy! My new items were the MFT die for the rolled flower and the Social Club paper pad from Cosmo Cricket. Oh, and I finally bought new thread for my sewing machine. I was missing stitching. The image is one of 2 that Cheryl posted for the color me challenge, I like the whimsy of the buttons. I popped up a few of the buttons and the heart on the bag.

Thanks for stopping by! Blessings on your day.

3-fer

Someone at work is retiring and I volunteered to make the card. Do you know how many retirement images are out there?? Not enough! I spent quite a bit of time hunting on-line for digi images to work with and eventually pieced some things together. I will post the finished card in a day or two.

In all that searching I discovered a couple new-to-me companies. I love those happy discoveries! One of those companies is Sassy Cheryl, what a fun shop to browse! I purchased a digi image and created a 3-fer challenge card.

First, it uses the March SFYTT sketch by Jen.

And then I combined 2 challenges from Sassy Cheryl's blog, the Color Me #14 and Challenge #54, Pink & White. Here is the final card...

I needed to make my card 5 1/4" square to accommodate the larger image I printed. All coloring done with Copics. I used bits of dark brown crocheted ribbon on the middle strip and added a die cut flower. The sentiment is from Verve.

I had a spurt of creating energy and I hardly wanted to stop but with daylight savings tonight it has gotten to be way past my bedtime. Good new though cause now I have blog fodder for a few days!

Have a great Sunday and thanks for visiting!
