Hello crafty peeps!
This week at
we want to see buttons on your cards or projects.
Pretty simple, huh?
Here's my take on the challenge:
and the inside:
Ok, so I only put one button on my card. But, it came from the collection of
buttons that my Mom gave to me years ago. And she got the collection from
my Grandmother. Back in the day, they would salvage any buttons
that they could from coats/hats/pants/shirts/etc. So I find it nice to think that
this particular button came from a coat that my Aunt Jo
had from when she was 13 years old.
It's a comforting thought. ☺
Now it's your turn to break out those buttons and use them! Just link up to
Shopping Our Stash so we can admire your creations! For more
ideas, be sure to visit the blogs of my teammies and while there, leave
them some love! Thanks for visiting, have a great day!
Hugs,

I just love this card! Love the image and the background paper. It has a spring feel to it, but definitely a Christmas theme. Thank you for playing along with Sunday Stamps this week.
