Happy Saturday!
I had a little time to get crafty today - Yay! My son is so cute - he loves to stop in my craft Cabana and ask if there is something he can color, if there are any paper combinations or embellies he can pick out - like these buttons!
He picked out 4 random buttons and said "here, mommy - these are for your card!" Oh, a challenge - create a card around 4 random buttons ... I'm in! :)
I adore Mo Manning images and this one called Nesto just makes me smile every time I color it up! The challenge on the blog this week is "F is for ..." and I chose fUn! After all, wearing a beach bucket on your head and being at the beach surely is FUN! :) I pulled some Sundrifter papers from Studio Calico - oh this is so luscious, I am already awaiting my next card with this pack! I chose these papers to match the colors of his bathing suit.
I found this awesome sketch from Sketch Saturday
and love it. I kept it the same sans the star image (I used a cluster of buttons) and switched sides with the sentiment ~ or arrow in this case :)
I'll enter this card into Mo Manning's challenge #192 "For is for ..."
and Sketch Saturday #266.
That's it for me for today!
I'm a little banged up from a kitchen accident and about to head to the bedroom to snuggle up with a wonderful book I'm reading and some quiet time while dh juggles the kids, movie night and lots of popcorn (and to their delight, soda and candy - woot, woot!)
Big hugs, Bigger Blessings!

Fabulous color, adorable image and tell your son the buttons look perfect! Absolutely love your design and take on the sketch. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh Kelly...sorry, it's not fun...it's SUPER FUN! :) You should let the little fella pick your buttons all the time cause his picks spurred a cheerful, fun, summery, and adorable card!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this captivating cutie!! Sensational work with this precious Mo Manning image, Kelly!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable card! I love his 'lil belly! Your buttons match the papers perfectly. I like how you placed them in the corner of the image.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you feel better soon! Take care.
Now that sounds like a great idea - a book and comfort while DH does family duty - painful way to get it though...
ReplyDeleteLove your card and what a challenge to take - design a card around four buttons! Love it.
