Hello Friend!

This is my third card for this week's camp.  I'm hoping to dig out some patterned paper and see if I can get one more in for this week.  For this card, I kept it simple using dies, an impression plate and buttons.


I talked myself out of the Sunshine Impression plate from PTI so many times I can't even count them. So glad that I finally left it in my cart.  It's one of my favorites.

The only hard part about this card was threading the twine through the buttons - that took some time, but I like them better with the twine.  Do you have a preference for buttons - with twine or without?  I'd love to know what you think!

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

Wonderful card, Lee Anne! I love how all the circles are tied together and the angled sentiment really draws my eye there. :)

I love that impression plate, too! When I first saw it, I knew I had to get it! Love your card! The buttons just flow with the texture!

Very colorful card. Like the way you've used the circle die. I have that one, but have yet to use it since I din't buy the stamps. This is a great idea to use buttons. to answer your question, I like to thread my buttons with twine.

Love this!! I really like all the circles - and how the sentiment is in a different shape which makes it really catch my eye. And I'm a "with twine/thread" kind of girl. Otherwise, I think the buttons look naked and we can't have naked buttons on our cards!!! :D

Love how you used these colors! I prefer the buttons with twine and appreciate the time it takes.....much more finished look IMHO! :)

Oh so cut! I love how you used the IP and the Circle die! The theme flows throughout! I love it!

LOVE IT!!
That "pop" of color against all the white...
makes me smile!
And personally...
I like the twine...
makes it look "complete" to me...
but sometimes...
I'm lazy! :)
