Buttons, buttons...

Hi bloggies! Wow, this entire week was very busy for me. I hardly had any time to make some cards. But of course I have to squeeze in my cards for my DT posts. At least there was some time for a little fun. I'm so sad to say that I wasn't able to join in last night's Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop. I didn't get back home from work until 10:00pm and by then I was too exhausted to do anything else. I apologize if you haven't seen a lot of posts from me lately. I know the feeling of disappointment when there aren't enough new posts on the blogs that I follow. It's always nice to see other people's inspiring work. I find that I always pick out one thing that strikes me and I work around that on the next card that I make. 


Anyway, let's move onto this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge 36! Yay! Here's the sketch for this week.



As I was telling the other Mischief Makers, I decided to be a little rebel this week and not follow the sketch to the tee. Tee hee! :) Here's my card....


Instead of using my stamps on the three circles aligned on the right side of the card, I opted to put buttons there! I used my Waltzingmouse stamps to make a background for my card instead. I used Seasons of Love - Tags and Very Vintage Labels #4.  I just love how this turned out. Specially the soft blue colors that just melt into the vintage cream cardstock. I hope you'll be joining us this week in WMSC 36! We have a free stamp set for one lucky winner! See you there everyone! :)
