Buttons and Brads

Hi Everyone! It has been hot hot hot here the last couple of days. I'm so thankful we have A/C...even if we only need to use it a few weeks a year. I'm sitting in our bonus room (only room without A/C in our house) and its a cool 85 degrees. :)

I created my card today for the Paper Crafts August Gallery Challenge. The challenge was to incorporate buttons, brads and/or ribbon. You all know that I love buttons and the Basic Grey sets have been among my favs lately.

Aren't these citrus colors yummy? I picked up the coordinating brands and am loving them too!

And how could I forget the wonderful stamps! I used birds on a wire and salutations from Penny Black. Love the birds stamp!


Have a great day! I'm headed back to the A/C! :)
