March 2010 PTI Blog Hop



I love it when the Blog Hop happens over a break from school! It has been wonderful to participate and have a few minutes to think about what I am doing, lol. The challenge this month was BUTTONS! Oh, running my fingers through buttons is truly a favorite pastime.

Here is my card with PTI white and Hawaiian Shores CS. The circle embossing was done with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The PTI buttons nestled right into the openings of the larger open circles. The PTI Rickrack Die makes a great divider setting off the scored lines at the bottom of the card. The dragonfly is from Wishing You and the butterfly is from Butterfly Dreams.

Happy Spring and Happy Hopping.

How cute. Love that you carried out the "circle" theme from the background to the buttons with a touch of whimsy with the butterflies. Very nice.
