This week's challenge was to add buttons to your card.
I used a die from Dreamweaver to make by apron. I added button brads to the top of my apron, and I die cut buttons from a sizzix die. My rubber stamped sentiment is from Stampin' Up. My designer paper is from Stampin' Up too.
This verse is going to go inside my card.
A heaping cup of Christmas Joy
A large measure of good cheer
equal parts of love
happiness for the coming year.
Place ingredients in warm surroundings.
Combine with lots of merry laughter.
Garnish each portion with good fortune!
Serve with smiles ever after.
Serve as many as you can.
Merry Christmas

It was for Challenge #191 (Chalkboard Challenge) I just realized today that I had never even taken
a photo of it.
