Button It Up Shapely!

At Digistamps4Joy we are challenging you to -A shaped card with buttons 
Simple! Any shape, if you think about it all cards are shaped, but we would love it if you joined in with the fun and maybe make your card a different shape to the norm. Then add a button/s. Told you, easy! So strut your stuff over to the blog and show us your wonderful creations.

For my card I used digi images from the Garden set! I had some scrap left over of that beautiful ribbon! Just love how it turned out!

StampTV Challenge #2!

I had so much fun challenging myself in my first challenge at StampTV.com that I decided to do another challenge! Your chances at prizes for Gina K stamps are good if you use Gina K stamps within your card. (crossing my fingers this time) My second challenge I used the same stamp as the first challenge! I feel so creative!  This Mondays challenge is.. make a patriotic card, but no red & blue. I hope they aren't  picky about my colors, it looks blue in the photo but it is Teal & Cranberry mostly used here. :) My patriotism showing in my USA stamp as well as the Eagle stamp on my make believe envelope to a soldier.
