Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge 89

2nd Post of the Day!

I pulled out these gorgeous Basic Grey Ambrosia papers today and thought they'd be fun for stacking up for this Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge.  That is, after I got over the fact that they're so pretty that I didn't want to cut them up!  Does this happen to any of you?  Do you find yourself "saving" things (papers, embellishments, etc) for the perfect card?  Sometimes I feel like I can't use something because I might not do it justice.  This is why my supplies build up so much faster than cards get made!  :)

Supplies: Card Blank: Handy Hippo; Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Ambrosia; Stamp: Cloud 9 sentiment; Ink: SU Basic Grey; Other: BG Ambrosia stickers, BG gems, Martha Steward butterfly punch, Fiskars threading water border punch, Micro Pop Dots

There She Goes Challenge 86

This will be my first challenge entry via my blog.  (I've entered a few before from my flickr account).  The challenge is at There She Goes which I discovered through Angela's Sparkle and Bling blog and the entries have to utilize buttons.  I tried to do something a little different and use the buttons to make an accent.  It didn't quite turn out the way I envisioned it initially but it's given me a jumping off point for a future card.
