Buttons galore!

I love buttons, I have a large collection different sizes, colours and shapes, so why don't I use them more often????? Infact why don't I use more of my older stash instead of buying more????? From now on I'm going to use the stash that I already have and not buy any new (unless I really, really need it!). Anyway, back to buttons, as you can see on my card I used a few. I followed the sketch from Truly Scrumptious with the optional extra of 'Dreaming of Summer' (I can always dream of summer and fingers crossed it will be a little better than the last one we had). Delightful challenges this week is buttons, a brand spanking new challenge Do You Stack Up? is Cute as a Button and Paper Sundaes challenge is Circles - covered a few challenges with my buttons, I should use them more often LOL! Paper: BasicGrey kioshi paper pad Stamp: Sugar Nellie daisy, Waltzingmouse Stamps frame it Ink: Memento Accessories: Copics, BasicGrey kioshi buttons and ribbon Thanks for looking.
