I'm so happy with this card! But, I must admit I don't have the patience to wait for these little "buttons" to dry. I can't find the blog that showed how to make them, so sorry I can't give credit right now, I'll keep looking! You start with a punch, I used the 1/2 " one, and then drop some crystal effects on them and WAIT, and Wait.....you get the picture. At least overnight, but they are the neatest things when they are done. The only problem is, I thought they might stick to the waxed paper when I went to use them this morning, but no, they flew all over the place and I haven't found them all yet! I started with a piece of Afternoon Tea Designer paper, cut a coluzzle circle and made a scallop around it with my slit punch. Next I cut another circle of choc chip paper to center and then a scallop punch again on the designer paper. A Short and Sweet set of words on that, Hugs and Wishes Birthday wish underneath with white craft and then WAIT for the buttons. I actually waited two days, that is a record for me, but worth the wait. They are mounted with mini glue dots. and are the cutest darned things! The whole thing is mounted on Groovy Guave cardstock. What do you think?

I'm looking forward to a fun day at my friend's house. She is inviting a lot of people to make the Explosion Photo project we made many years ago. She is having a catered luncheon and then we are off to make pretty picture books! Sounds like fun doesn't it? With our new double sided designer paper, they are quite an improvement over the ones we used to make!! I know they will be happy with their creations and I'm sure it will be a fun day for all of us. I'll tell you about it tomorrow!! Without a doubt I'll be offering this class project soon to anyone interested.
