Wear Your Hat...with Buttons

Good Morning, 

Welcome back for another challenge at Made Especially for You. You are going to enjoy this week's challenge. I sure did since I was able to use one of my favorite embellishments.  

 

This week's challenge...3 Buttons

  

Here is my Design Team project...

Materials:

Kate's ABCs ~ hat3 (p. 28) cut at 2"

K&Company paper ~ Edamame stack

blue card stock

Fiskars corner punch

computer generated sentiment

Other hat quotes:

 "Fashion is a kind of communication. It's a language without words. A great hat speaks for itself."

"Wearing a hat is like having a baby or a puppy; everyone stops to coo and talk about it." (Louise Green)

With the right hat, nothing else matters. (LaPaloma Hats)

So many hats and only one head!

Beautify America. Wear a hat!

Are You a Gator Fan?

Although I live in Florida and only 45 minutes from the University of Florida (UF), I decided to attend USF (Tampa). I have a co-worker that has a son who is a BIG Gator fan and his birthday is next week.

I made this card just for him.

 Yes, the school colors are orange and blue.

• The gator and sentiment were cut from the Birthday Bash cartridge.
• The orange paper is BoBunny.
• various buttons and ribbon

Something Cute

When someone tells you to make something "cute" it opens the door to so many opportunities. Well, that is what Robyn said at My Pink Stamper. I decided to use the Doodlecharms cartridge because everything is so adorable.

• I layered yellow metallic paper with polka dotted paper by Debbie Mumm. I used the Dots Cuttlebug folder to emboss all the circles. 
• I criss-crossed the sheer polka dotted ribbon and tied a button with blue embroidery floss in the center.
• I cut the gumball machine from Doodlecharms at 2 1/2". The gumballs are various small buttons. I used foam dots to adhere to paper.
• The "Sweet" is stamped in orange and layered on the yellow metallic paper.

 I definitely think it is "cute" and ready for a child. I am thinking about bringing some of my cards to the local hospital wing ~ Pediatric units or a nursing home.  After reading about Robyn's Random Act of Kindness it made me think of what more can I do to help my community. I am sure those sick kids or lonely seniors would love to receive something special.

Stay Creative,

Button, Buttons, and More Buttons

My daughter and I went to Joann's this afternoon and found a bunch of buttons on clearance for 10 cents, 25 cents, and 50 cents; therefore, so we stocked up. I also received 15% off with my teacher discount.

She picked out most of the buttons on the bottom row.

When we returned home, I separated all the buttons in a craft organizer.

Curious to know...how do you organize your embellishments? Please share your tips here for others!

Now I am ready to start crafting before the season finale of Leverage.

 Enjoy the rest of your Labor Day weekend.

Stay Creeative,

Georgiana : )
