Stella Says Sketch #206 & Simon Says Anything Goes with Buttons!

I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend!

Still a lot of snow on the ground here,

but we still managed a short hike today.

I received some exciting news today

as well, but I'm not sure that I can

share with you yet!  

More to come!

I also managed a little crafty time to

put together this sweet card for a couple

of challenges.

First, I have used this week's Freebie Friday

image from Bugaboo called "Button Bear".

This sweet image was so much fun to color and 

quickly went together.  The image was printed twice and the

button was fussy cut.  Glossy accents were added and holes punched

to allow for the baker's twine bow.  I pulled out some older Stampin'

Up! papers that worked perfectly with the button theme.

The card layout is from this week's Stella's Sketch challenge:

Here's a close up of the sweet Button Bear image:
