Button buddies

Hi stampers!  I actually have a card for you today, shocking I know:-)  I wanted to post this when I made it weeks ago but it was for an organized swap so I didn't want to ruin the surprise.  I had been thinking about this card since I saw the new catalog.  I loved the button buddies set first off and I also loved the flower image and card shown in the catalog.  This set is named button buddies because it's made to use with our buttons.  I LOVE how SU thinks of stuff like that.  Now, of course you don't HAVE to use buttons if you don't want to and I wanted to show with this card that you could use MORE than just buttons.  I do have to say that my roommate at convention had some funny comments about the name of my most favorite set and now I can't mention it without giggling...but I'll forgive her, I guess:-)  I hope all the people in the swap liked the card, wanna see it?

Stampin' Supplies:
Stamps:  Button buddies, pursuit of happiness
Paper:  Whisper white, calypso coral, blushing bride, peach parfait
Ink:  Calypso coral, blushing bride, peach parfait
Accessories:  Basic pearls, in color printed brads

EEK!  Don't you just love it?  I LOVE when a card turns out BETTER in real life than in my head and that doesn't happen often!  LOL!  I was really pleased with the simple layout and pretty color combo.  I also loved the sentiment I used.  The pursuit of happiness set is another favorite for me!  I knew I wanted to use the in color polka dot brads (LOVE LOVE LOVE those) but the card needed something else so I added the pearls and they were the perfect touch!  See, you don't NEED to use buttons at all!

I hope to have some new stuff to share soon as well as more convention highlights.  Does anyone know where I can get a few more hours in my day?  LOL!  I took a nap as soon as I got home from work today, I'm wiped out.  AND I was dumb and made a hair appointment for before work tomorrow morning, yeesh!  What was I thinking?  I could sleep in a bit as I go in later tomorrow but it's hard to get in so I hate to postpone my appointment!  Anyway, I hope I can stamp tomorrow night.  I have SO many ideas and so much free stuff after convention and it's all sad and sitting in a heap on the floor in my studio.  Maybe I can at least put it away before bed tonight.  Wish me luck and hope to see you soon!  Happy stamping!
