Tuesday Alchemy Challenge #23: Button, Button, Whose Got A Button?


Do you have buttons? I have a few. I'm sure you do, too. Why not use them this week for Tuesday Alchemy's challenge? All you have to do is add one to ANY craft, share it with us & you could win a prize!

The prize is provided by Robyn's Fetish. They offer a variety of digital stamps for every style, occasion & need. Come play with us & you may just win FIVE digital stamps of your choice. Wouldn't that be fantastic? Yep, I know it would.

For this creation, I used a digital stamp from Robyn's Fetish. I added a smattering of buttons, faux flowers & twine. It's CAS, yet so much fun AND it's made up of my favorite color scheme: red & light blue.

"There is no snooze button on a cat
who wants breakfast."

"I say, if you believe what you read in comic strips, then you believe that mice run around with gold buttons on their pants & drive cars."
- Mort Walker

"It usually takes two people a little while to learn where the funny buttons are and the testy buttons are."






Since I adore these colors, you can find them among my other creations, too!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #16: Photo Inspiration - Finally




Aaww . . . isn't this photo just SO romantic? It is our inspirational photo at {PIN}spirational Challenges this week. I adore how simple yet absolutely lovely it is!

"Whatever our souls are made of,
His and mine are the same."
- Emily Bronte









When I originally saw the challenge, I had an entirely different idea in my head. It all changed when I remembered that I had these wonderful wedding stickers & vellum quote.

I added a handmade flower (I just can't stop making these!), pearls, tulle & a faux diamond ring. Ta-dah!




This card was submitted to these wonderful challenge blogs.

She Paints Beauty

{ Violets & Forget-Me-Nots Flower Vase }



I have always longed to be a painter. I try, try again & then I just give up for the time being. Someday, I will be one! For now, I enjoy viewing others' creations . . .

Lisianblue is one of those shops that I have just found & love to visit. It's made up of handpainted glass that is truly beautiful.

Kris is the creator of Lisianblue. The name of her shop came from one of her favorite flowers - the blue listhianthus. She lives in New Mexico, using her greatest ability: creating!





{ Stained Glass Butterfly }






Kris doesn't just paint glass. She also creates beautiful stained glass pieces. They are stunning in their simplicity!

She also offers appliques & ornaments that are equally lovely & definitely worth the look.
