ISS Wednesday Challenge - Buttons

This week's challenge over at the InStyle Stamps blog is BUTTONS! I normally don't use buttons on my cards....so this was a nice change for me! Our friends just had a baby girl a couple week's ago so I decided to make my challenge card a baby card for them. Click here to go and read all the details so you can enter our fun challenge!!!

I have used Ava a new fairy stamp that will be released the end of August during our InStyle Stamps blog hop (the last friday of the month). Isn't she a cutie? I love the banner she is holding where you can add whatever message you would like! Perfect for my Teeny Tiny Wishes stamps from SU!
Of course I had to use my new pendant nesties too! These are so much fun and have so many different uses! Such as putting them behind my flowers...I love the look that gives! I LOVE them!!!

I am also entering this card in a few challenges this week! At A Spoonful of Sugar the challenge is to use flowers on your card...yup, used lots of flowers here! Also at Copic Creations their challenge is coloring Anime Eyes....and seeing how ISS is their sponsor this week I of course have to enter that one! You can win new fairy stamps that aren't even released yet....how cool is that! Finally I am going to enter this in the Simon Says Challenge which is to use buttons & ribbon on your creation! Gotta love the teddy bear ribbon!!!

I'm having so much fun being back in my craft corner, sure beats studying! WELCOME summer!!! I also have some VERY fun news to share!!! In about a week and a half I will be taking a trip across state to become COPIC CERTIFIED!!!! WOO-HOO!!!! I am so excited to be taking the Copic class and am looking very forward to it! I still can't believe I was chosen to attend!
