Make My Monday Challenge

I can hardly believe just how long it has taken me this morning to make a card - the elements here (and others) have been shuffled around so many times they must be dizzy!!  The challenge at Make My Monday is to use ribbon and buttons and I decided straight away to use the Memory Box die cut tree and some tiny Papermania buttons but it was the rest of it which seemed to cause me problems.  Eventually I settled on Nestabilities and some die cut corners combined with punched ones and a piece of spotty paper from my oddments box.  All I can say is that it is a good job I'm not paid piece work - come to think of it I'm not paid full stop!! I do this for fun.

    You might do it just for fun, but I'm sure you enjoy it:) It was worth the shuffling as this looks really good, the button match the background colours you've chosen really well.

    Super layout and I love your button tree. The shuffling was definitely worth doing, really like the way that yellow layer is sitting. Your colours are great also. We are now totally fog bound. xx Flora

    Well Val your shuffling was very successful! I love that tree die, in fact I love most MB dies:) Love your colour combo too.

    These colours are definitely amongst my favourites & I love the way the polka dotted paper & holey corners echo the buttons & their holes. The offsetting of the image panel is delightful & my eye is always caught by your sentiment layering.

    I'm afraid almost every card I make involves a lengthy 'try this, shuffle it, all change' session. I am a very slow crafter and I'm sure you would despair, lol!

    As always your colour co-ordination is spot on Val and the final card was well worth your effort ....... for us especially ;D! The teeny buttons work perfectly on the pretty tree die. I only have one MB die (a corner) but I would love more, they are all so pretty.
