We are SO EXCITED to be hopping with Buttons Galore and More for a whole week. We have some fun projects to share that all include an abundance of buttons that were so generously sent to our team.
Buttons Galore and More provides a wide selection including specialty designed embellishments for celebrations, holidays, and various other events and themes. Find a plethora of choices on their website at Buttons Galore and More!
This week has been one of those weeks when I would love to grab a blanket, curl up and hide from the world! Well, since I can’t do that, I’ve got a super cute little House-Mouse® that can! Isn’t this a sweet stamp? I love it! I tried to mimic the patterned paper with my design of circles and hexagons and I have to admit, I’m pretty pleased with the results. The sweet buttons from Buttons Galore was the perfect finishing touch!
