Buttons and Bows (and a lovely photo challenge!)

Thursday, March 3, 2011




Melissa Phillips has started up her photo challenges again with photos from A Creative Mint. This challenge is all "hearty", and in soft pinks, which I love...so I had to play. There were three photos to challenge us this time...The buttons spoke to me. (And they were something I had plently of on hand!) So I created this little heart collage/focal point with my smallest Papertrey buttons, pearls, and some pale pink gems...The papers are somewhat of a collage, also...from The Paper Studio, Pink Paislee, and another scrap that no longer has a name :(
Anyway...there she is. I've added a Thickers chipboard piece (painted), some Etsy seam binding, doilies, burlap, vintage trim, tiny flowers, lovely leaves and a trinket pin. She's kinda soft and sweet! Can't wait to see the next challenge!

Thanks, Melissa, for making time for these fun and inspiring challenges!

Have a lovely day!!

  4. Oh Geri! The closeup of your little heart cluster actually had me gasping out loud...just like all your work does! Then when I saw the full card...well, I just sighed. Yes, I did! It's so much loveliness! What more can a girl do but gasp and sigh!...Nancy :o)

  6. Geri: This isn't just a card this is a CREATION!!! So pretty, it needs to be framed and hung in a special place. It is definitely a work of "love."
