Here we are then, almost the weekend - yay! :)
Now, Im not a big fan of using buttons on my projects - I thinks they belong on yer cardi! ;) lol, however a few challenges this week want to see buttons, and they I do look cute on baby cards.
This is a bit pastel-y for me. I was trying to keep it soft and a little simpler than normal as I'm always inspired when I visit Katinas blog with her simple, but elegant and sweet cards. I like to faff a lot, and find it hard to walk away thinking its finished if it was too quick. :) So this is quick, simple and clean for me.
I used a fabulous freebie digi image by Meljen - I love her images, so intend to get a few more quite soon. I used K&Co papers, MS pap and the charm was from a recent win on Lexi's blog and its from Ewe2can craft.

I am slowly getting used to the idea of using them on my cards, but can't work out why they always look better on someone elses card than they do on mine...!?!?! Lol!
