I do! In fact, I have tons of them. I think I have mentioned previously that I have a problem with pink buttons in particular. They seem to multiply every time I leave my craft room. Since the new Meljen’s Designs images (see the preview below) are craft related, I thought I would see if I could find a way to use up some of my pink buttons.
How’s that? I was happily able to use up some of my stash of buttons, ribbon, and trims. I keep telling myself that I need to use up more of my stash before buying new goodies.
Check out Melissa’s new images which are available today on Whimsy Stamps. I hope these might inspire you to use up some of your stash. Stop by the Meljen’s Designs blog and get the adorable freebie from Monday that coordinates beautifully with the new images or could be used on its own.
The Meljen’s Designs challenge for this week is “Frame It!” We are challenging you to make something and put it in a frame or make a card with the image framed with nesties or something similar. You can find the challenge rules and inspiration from the design team on the Meljen’s Designs blog.
Thank you for stopping by!

Very creative and fun card. You know I just recently learned of the MelJen's Freebie Monday's and I've started checking for them on a regular basis now. I'm surprised at how cute some of those freebies are. You've done a great job combining the sewing machine with the buttons on this.
What a perfect way to use your buttons! I love that sewing machine image. I've got my paper crafts magazine 'sewing stamps' page dog eared in order to see which manufacturer I want to buy from!
I'd be stamping more sewing, than actually sewing!!!!
