Bulldog’s Bear

Pin It

It’s Thursday so it means it is time for a new Meljen’s Designs challenge.  This week, the challenge is one that I love – BUTTONS. 

 

 

For my card this week, I decided to use one of my favorite images, Bulldog’s Bear.   I also broke out some Pebbles papers that I won.  Once again, I made 2 cards, one for my stash and one for OWH or my daughter’s schools annual fundraiser.

Be sure to link up your BUTTON creation on the Meljen’s Designs blog for your chance to win some Meljen’s Designs digital images.   While you are there, you can also see the challenge rules and see the DT’s creations.

 

Thank you for stopping by!

I love buttons, too! Really cute card, Cheryl! I so love the layers and the mixture of colors and patterns. So always blow me out of the water with your mad layering skills. Awesome coloring, too, as always. Love the twine wrap with the trio of buttons.
