Buttons
Now I know that sounds easy, but I think I'm 'button-challenged' and find it really hard to use them on my cards! In the end after a LOT of faffing about, I just used one as a wee accent in the bottom corner! Upload your card to Dream Valley and have a wee look at some of the fab cards from the DT (... this week's sponsor is Digis with Attitude)
The image in my card is an older High Hopes image ... 'Dad's Catch'. I don't normally do anything on the inside of my card, but I'd coloured up Pelican's Post and had no room on the front for him! And I've Jodie from Oz to thank for introducing me to raffia lace as she sent me the most beautiful card and it had some on it, so of course I couldn't resist getting some of my own! (You should pop over to Jodie's blog to see her gorgeous cards when you get the chance, they're absolute stunners)Other challenges:
- Cute Card Thursday #182 - anything goes
- Simon Says Stamp ... inspired by a song - what about 'Gone Fishin' by Louis Armstrong for this one!
- Fab'n Funky #90 - Bingo - I chose the top line ... embellishment (bling), button and stamp
- Creative Inspirations #129 - anything goes
- The Crafty Pad #139 - diamonds

What a great take on the theme. Super card. Thanks for taking part at The Crafty Pad this week.
What a brilliant card. Love that pelican on the inside too. xx
Love your comment 'button challenged'. I bought myself two gorgeous poppered bags if buttons, but there are no matching pairs and I find it extremely difficult to just use bunches of odd buttons on my cards, so perhaps I too am challenged. For my own I had to use old cardi buttons, lol
Love your card here, that fisherman's expression is just great, and I love the way he matched the background paper so beautifully.
