A Bit of Button Love...

I hope for all my U.S. readers that you all had fun and full-of-bbq goodness 4th of July's! Today I get to share a couple projects I created with the fun "steal" going on at ScrapbookSteals.com. If you are new to ScrapbookSteals.com, it's a fun way to get some terrific deals on your favorite scrapbooking supplies and today's steal are these darling Doodlebug Designs Striped Buttons.

For my first card, I used the buttons as blooms on flowers. I love how bright and cheery they are.

I added some little red hearts "raining" from the clouds in the sky. 

For my second card, I wanted to keep things clean and simple. I added the buttons to a fun bicycle and stamped a sweet little bee to make a cheerful card to send to someone who might need a little "lift."
