This month the challenge at Stamp A Memory is to use buttons as the main embellishment. Now, I'm an embellishment hoarder, as I'm sure many of you are, so this challenge was perfect as a push for me to start digging into that stash of buttons hiding in my drawer.
I took the photo on Rob's mobile phone when we were away visiting family a couple of weeks ago. I just happened to 'catch' Ada and her cousin Zoe lying on Zoe's bed reading a book together. Both girls love reading, so I used a stamp I purchased at Convention as a little subtitle. I only used part of the image, but the part I used reads: Share what you love. I thought it was the perfect little touch for the layout. I used the flap section of a Scallop Envelope to stamp it on.
The button card stamp from the Sew Suite set was the perfect compliment to the challenge. I used one a a button card and the other 2 as journalling spots.
I hope you're inspired to enter the June Challenge. Why don't you pop on over to the Stamp A Memory blog to see what the other girls have come up with? I'm sure it will be a feast for your eyes!
