Now I was cropping with Tara when we brainstormed this idea, and I thought it would be a good one for June for all those masculine Father's Day cards. Little did I know that someone on the design team (not naming any names here!) absolutely hates buttons and thinks they should be reserved only for clothing. Really?! I love using buttons, they are such an easy accent to use, but then again I've been known to sew on my cards and pages too - wonder what
Janet thinks of that (oops, sorry, the name slipped out, heehee!)

I really love how those Prima canvas flowers turned out. I used some Spiced Marmalade Distress Stain and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink to make them all two-toned like that. I know I used a sketch, but it's been so long I wasn't sure which one. I think it's this one here from Sketchabilities:
Wow, I haven't felt this lousy in a long time! My throat feels like I swallowed a dozen razor blades. I'm off to try that numbing spray again, maybe this time I'll aim it properly instead of getting my cheek all numb! Hope you can join us over at
