I decided to make a card featuring some fabulous chipboard buttons that I was lucky enough to be sent to play with by the lovely Michelle Jamieson of Chelley Bean Designs.

The buttons are such a great size to work with and made perfect centres for these Maya Road Kraft Doilies {which I adore} and the rest of the card just seemed to come together after that :)

You can check out these buttons and all the other gorgeous handmade goodies over at Michelle's Etsy store.
Have a great weekend

I cut out several baubles and trees from my wrapping paper and teamed them up with papers and the transparency birdies from the Flirty range and although this is not a Christmas range I think the colours worked well. I also added a strip of shimmery paper from the Holiday Magic range and used Double Dot chipboard alphas for my title and finished it off with a couple of All Stuck up Buttons. Here's some of the details:

Our little peanut has been quite a handful but his reflux seems to be settling so hope to get stuck into some scrapping sometime soon. 
but I didn't stop there, and also created a layout inspired by the little house in my journal page
I'm really liking bright colours at the moment and was happy to use up lots of bits and pieces from my stash of scraps :)
All has been going well, that is if you don't count the swelling, the pain in my ribs or the constant fatigue... but these are a small price to pay for what is to come! I have been getting lots of braxton hicks false contractions this week and actually thought I was going into labour at one stage, but it looks like bub is staying put for now so I guess I will have to be patient... although I've got the bags packed and am ready to go lol ;)
Now to get onto those

and have also made another card... as you can see I am still going through a bird phase LOL
Thanks for stopping by!

it's a bit hard to see in the photo, but the whole thing is very glittery and sparkly and although I'm not exactly sure what birds have to do with Christmas, that's what's been inspiring me lately ;)
and while shopping the other day I came across these adorable love birds at Bed, Bath and Table and added a couple of branches and berries to make it more festive for a simple centrepiece.
Our tree is up but I need some better light to get some pics, oh and we have half our outdoor lights up too.... so will get onto Matt to get the rest up this weekend!
