a sweet time for picking this weeks FS, Lisa! What with all the Christmas parties, family traditions of sweet stuff, I don't stand a chance...can anyone say DQ peppermint chip blizzard! Myrna, your gallery was new to me and you have created a fine one in this year...if that's what I have to look forward to in retirement, count me in! I had a great time 'walking' through your uploads, but it was blue button tree by mjs 1033 that caught my eye.
I changed up the main color, offset my button tree, and used an embossing folder for the background. It was fun to open my grandmothers' button box and select each button, thinking of where she had kept the metal box...it always thrilled me to get to hold it in my lap. And even now is one of my greatest treasures.
I used three shades of gellatos (silver, grey, and black),
a tiny snippet of vintage velvet ribbon, and a torn edge of a button package, which reads: fancy novel buttons..
Enjoy your week in the SCS spotlight, Myrna and congratulations! Thanks for having a look, and now, I am off for something sweet....
