I hope that the fact that my buttons have a few colours is okay for the CAS50 challenge. This is the FIRST card I've been able to make since fracturing my wrist- and foot - back in October 2009.
As it happened, Teal is one of my mom's favourite colours, and she'd requested buttons on a card for her birthday. So I already had this card made today - and it seemed to fit the CAS challenge.
A note to Benzi and Pam124.... Benzi - thanks so much for the wonderful full size sewing machine that you sent me through the mail! It's just fabulous!! I just put my buttons on the automatic setting of that fancy new fullsize sewing machinen that you sent me! Why Pam aka Fruitcake could not use the very same operational sewing machine that you sent her - we can only blame on Fruitcake's 1-2 digit IQ. So sad, Fruitcake! ahhh!
Teal buttons from SU, other buttons from Papertrey, stamped and sponged in SU teal and SU old olive. The white little white bit was an afterthought created by square nesties!
Thanks for looking , and I'll be back tommorow to comment more!

I had no idea when you were leaving all these comments that you were not stamping yourself, due to some injuries. I am so glad to know that you have been able to jump back in with the sweetest little card. I love your buttons and the soft scene you created. Take care and get your stamping muscles back.

Debzi!!! You're back!!! You have indeed been missed - and what a stunner comeback card. Lucky Mom you have! Her own little button garden created especially by the Defective-Detective-Capn-Canada-Yakky-Viking-Deb! I applaud you for keeping so active around here while so busted up! Judging by the activity on this little beauty (even dear sweet Anne Ryan keeps coming back and being kind to you), you have been missed by many around here! Love the stitched buttons! That's some machine Benzi sent you! At least dear Fruitflake has her machine up and running now even though she hasn't figured out how to thread it yet... Great addition to your gallery - again, welcome back!
