Buttons and Bows Monkey Challenge

Wow a Button and Bows Challenge!! Sounds like so much fun... Right. Then go make a card and join the challenge.

I wanted to use some of my new Paper that I just got "Big Top Birthday".

I was thinking how cute it would be to use buttons for wheels,  like a toy. I just had to make a pinwheel for the elephant. I used a Q-tip for the stick.

What a Cute Little Pig, it made us think of the new Button stamp set.

Challenge goes live 9pm Friday Night. Contest starts Midnight.

I used the Pinwheel paper, cut two of them out and used a brad to put them together.

A Button and a Bow!!

I wanted to share what I do with my DSP when I get it. I get my Catalog out and put the name of the paper and all the colors that are in it on the back with a black permanent ink pen. I also include the date and catalog number. I write it really big, so that at a glance I can see all the info.... and wow it saves a lot of time if you are a Blogger!!!
