Whiff of Joy Challenge- Buttons and Bows

3:00 AM | Posted by Chris Olsen, Glowbug | | Edit Post

Hi all!! I hope you are all enjoying a beautiful week!! Is anyone having problems posting on blogger. Boy am I struggling with posting and editing or even commenting!!! Grrr! I write up posts and they publish rather than schedule or save as drafts. Some of you may have seen my preview last night since while I was writing this post it decided to publish.
Sorry!! I removed it right away but it still shows in the reader and on the sidebar. Oops!!

Today I am popping in to share the new Whiff of Joy Challenge. This week's challenge is fun and easy!!

Bows and Buttons!!!!

For my creation I used the adorable Willow kneeling which I colored with copics. The designer paper is My Mind's Eye. The white flower is hand crocheted and has a button in the middle from my stash.

For more inspiration for the Whiff Of Joy Challenge, please visit my dt sisters: Jane, Kathrin, Kylie, Louise, Manuela. Michele To join our challenge, please link your creation here.
