Hey everyone!
I was soooo thrilled that Nikki from Nikki Sivils,Scrapbooker let me take a pack of these darling burlap buttons home! They come in several different colors and are so fantastic!
I used them on the cps card for this week. Paired them with some October Afternoon thrift shop patterned papers and I also used a Fiskars punch that the lovely ladies from Fiskars gave me at CHA... I've never had a border punch before and I was so excited to get one! Thank you again!
