Focus / Pratical scrappers challenge!





I made this lo for the ps challenge..they want you to use buttons...I don't always think to use buttons on layouts or cards but thought I would give it a try...and I actually had fun doing this one...come check out ps @ http://www.practicalscrappers.com/

I got this done while my dd was at preschool....this was a fast one, haven't had much time to do things for myself lately...so had to take advantage of my time...

I used George for the silhouette circles cut @ 3 1/4" twice (yellow) and then used the inner part of it also...

Used george for the circle cut @ 2 3/4" (blue) used inner part of circle

I then used simply sweet font cart for the title cut @ 1 1/2" "FOCUS"

I used ms flower punch, gel pens to make faux stitches...(love this technique)

I also used different colored buttons around the circles and for the flowers on the bottom of page...

I named this Focus since she was focussing so hard on where she was going...this was the 1st time at her Gram's steep driveway that she had to petal so hard up the hill of it. I hope you all like it...thanks for stopping by...and God bless all!
