Buttons & Banners...

Life may not be the party we hoped for, but while we're here we should dance. -Unknown
Soooo, this week's Woodware USA challenge is Buttons...for some reason I decided to try a new style of card today and well, I am not sure it was a home run. I see so many things right now that I would change, distress All the layers or not distress the blue strip...smaller pennants on my banner...sew a little staighter...sentiment stamped in a different color. Oh well, it is what it is! :)

I do Love the set
Mixed Messages, the sentiment and the flower on the blue strip are both from this set.
