Wow this week has been a bit crazy! My children are all back to school. We thrive with a somewhat flexable routine. The mornings are a bit busier than summertime mornings but everyone seems to be reajusting to school again. This makes me very happy!
Just Because Buttons
This card is a simple card that uses a few scrap peices of designer paper. I absolutely love creating cards and scrap pages that use up all the bits and pieces of designer papers or ribbons that I just can not part with. With the additon of a simple greeting the card just came together. I hope that you enjoy ths creation.

Amazing simple and pretty design., The colours make it
I love projects that can use up precious scraps and look like they were made from a complete craft room full of supplies. Oh, wait — most of our craft rooms are full of scraps! Anyway, I love scrap projects. The DSP is de-lish. The simplicity of the 2nd card is also lovely. Nice work, as always, Tracy.
Tracy, gorgeous cards. Great use for scrap pieces.
I LOVE buttons so really enjoyed this post.
Cards that use up scraps are great. I have a box of scraps and love ideas that help me make use of them. Thank you for the inspiration.
Very pretty–I like your use of zipper trim.
So this is what you do with all your old sewing supplies that you’ll never use. I have a bunch. Too cute!
