More buttons!!!

I usually like most of the cards that I make, but there are some that I REALLY like and this one today is one of those! I have used 'Alfonzo' one of SJ's (Crafty Musings) past freebie images, isn't he great? Don't I say that about all of SJ's images though!?! I have followed the new and to be used many times sketch from Sketch and Stash, with paper from my 'Big one' pad, I forget the make, some glitter paper from one of my scrapbook packs from Poundland and a few buttons from my Skeggy stash which means I can also enter the Cupcake Crafts challenge which is 'buttons'! I would also like to enter this card for the Cute Card Thursday 'boys to men' challenge.

For my second card I have followed the Pollycraft sketch and used a past freebie image also from pollycraft. Instead of colouring the image I decided to paper piece it by printing out the image onto a sheet of green paper as well as on white, simply cut around the green image and stuck in on top, I added the die-cut holographic balloon, well, just because I could! lol! This also fits the current Secret Crafter recipe challenge of using '3 embellies (ribbon, button, balloon),2 papers, 1 image'.Both cards also qualify for the Simon Says Stamp 'birthdays/celebrations' challenge.
