Amanda I just love this I too had an idea of the tree but thought I would punch out circles never thought of using buttons looks fab.

Love the buttons, the colours are excellent; the sun is very cute; handwritten journalling ... wow ... inspiring; cute little flower rubon; stitching looks fab ... especially around the edge of the white cardstock; the title looks very, very good too!!! And I so love the rhinestones ... need to use them more often myself ... I have a fair old wad of them!!!

How cute is that sun?.. I love the cartooniness of it. This layout is so beautifully balanced and finished off with all the subtle little touches... the tear at the bottom of the tree... the little red button... the red stitching... I am in awe of your artistic eye, Amanda. Well done again!

thanks everyone for your lovely comments... it means so much.

I have to say that the button tree was Kelsey's idea. Yesterday Sue came here for a coffee and K was fiddling with my stash (ggrrrrr) and pulled it all together. Sue and i both looked at each other and said 'what a great idea'.

so really it is all her brainwave.

LOVE this Amanda
My half finished layout is sitting on my desk annoying the crap out of me, I just can't get there, might need to rip it apart and start again.

wow amanda this is just gorgeous!
K may have started the tree, but it is still an amandaish LO.
looks like K has inherited your talent!

Whatever,whoever...it still looks great! love everything about it.
