Eat, sleep, fish

I'm posting late today I was out shoveling snow! I love snow, shoveling not so much. This is the last of the challenges I'm doing on stamp tv and it was to add a button to a bow. My "bow" is made with twine but it still was a bow, lol! My Dad brought over some buttons he had taken off of old shirts so I got "new" buttons, sweet. After I added the button I also had to tape it down. Because its so large and my ribbon is narrow it flopped, looked hideous actually! I put a dimensional square on each side of the button to stabilize it, looks much better. I used the set from Gina K which has a lovely lake trout and even my husband said I coloured it great. Now that's a compliment. I've also entered this into Paper Sundaes, which is to use something new, Totally Stampalicious which is to recycle something (the button) and Tip Top Tuesday which is to embellish.
