I decided to cut an aperture into my card and then frame it using my nestability scalloped circle with the middle cut out from it.
I love the die cut "fake" button,looks very realistic,I just added a little stickles to the centres of the flowers.

I was going to share a photo of my lovely pick n mix buttons that I bought on Friday,however,I cleared my memory card this morning forgetting that I hadn't uploaded the photos! Oh well,I'll just have to go back next week and treat myself to some more :)
I used a simple layout,but sometimes that's just all you need. I used good old Martha Stewart to punch my border,keeping the tiny punched daisies and gluing them back onto the border at a different angle and adding a spot of stickles,I gives a nice look as the flowers have to take on dimension.I also punched a circle from the gingham,shaped it and used a thick glue dot to stick it over the centre of my button.
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
So I measured up the original front cover but only up to the spiral and then cut some thick card one eighth of an inch wider, then using a scalloped nestability die I removed a small segment from the top middle section,This is the inside of the cover. I then cut another front in green bazil and punched a hole at each top corner to thread ribbon through. At this point I wish that I'd thought to add some eyelets but I didn't think about this until I'd already put the front together.
Once the front was decorated I threaded some ribbon across the front passing the ends through and leaving them long enough to thread through the spiral and tie with a bow. To assemble the cover I used some strong narrow double sided tape close to the edge of the three sides leaving the scalloped cut edge open. I trimmed the original cover down slightly by about 1 cm on each of the three edges then slid it into the new cover. The ribbon was then passed through the spiral and pulled out to the front near the middle passing it over the middle wire and tying it with a bow.

A real simple card from me this week,I got myself in a bit of a panic when I realised I'd forgotten to make my DT card. What a result though,I still had several images left on the Nitwits topper sheet,(you can check out the other cards made from the sheet on my last 2 posts.) Honestly at only £1.66 a sheet,there's loads of creative possibilities,I mean,I've made 3 cards already and there's still more images to play with,they are fab for a quick card when you've no time to colour.
The flourishes are a revolution die,cut on the Cuttlebug and the sentiment is computer generated.
Hope you join in with the challenge this week,
I hope that you can see what I mean as I've taken loads of photos so that you can get the gist of it. I cut some other circles adding a pretty pearly paper on which to write
I finished the bottom edge with a fake button from the same topper sheet and a bow,this also acts as a stop for the easel.
I added ribbon and buttons to the centres of the flowers,
and other images and wording from the sheet.
