Mother's Day can be so tough
and bring such mixed emotion for so many. So instead of going for Mother's Day this
close to the holiday, I thought we should encompass all things B.

That means, if you use Brads, Bling, Buttons, Babies, Bears, Bees, Butterflies ...... well you get the point, then enter this dare. The beauty of this is that if you are celebrating being a Mom, your mom or a mom you admire, you can still bring these creations and celebrations to this challenge.
Because let's face it, if you are a Mom, its definitely the most underpaid, highest value job. Especially if you had to raise me or my brother!

To kick us off is mom who raised 3 boys of her own. I'm sure she's had her fair share of adventures!

Are you ready for the next Emerald Creek Supplies Dare Challenge!!!
WELL...
IT IS ALL BUTTONS, BRADS, BUCKLES AND BABIES!!!
I created a fun "Celebrate" card using a fun Flower Brad and Buckle from the Emerald Creek store
along with the World Fair paper collection from Graphic 45.

I love this gorgeous vintage photograph of a knife thrower's assistant! She must indeed have been fearless! Women looked so much more feminine and soft back then, didn't they?
The background for my card was done using Alcohol inks on Yupo paper.

It's all about Babies, Brads, Buttons and Buckles for this weeks challenge! For this challenge, I've altered a mini clipboard to create a beautiful vintage baby girl home decor piece, perfect to add to a baby girls room.

Bringing on the B's! Buttons, brads and buckles, or better yet...button brads!! some of my favorite things from the Emerald Creek line. For this challenge I used two 5X5 canvasses glued together and my new addiction, Distress Crazing Medium!! I love the look it gives.
