Red and Turquoise Bouquet

Red and turquoise are supposed to be the colors of 2010.  I thought I would join in the trend and make a red, black, and turquoise bouquet. 

This nine flower bouquet is available for purchase at The Rustic Corner in Charles City, Iowa for $39.95 and includes the vase!   What a deal!

Button Organization

This is how I had my buttons organized.  Every time I needed to get out a certain color I had to dump out all the buttons.  Not efficient!

So on Friday I got a plain wooden box from Hobby Lobby and tweaked it.

I painted the inside black.  Then I Modge Podged some pretty pink and green paisley scrapbook paper on the top and sides of the box.  I cut out "Buttons" on the Cricut and shadowed the paisley paper with green and pick cardstock.

Here's how it turned out!

 

It works perfectly!  Now I can reach in and grab a button in a snap!
