    Blog hops abound!  I'm here with another dream team, match made in crafty heaven....Buttons Galore and More and My Favorite Things!


    Today I crafted up a fun way to wish someone a sweet birthday!  This Button and glitter covered cupcake has a styrofoam ball base set in a paper cupcake liner and adhered to a small wood candlestick as a base.


    Birthdays are all about seizing the moment...and even possibly, the CUPCAKE ...and celebrating the birthday of all those special people in your life.


    Check out that amazing paper daisy!  I was able to make that myself using the Die-namics Rolled Daisy from MFT.  Super cute right?  Especially topped with a BGM button!

    My Favorite Things has teamed up with Buttons Galore & More to do a Blog Hop showcasing products from both companies! You’ll want to leave a comment on EACH designer’s blog because there is $100 in prizes up for grabs. MFT will be giving away 2, $25 Gift Certificates, and Buttons Galore & More will be giving away 2, $25 button assortments.
