Buttons Galore Teams Up with Sharpie for Weddings!

Hello all!  Buttons Galore and More has teamed up with Sharpie to bring you a ton of ideas for WEDDINGS!  *sigh*

Supplies:

Button Bonanza bag in Pink

Sharpie Oil-based Paint Marker

Craft supply polished river rocks

My project would make a sweet table centerpiece.  A simple white tray holds buttons in the wedding color (in the case, pink) and nestled among the buttons are river rocks with words written on them to spell out lyrics to familiar love songs.  Simple, easy and oh so sweet!

You could also challenge your guests to sorting and building the lyrics themselves while they wait for newlyweds to finish taking photos, etc.  A centerpiece with rocks and buttons is so satisfyingly tactile and fun for all ages.  You could even ask your guests to write a one word wish for the newlyweds for them to take home as a keepsake.  The possibilities are endless. 

Great for a garden-themed wedding too!

Oil-based paint markers are perfect for writing on slick surfaces and durable too!  I hope you have enjoyed this project.  For more great wedding ideas with buttons and Sharpies, please visit the Buttons Galore and More blog for links to all of the designers participating.  Thanks for stopping by!

How to make a candy gram card....perfect for Dad!

Hey there!  I have a fun post for Father's Day...happy Father's Day to all the daddies out there!  Today with the help of Sharpies Fine tip markers, a poster board, my computer and a bunch of sweet treats, my girls and I have a fun candy-gram card to celebrate Father's Day.

We picked up a variety of different candies and made up a message to incorporate the names of the candies within our card.  The card is made up of a blue poster board from the dollar store and we used computer generated text with details hand drawn with Sharpies.  I attached the candies using my craft adhesive from Scotch ATG.  This project was super fun and would be great for graduations, valentines, birthday parties, etc.  How cool would this candy-gram be with a gift card to the local movie theater attached or a DVD for the ultimate at home movie night?   

We had a lot of giggles coming up with this gift including choosing a candy to represent the girls....we opted for "sour patch kids"!  "Sugar Babies" would have been cute too. Be sure to search "candy gram" on Pinterest and you will find all kinds of fun ideas on ways to use candy to create these cards. 

I hope you had a fun weekend and thanks for stopping by!
