I have several friends in need of a lift -this verse (Our Daily Bread birthday set) is a good encouragement for all of us. I tend to forget how much I like the effect of sponging with chalk. This DP has been in my collection for a while, and the cover is separated so I am not sure of the origin. I die cut buttons from one of the matching papers that has dots. I backed them with Kraft cut from the next larger button - that is about as much sewing as I do!!! All the mats are Kraft, and I added a bit of lace trim. The buttons are popped up. I used some shiny twine - I like it but it does not want to tie as it is quite stiff. So I distressed it with scissors - just like I would use scissors to curl paper ribbon. Worked like a charm!

My chalks have been much neglected. Love what you did with them. I like the matching buttons - one of the fun things about making your own. Thank you for entering your lovely card in the Kraft Journal Challenge.
Very pretty card! I love how you made the buttons. Thank you for joining us at Love to Scrap. Linda dt :)
I haven't used chalks for ages so it's good to see them being used here, I like the buttons, layout and lace trim. Thanks for joining in with the Sisters of Craft Challenge, good luck and best wishes, Anne DT.
How perfectly sweet, Dorothy. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talents with us.
