Sweet Buttons

I'm having a day at home with the boys today whilst hubby is getting some weekend work in. We spent the morning in the garden, mainly playing with the water table Blake's Grandparents got him for his birthday. After a substantial soaking I'd had enough and in we came. Whilst the boys had their lunch, I nipped up to the room of craft to make a card for the challenge this week at Less is More. I went for the 'buttons' option:

I've used Crumb Cake Card teamed with Pink Pirouette, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink and created my buttons using the Big Shot Sweet Buttons Embosslits die. I love it as it cuts six buttons and embossed them at the same time. My sentiment is from Bundle of Love. It was the reason I bought the set as I just think it's the most adorable baby sentiment I've ever seen. I stamped it in VersaMark ink and heat set with White Embossing powder.

I stuck my buttons in a rough line and then used the pricking tool and mat pack to create a straight, even line of holes and then drew my stitching with the White gel Pen. I decided to add a little pink to the hearts under the sentiment too.

I shared a photo of Blake with  you the other day as he was trying so hard to go back to sleep after I'd woken him up at 8am in the morning to get him dressed and ready to come to school with Zac. Well sleeping seems to be his thing this week, firstly I popped in the kitchen to do a spot of work and it went very quiet in the lounge. I stuck my head around the door to find him here:

 

Totally crashed out bless him. I managed to scoop him up and pop a mat and a blanket under him without waking him up:

 

The following day he fell asleep half way through eating his lunch! Right, I had better go and get back to the boys. Zac has managed to work the sky remote and they're both watching a Disney film.
