Melanie's card and gift

This is Melanie's card that had a slight preview when I posted Katherine's last week. The centers of the larger flowers are made with glass buttons. The smaller ones are flower shaped plastic buttons. The glass buttons came from my button jar that has been added to from various "contributors". I beleive they were originally from Momma Kate's collection and maybe some of Mom's. The little "baby" buttons on the Happy Birthday and other phrase strips are "leftovers" from the baby shower invitations for Maggi/Caleb's shower.






This is Melanie's gift. It is a "Memory Book". This was made from one of those many AOL free sign up containers that we constantly get in the mail! I covered it front, back and sides with coordinated papers. The insides will be in the next post....since I can only add 5 pics at a time.
