I have never considered myself a “Brights” stamper but, with the new Color Renovation at Stampin’ Up, Brights may be my favorite.  Yes, yes…favorite is relative since I do have Seasonal Stamper’s Disorder*.  In any case, today’s card puts the focus on this color group.  My layout today comes from MaryJo’s TechnoStamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge.  The stamp set is one that I keep reaching for…a hostess level 2 set called Apple Blossoms.  The flowers and the little leaves are such fun!  It is also a set that I see using a lot for teacher gifts later on this year.  Talk to your demonstrator about how to earn this level 2 set by hostessing a workshop!!  If you don’t have a demonstrator, I would be happy to help you myself.  The buttons are from the Brights Collection of Designer Buttons.  There are 72, yes 72, buttons in each box (trust me, it is stuffed full) and I don’t feel at all guilty about putting so many buttons on one card.  Take a look at this fun layout:

This card will be perfect for a friend who is visiting later today!  Hope you have a great day and I appreciate you dropping by!
