Happy National Card Making Day! A Flair For Buttons Blog Hop

Hello there.
Welcome to the A Flair For Buttons Design Team blog hop on National Card making day!

I love flair pins! Shelley's designs have great variety and fit any card or scrap style.

 I tend to make cards that have a large dollop of "deconstructed" style whimsy. 
Things I LOVE:
birds in flight, neon colors, black thread and (naturally) flair pins.
This set is Sunburst on white.
I also tend to make cards with lots of fussy cutting and layering.
MORE things I love:
Pop dots, graphic patterns and hand-drawn
designs like this one from Amy Tangerine for American Crafts.
This is the Smash Phrases Flair set (one of my all time favorites)
Leave a comment {before midnight CST monday oct 8th} for a chance to win this set of flair from the A Flair for Buttons Etsy shop!!
LOVE the black/white/red color palette and I'm a news junkie so this set is awesome.
In The News 1 flair set
I invite you to swing by all the participating blogs; each member has a favorite set to give away.

Here is the blog hop order:
Michelle Hernandez here you are- YAAAYYY!!
Danielle Flanders (guest designer)
Melissa Phillips (guest designer)


Thank you for stopping by!
