..some BUTTONS!
For other details, to see other wonderful creations, AND to enter your own, check out the Simon Says Stamp and Show Blog!
I have a gazillion buttons. A million from one Gram, another million from the other Gram, several hundred thousand from Mom, and never mind the ones that have been saved from numerous shirts and sweaters, just IN CASE you might need one. So, when I saw the challenge was buttons, ding ding ding, opportunity to use some of them up. I decided to go with a layer of buttons for the "roof" of my bird house.
The birdhouse is sitting on a base made using the Art Parts Spool, covered with Paddington Paper by 7 Gypsies. A LOT of flowers were cut from grungepaper and regular cardstock using the Tattered Florals die. I decided I needed a bird for the bird house, (what did you think I would put on there? Ok, I know, with me, you never know...lol), so I cut a bird from grungeboard using the Caged Bird die .

| I cut a grungeboard bird, also covered with Paddington paper, and adhered him to the perch, but he's hard to see against the busy paper background here in the pic, he's a little more visible in real life. You'll have to trust me on that one. lol. |

Lori, this is absolutely amazing! Your black and white theme with the deep red flower is gorgeous!
I love the imagery you chose ... and those buttons ... those buttons have been *waiting* for this art-filled house!
I think this is fab - one of the best pieces you've done. Love the deep red against the black and white. So much to look at. Awesome, just awesome.
Beautiful! I wish I had an up close & personal look!
Fabulous bird house Lori and such a beautiful flower which really enhances it. Hope you had a lovely Easter, Annette x
Wow, love this Lori. Funny, because my granddaughter was here and inspired me to alter a birdhouse and I used lots of buttons on it so will probably use that as my entry. Mine is nothing compared to yours, just cutesy.
Absolutely delightful Lori, Love the striking red rose :D
It's super fantastic, Lori! Just an outstanding work of ART featuring what must be part of the best button collection around! Diann

I never would have thought to use black and white for a birdhouse, but I am positively drooling over this one! Absolutely love all the wonderful hand made flowers and the music score paper. The buttons on the roof and the one red flower are the ultimate finishing touches!
Hugs,
Linda
Lori - this is beautiful! I love the black and white color scheme with the pop of read and all your flowers are fabulous!
Fantastically creative birdhouse, Lori! This is gorgeous! Love the colors; your flourishes and flowers are beautiful and the buttons are a perfect embellishment! :)
This birdhouse and bird are striking! I love the strong effect of the black and white with that jolt of red from the rose. Beautiful and lovely way to use your button stash.
Sooooo stinkin' cute! Love it!
Wow!! just fabulous! I love the birdhouse and it looks stunning in those papers. Haven't got hold of the Art Parts yet, not quite sure what you do with them.
This is a fabulous creation Lori! Love the touch of red! x
Love the way you used buttons for your "shingles." Very clever! (Don't know where you are finding the time to creative these amazing things:)
Lori, this monochrome bird house is utterly divine, the splash of red is striking and oooo at all your buttons adorning the roof, fabulous DT piece:)
Gorgeous house!! I love the dark red rose at the bottom!! ;)
