I used one of the rosette boxes SU! used to carry for this. I just stamped a bunch of images from the Vintage Circus plate and rummaged around in my stamp room for some ephemera. I worked on each panel individually while trying to wind up with a cohesive finished product. Of course I added lots of Magenta Stickles for some bling. The gorgeous ribbon is by Basic Gray. Those of you who are ribbon afficianados probably already know that!! I put a making memories rub-on right on it, it worked beautifully.The Crush cap I probably found in a parking lot somewhere. I'm always picking up rubble in parking lots. I think I recently embarrassed a girlfriend half to death by actually prying a button out of the asphault on our way out of a craft fair. I had to get a pen out of my purse to dig it out, and I regret it not one single bit! It's a fab button, and I'd pry it up again if I had to do it over! so now you know!!
