Paper Pretties Monday Whatnots -- in a "league" of our own!

2nd post today...please scroll down for my Woodware USA post!

This cute little guy is the latest release from ARTish for Paper Pretties, and he is called Alley Gator!! My sister's boyfriend owns a bowling alley, so when I told her about this particular image, she was so excited! I believe I know who will be the recipient of this card! Our challenge this week was to use buttons on our project, and I immediately knew that I had to have black buttons that looked as close to bowling balls as I could! It's amazing how much I had to dig to find two black buttons that matched!

Anywho...here is my project for today! I'm quite pleased with how the layout turned out and the paper is from Stampin' Up (Riding Hood Red, Early Espresso, Chocolate Chip, and Bella Rose DSP). I used my Nestabilities to cut the circle and scalloped circle and Stampin' Up punches to highlight the sentiment. The ribbon is also from Stampin' Up. The image is colored with Copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by today...enjoy the rest of your Monday!
