weekly challenge

This week's challenge comes straight from our July guest's ELMWOOD PARK gallery - check out this lovely layout by Shimelle Laine : 

This page is packed with pretty details, but I was drawn to how Shimelle created a cluster of buttons and banners. The round buttons and the graphic banners work perfectly together - so for this week's challenge, I want you to try it on your own pages!

(By the way, if you want more awesome ELMWOOD PARK inspiration from Shimelle, stop by her blog - she's been sharing videos with her kit work!)

Link your buttons and banners project here by July 16th (and be sure to link us to your inspiration piece!) for a chance to win a $5 gift card to the Studio Calico Shop. We can't wait to see what you make!

I was super inspired by Shimelle this week, love all of the buttons she used in this layout.

Here is my layout, using Heyday and a lot of miscellaneous buttons from My Minds Eye and other random ones.
