The challenge this week was to use buttons on your card. I made a very simple card since I'm a little crazy this week. I am starting back to work in the Health Benefits field after a 7 month break. During the "break" my sister and I bought the Scrapbook Cafe, our local scrapbook store that was about to close, so I have been really busy with that. But since I was offered a job with a pension and benefits in the same career field I was previously in, I couldn't turn it down. My sister is going to pick up the slack at the shop and I will be there as much as I can.
I am trying to stay positive about this new chapter in my life, but I have to say I am not overly excited about it. Considering, the economy I have to realize I am so lucky to have this opportunity so I am keeping my chin up!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the {ippity} hop and thanks for stopping by!
Supplies used: Ippity Straight From the Heart stamp set, Memory Box papers, Memento ink, Prima and Making Memories flowers, MME button.

beautiful card!! I hope you are very successful with the store and if you don't love your job you can count on that for income instead of the real job!! LOL I had a store for 81/2 years now I have the real job - but I do love it so it's all good.
Your card is very pretty.
I know a new job is always stressful, and you're right - it will leave you tired and wishing you didn't have to. However, you have a greater chance to share your talent and your passion! Kudos to you!!
