Hopping with Buttons!


This week's sponsors:
Winner's Choice of 5 Digital Stamps
$10 Gift Certificate
Winner's Choice of 5 Digital Images

Buttons, buttons, who's got the buttons? I'm pretty sure we all have buttons and most of us use them in our paper crafting quite often. So this week's DYSU challenge should be fun for one and all! Be sure to link us up to your creations over at DYSU to have a chance to win one of the wonderful prizes offered by our generous sponsors! I can't wait to see what you create!

We are combining this challenge with a blog hop in honor of our talented departing DYSU design team member Meredith. We will certainly miss her personally and creatively. Wishing you all the best Meredith!

If you've arrived here from the DYSU blog, here is a complete list of the blog hop participants. You may want to start at the beginning so you don't miss anything!


If you've arrived here from the lovely and talented Marcy's blog, welcome to the next stop along the hop! Wasn't her bright and fun card amazing?! She always has had a way with color! 

I chose to use a sewing theme for my card. I used patterned papers papers from the DCWV "Crafty" paper pack. I used a pinking edge die, some floss around the spool of thread and a cute little pun for the sentiment. Finished it off with the tiniest buttons I had in my stash and some faux stitching.


Hop on over to my favorite calligrapher, Pandy, to see the lovely button creation she has waiting for you! Pandy creates her own sentiments with her gorgeous calligraphy, which adds that beautiful something special to her creations. You will love the sentiment she created for her card! Have fun!
