Buttons and Bits

Hello everyone ... 

It's time for a new challenge at Papercraft Star and this week our challenge to you is Buttons ...
Who doesn't love buttons ... and if you're like me ... you have a ton of them!


My card this week uses all bits and pieces from my scrap box ... with the exception of the buttons


A piece of DP by Eline's Huis was the base for this and the left over negative die framed it so well ...


... a scrap of burlap ... a star left over from a Christmas project and a single fern ... and the little piece of tape which I cut into a fish tail ... is some I made a while ago ...


I would love to say that the contents of my scrap box is going down a little ... but I've hardly made a dent in it! It does however push my creativity and surprises me when something comes together from a handful of scraps ...

And your creativity is what we want to see at Papercraft Star this week ... All you have to do is use some buttons on your project ... so wont you join us?
If you're looking for more inspiration ... hop over to the blog to check out the lovely creations from the rest of the team ...

Till soon ... take care

~ Ros ~

Buttons !!!! One of my favourite embellishments. Beautiful card, I love how you've used the negative diecut. I always throw mine away, lesson learnt, I'll keep them in future. Have you had more snow today ? It's coming down again here, stay warm. Deb x

This is another stunning arrangement and beautiful colour combination. I have a tray that is overflowing with scrap bits and bobs - time to get using them!

Another great one! I don't use buttons enough, I think... And you really set high standards when it comes to using your bits box...
