Did you all see the Dirty Dozen Gallery today?! A lot of rockin� samples, that�s for sure. Every month the 15th seems to come quicker and quicker. It�s always a thrill to see what the girls have done.
~ Paper Buttons ~
Just a few days ago, Lynn Pratt (lpratt) posted a fabulous tutorial here in the resources section on making paper buttons. Buttons are really popular right now! Making them yourself you can have them in any color and shape! I�ve made round ones, square ones, heart shaped and star shaped. I like the idea of adding a clear glaze such as Crystal Effects to them! Take a look at her TUTORIAL and let your imagination fly!

Great technique, Holly....and wonderful tutorial, Lynn. The possibilities are endless. With all the dies and punches out there, this will be so fun. Thanks!!
I remember when we did this before that I was so impatient waiting for my buttons to dry. Versamark and UTEE work great for those who are impatient like me.
Loved this challenge! Thanks for the inspiration. My challenge was waiting for the danged thing to dry. I see more of these in my future for sure. Thanks, Lynn, for the fab-tutorial.
I have a question, does it have to be a card that we make and use the button? I have really gotten into making ATC's that's why I'm asking. If it needs to be a card, that's totally ok, I just wanted to ask before I started. Thanks!

Make whatever you like . We have no rules!! I think a button on an ATC would be totally adorable!
Great challenge but it takes patience to let the CE dry (ask me how I know!). LOL. MY CARD

WhoooHoo...my triple challenge paper button card. Thanks Lynn for an awsome tutorial and Holly for a great challenge. My head is spinning with more button ideas :p
Hi guys, Haven't been here for awhile. My supplies are still in crates while our house is up for sale but I had the stuff for this challenge available. I loved doing this. Here is my card "Buttons and Bows".
Cheers,
