This is the card I made for a Monday challenge with a small group of SCS friends. This is my story!
1. I think it is a wonderful challenge....probably because I am the one that came up with the idea. Yikes!
2. Make a card with 18 PINK AND YELLOW buttons! Holy buttons, you should have heard the whining that went on about using 18 buttons! You'd a thunk I asked them to make a card with 18 18 carat diamonds!
3. These buttons are big, the size of a dime so this card weights a ton but hey....this won't be the first time or the last time I make a heavy card!
4. We gotta figure out a better way of communicating....those other girls never get their memos about last minute challenge changes!

It's beautifully watercolored, and I'm so impressed how perfectly aligned your buttons are, if those are, in fact, *real* buttons! Hee! This is so soft and lovely and beautiful, Cindy!

Wow!! Your card is awesome with all those pink and yellow buttons. I love the frame!! Beautiful watercoloring too. Guess I didn't get the memo either....cause I don't have any pink or yellow buttons on mine. HMPH!!!

You know, I think you are really onto something with buttons, Cindy!! I was just reading the March issue of PaperCrafts, and I tell you Cindy - buttons are the new ( old ) big thing, along with birds and boughs!!! Mothermark - the trendsetter!!! Kudos to you ! Love your card, by the way!

K, I think that using 18 buttons on a single card would be quite the challenge...I'd have a hard time using 18 brads on a single card and they're a lot smaller. And I think that the button brads still count as buttons!!!
