This week is a rerun week all the way back to Wt11 Buttons! I thought we would redo this challenge as I totally missed it the first time around. My good friend Beth posted it for me 19 months ago while I was in the hospital with my little Joshua.
So this week, pull out those buttons and find ways to use them. I love buttons for embellishing and they are so fun and easy to use. If you don't have any craft buttons, raid your cupboard. Everyone has extra buttons from garments they have purchased.
Please remember to put WT93 in your keywords section and post a link back here. You have all week or even longer to complete this challenge. I hope you will have some time to relax and play along. I will try and squeeze it in this morning too. It has been hard to get much stamping done with five kids in the house this week.
I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a great New Year's!
I got some buttons a while ago and have never used them. Guess I'll have to do that today. Besides, being a sewer, I've got bunches of regular buttons. Some real OLD ones. See what I can come up with.

Great challenge Julia!!!!! We are leaving soon for a trip to Grandma and Grandpa's house (round 2 of Christmas for my boys!) so I can think up something along the way (better write it down though so I don't forget!!!).
I was just looking at my buttons last night saying I have to use them sometime soon........Thanks for the push Julia! Can't wait to play. I'm off today Bonnie! :-)

I have NEVER used buttons before on a card!! Ok....after I feed the kiddos breakfast...I am GOING to do this!!! Thanks for the challenge to try something new!!
If you have no buttons, you can use the various circle punches, then take the paper piercer and pierce 2 or 4 holes in your paper button! leave as is or thread linen thread through the holes.

I lOVE this, Michelle! I did this a while back but then I covered it w/ clear embossing powder, UTEE to make it shiny and coated!! Or you could cover it w/ CE!! Also, this makes faux buttons flatter to mail!!

This truely is a challenge cause I'm a hoarder and have probably had these buttons in my drawer since the 1st challenge was posted! What fun and a good kick in the butt to get me to use my precious supplies.
I'm still celebrating with visiting friends from 600 miles away. Here's a redo for me. Hoefully I'll have time tonight to do another. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
This is a great challenge. I have sooooo many buttons and I think that I've only used them once or twice on cards. Hopefully I will have time to play later today!
