Designer Dodge Balls? Who knew? My first thought was to actually make a designer dodge ball, but when I saw the tea pot for this week and I had just recently bought a "button" punch, I had to go with this!
This is my very FIRST round card EVER! Not in my comfort zone to say the least! Then, after punching all those buttons, I had to add the thread to all of them! So this card has been sitting on my desk since Sunday! Finally, last night, I got the courage to thread all those buttons and go figure-I would choose a FIBER thread to use, not nearly as easy as linen thread would have been! Oh well, I survived my card ordeal and it is NOTHING when compared to Sandy who is trying her best to SURVIVE Breast Cancer!
I know I am late and I'm supposed to post a memo somewhere, but I don't know where and it's okay, I just wanted to play along this week as Breast Cancer is near and dear to my heart. My little sister is a survivor! 13 years and counting!
Thank you so much for looking!

Your buttons - and the fibre - were well worth the effort! I'm sure you'll make more round cards now you've discovered how fun they can be.
I have a thick-eyed darning needle that I use for threading fibres through buttons - saves on the temper ;-).
