Today is the first challenge of 2010 over at Practical Scrappers! We are excited about this upcoming year, we have LOTS of FUN things planned, you'll have to stay tuned in as not to miss out on any of the fun.
Our challenge this week is to use buttons on your layout, card, or project. I wanted to alter a cd case for the Little Kids' Christmas photos. It was really easy.
I used the jacket inside as a template for my Bazzill cs. I painted the little snowflakes with a paint pen, paper pieced my snowman, embossed using the swiss dots folder, printed the title and cut with my coluzzle. The date is some yummy glitter stickers from the Robin's Nest. I added just a few ribbons for some more yum factor. Then to bring in the buttons, I wanted them to appear to be snow falling, so I used teeny white buttons and mini glue dots to attach them. His rosy cheeks are also buttons.
I LOVE how this turned out! My DT sisters have some more inspiration for you here. If you visit Practical Scrappers each day, you will see different designers showcasing the current challenge...oh and the inspiration you'll find while there! So, let's see your buttons!
Blessings,
