   I love to use buttons a lot of different ways on my cards. Sometimes I use them as the center of a flower. Sometimes I line them up in a row in place of ribbon or to cover up a mistake! Thanks for the change at winning some awesome Papertrey Ink buttons!

   What do I like to do with buttons? A better question would be what DON’T I like to do with buttons?! I have always used a lot of buttons, they just seem to be one of those perfect products that adds a bit of charm every time.

   I use them as flower centers, making little faces with the caption Cute as a button under them, the make wonderful coordinating space fillers too.

   I looooove buttons! I add them to the centers of flowers instead of brads and they also end up as borders on my projects. I just can’t get enough of them.

   It’s hard to pick a favorite use for buttons…I use them all different kinds of ways.
   I guess the way I use them the most is usually a bunch of three of more as a cute embellishment all its own.
   I use them in flowers, to highlight other embellishments, etc.

   Love all the entries…I’m getting lots of ideas….I just love the blender card, that’s great!

   First of all ~ Congratulations ladies, all of your projects are FABULOUS!
   Another First of all ~ Buttons! OMG, where to begin? My love of buttons started in my teens (a long long time ago when I started sewing. I liked putting buttons on blouses, dresses, jackets, pillows, curtains –yup, everything. Now I love using buttons on my cards as silk flower centers, or wheels, or animals feet for baby gift cards. Thanks so much for a chance to win.

   I don’t have a particular favorite use for buttons. Sometimes you just need a little extra something, and often times, buttons are it!

    I love using buttons on top of bows! It just adds a little something

    A large button is perfect for using in a Title on a Scrapbook Page or a Card instead of the letter “O” or “E”.

    Congratulations to all the winners! How exciting for all of you! My favorite way to use buttons is for flowers, fill shapes with them or as an accent to pull the whole layout together. I can’t scrap/make cards without them. I love buttons.
