Five lucky winners will receive an assortment of buttons from Papertrey Ink!
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!
I love buttons!! I used them in flowers, baby cards, trees, or just as an embellishment!!
Today ismy Anniversary and it would be a great present for me , LOL.
Thanks for the chance to win.

First of all ~ Congratulations ladies, all of your projects are FABULOUS!
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.
Another First of all ~ Buttons! OMG, where to begin? My love of buttons started in my teens (a long long time ago
Oh…buttons make me soooooo happy!!! I love to use them on my cards. They add that extra pop!!!
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”.
Love buttons, esp PTI’s! I use them on LOs and on sewed projects, esp in the middle of yoyos.
I love buttons! I especially like to use them on cards and home decor stuff (pictures, curtains, pillows, holiday decorations, etc.).
I’ll admit…I have a button obsession….use them on everything and collect them like crazy!!! Can’t wait to see the top 10′s creations!
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.
Hmmm, my favorite use for buttons…
I guess it’s for decorating cards as flowers, balloons, that type of thing! They just that extra somethin somethin!
YAHOO!!! I love buttons, and those are such beautiful colors!
I ADORE BUTTONS!! Pick me, pick me!
