Cuttlebug Challenges: Provo Craft Countdown Be Inspired #41

For this challenge we had to alter something and add something that we recycled to our project. I came up with a brand new twist. This is
a recipe book designed by my good friend, Diane Tuggle, that I decided needed a few finshing touches. (Make it more personal...yooooou know.) I was about to add a row
of buttons that I have pulled off old cloths, but then...something hit me.
If I use my cuttlebug folder, I can make fake buttons. Now how is
that for recycling!


Never had to use buttons to begin with. Saved glue dots too!
And...I think...it looks just as cute! FLOORED MYSELF! {lOl}

And.. your card doesn't end up weighing a whole lot more and is more "mailable". What a great idea and pretty neat card.

This is just adorable, Ramona! I love how the colors play off one another...kind of a lovely shabby chic effect. And the embossed buttons are perfect. Love the layout too. A very cute creation!

Patty Gorka said...

Very creative! I really like how you made your fake buttons with your cuttlebug folder. As soon as I saw this I thought to myself- I have to get this folder and then it hit me! I just bought this folder this past weekend and I didn't even realize that the buttons were in the package that I bought. I'm glad that I looked.

Holly said...

Darling job! I've looked into a button die for my Big Shot, and this certainly makes me consider it even more!

Grace said...
