November Element Challenge

[tiffany scraps]

Sorry I am a little late getting this month's challenge posted. Hopefully you were like me and needed a little recovery time after all the DSD fun. Ok here comes a little ramble or a "ditty to buttons" - Button, button, who's got the button? Belly button, button nose, cute as a button, at the push of a button, bachelor's button, buttoned up, buttoned together....

This month's element challenge is BUTTONS! I admit I have always had a fettish for buttons. Even when selling off most of my traditional scrapbook supplies this last summer, I couldn't bring myself to part with my button collection... and it is a big collection. Buttons just make me happy!

Kami designed these fab CU buttons that were in the Back2School Mega kit and if you want to try your hand at coloring them to your liking, you may want to pull it from your stash... what... you don't own it? You can still buy the mega in the Market by clicking here (http://www.scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=16750&cat=293&page=1).

Want to just use buttons that are in a kit? That is ok too. Most kits are generous with buttons and Fruity Freshness by B~Creative (http://www.scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=16865&cat=0&page=1)didn't skimp. I used her kit to create my inspiration layout below. I used 16 buttons on my page.

Here is the RULE - You must have at least 12 buttons on your page and no they do not have to all be different as you can see I used some of mine over again. You don't have to have a button title or theme to the page but if it works... why not. Be sure to post your link here so I can give you some luv. Now get your fingers on the buttons of the keyboard and get creating!

oh oh! I have an idea!
Now to snap the photo and get it done...what a fun challenge Tiffany!

And I agree about the DSD after hangover - got me so dizzy it is taking me a few days to get back in the groove.

[Bec]

cool idea. I've been meaning to challenge myself to a layout full of buttons for a while now. Now I can do this challenge :)

[DigiDandyDesigns]

This sounds like a fun challenge. I have an idea rolling around in my head. Now I just have to see how it will look when I design the page.

Ok, as soon as I seen the word "Button" and I quickly thought of a paper layout I made some time ago that I really liked...so here's a somewhat similar version of it:

Sorry to hear that you are sick. I had already seen this in the gallery and left ya some luv. It is fabulous! Get well.

[DigiDandyDesigns]

This one sort of took on a life of it's own. I started out wanting to do something that looked like a quilt. Then today I saw a french memo board and that inspired me to change up what I was doing.
