Craft Challenge: Buttons

Hello friends, May is just hopping along so quickly, it's already time for our 3rd challenge of the month! Today we're heading to the craft closet and pulling out a favorite art supply, BUTTONS!

 

Let's see how the DT has put this crafty supply to good use on their layouts: 
 

Karen

Devra

Doreen

Rita

 

Tanti

(Guest Designer)

Renee 

(Guest Designer) 

I covered the background in buttons and used texture paste over the top to hold them on then sprayed and stamped over the top!

Jane
(Guest Designer)

Button, Button, who's got the button? We hope YOU do and you'll share your creation with us!! However you're inspired, we want to see it! Link up with us by May 31st for a chance to be a guest designer with us in July. Can't wait to see your creations!

Storybook Challenge: The Lorax

Time for our 2nd challenge for May! Today we're getting inspired by a classic storybook, perfect for this time of year, The Lorax! 

Let's see how the DT has been inspired:

CHAS

JULENE

Ashley

I used the colors from the book cover.

Sandra

Jane
(Guest Designer)

I went the Dr Seuss route with this and told the story of a less than successful trip to the movies.

Now it's your turn, how will The Lorax tell his story in your layout? Maybe you'll have a Lorax or tree-themed page like Chas and Julene, or you'll go with Dr. Seuss like Jane, or pull from the colors and jumbo circles like Ashley and Sandra. However you're inspired, we want to see it! Link up with us by May 31st for a chance to be a guest designer with us in July. Can't wait to see your creations!

I decided to scrap some of the rhymes we used to chant as children when we skipped.

Karen W

My daughter never got into skipping, so I used a skipping girl as an embellishment.

Toni

I don't have any photo's of my boys with Skipping Ropes, so I used this Bakers Twine cord to represent the effect of Ropes.. Here my youngest is playing in the backyard..

 Wendi Robinson

Both of my kids the Jump Rope for Heart this year and each came home with a jump rope and love to jump in the backyard.

Janet

Just a fun picture from our last visit at Disney, I could probably create a fun section of an album with the pictures through the years.

Toni

Although I haven't seen Mary Poppins, I understand that she is a fantastic BabySitter / Nanny.. lol.

So I went with that theme... Big Brother Baby Sitter..

Would love to go see the musical but as I haven't -  I went with the umbrella theme.

Was inspired by the "Feed the Birds" song from the movie
