Good evening!! Well, I guess the joke is on me :) The PTI challenges are still on! The only way I’m able to do any of this is that I think about a card all day at work. Then when I finally get home I whip it up :) The challenge today is to use buttons…hardly a challenge!! LOL NOT using them would be more of one. They are coming out with a vintage button card set and have asked us to make a card using buttons. I thought of my Grandpa’s button collection right away. I am the proud owner of some of his button boxes, pictured here with some real vintage buttons given to me by my friend, Melisa :)
Inside those boxes, I found some of my Grandpa’s vintage button cards…aren’t they adorable? The bottom left hand one says “Guaranteed Washable.” lol
I took the little card to the right and attached it to my card :) I had to turn off one of my light box lights as there is foil backing the buttons :) I think they look like little button diamonds :) I don’t think Grandpa would ever have imagined this would be in style!! LOL AND, just because I’m a little proud of myself for thinking of this before the PTI trend, here are my cards using chipboard coaster frames!! I have a TON of these little coasters from about 5 years ago when we used them in my card class making little books, etc. Last month I discovered making little frames out of them :) Thanks for dropping by :) I’ll be back first thing in the morning with my new Viva La Verve card…it also has a chipboard coaster frame!!

Is it a coincidence that I just ordered this Inside & Out Birthday set? No! I like to think I have good taste...and if you have it, well that just proved my point! =) Love this! All that bling is stunning!!
Way to use the coasters. May have to dig a few of mine out and give it a try. Well done on both.
These are gorgeous, Maureen! What a pretty little button card. So sparkly! Love all the vintage details. I think you've outdone yourself! Seriously!
