Here's a couple great projects I've had pinned for a while on Pinterest!  (If you're not familiar with Pinterest, you can click on the photo to go to the original blog post featuring these projects.)

• I love the use of buttons & twine on this layout.
• One button & a whole bunch of twine= serious cuteness on this card!
• This one shows the soft & elegant side of buttons & twine.

Hope this gives you some more inspiration... we'd love to have you play along with our Buttons & Twine challenge this month!

More Buttons & Twine!

I'm back with some more buttons & twine to share with you and get those creative juices flowing...

I've noticed so many projects lately that feature buttons & twine, they certainly work well together and I can't wait to see how you use them!  Link up your project and find out prize details on this post.

June Challenge: Buttons & Twine

It's time for a new Seriously Creative Challenge... and we've got a fun one that seems to me like it suits spring & summer just perfectly! This month we're challenging you to use both Buttons & Twine on your projects!

Here's a few samples from our Seriously Creative Design Team to get your creative juices flowing...

Julie made a cute 6x6 canvas with a removable button bracelet on it (watch for a link on our store blog)

Leslea's playful layout uses both elements perfectly:

Sarah used buttons & twine to make a cool bracket detail!

The prize for this month will include an assortment of buttons and your choice of 5 colours of Twinery Baker's Twine from our online store (5 yards of each) PLUS a little surprise from us :)
