PPA Button Challenge

Our featured artist Joanna Munster and the PPA Design Team have this week's challenge all buttoned up!  Use just one button - or a few - in your design and play along at Pals Paper Arts.  

I created a simple card using SU Retired buttons as a border this week.  I chose the Polka Dots Embossing border for my background so I could easily place my buttons.  PPA 91, Buttons, Carla's Scraps

I added White Bakers Twine from the upcoming Summer Mini to the buttons.  I added the Rose Red Ribbon, retired and colored in the Love with Tempting Turquoise Marker.

I’m sorry it’s a short post today.  I’ve been having neck issues and it really bothers me to sit at the computer to type or graze around blogland.  It puts such a strain of my neck.  It was getting better, then I missed a step coming upstairs on Easter and twisted it all over again.  A dark cat on an unlighted stairway...  

A few years back I was diagnosed with Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease, so with that and my first rib being out of alignment has really put a damper on my computering and card making the last week or so.  But hopefully I will be back up and running soon.   I am doctoring for it, it will just take a bit of time. 

I hope you have some buttons to add to your creations this week, we’d so love for you to play at the PPA with us.

This is so pretty! I'm not much of a button person, but I love how you used them on this card. Normally I can only figure out how to use 1 button.

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and leaving all those lovely comments! Hugs back to you! ;D
