Magazine Monday – Happy Button Day!

Buttons are one of my favorite embellishments. I find I tend you use them more on layouts than on cards though.

Love buttons. They give me a sense of peace. I can remember my Grandma’s button jar. And so many colors, styles…love them so much ! And can be used to create all kinds of things!

Buttons make me think of homemade, homespun and home crafting….adding a button to a project is like adding a smile!

I love buttons too……even have a mason jar lamp filled with vintage buttons. I think they add such a great feel to a card…..and so many colours and shapes!

I love buttons because they can spruce up just about anything

love to use buttons with the papertrey button bits stamp sets.

I used to shy away from buttons but lately I reach for them all the time. Such fun additions to a card or project!

I love buttons cause they’re that little finishing touch! =) And because they layerable, glitterable, and ribbonable, haha!

I recently received a button jar from a 85 yrs old lady who had them from her grandmother. What a treasure! She also had buttons that she had collected through the years. the cards had 10 cent tags. What treasures! Buttons remind me of my grandmother. I would love to had to my collection. Thanks for the opportunity.

Buttons always offer the perfect finishing touch to my card creations! I love that they come in all different shapes and colors. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome prize!

I never used buttons untill I got a stamp set devoted to buttons and now I love them!

I love buttons. There are so many different colors, shapes, and styles. They are so much fun to add to cards, altered items, and layouts. You can take buttons and add to images to add that something touch too. Thanks for a chance.

Since I was a little girl, I remember my Me-Maw’s button jar. I LOVED that jar! I loved looking at all of the different colors, shapes, and sizes…wondering where some of them had originally been ‘living’ and what kind of clothing would have a button shaped like that? I now have my Me-Maw’s buttons plus hundreds more…using the ‘new’ ones to embellish cards and other paper crafts. Thanks for the chance to add to my collection…no one can have too many buttons! Happy Button Day!!!!

I love buttons very much! Becouse I can use it in different ways… They are perfect embellishment!

Great post! I love buttons anywhere they make sense on a card, but I mostly use them in the center of flowers.

I have my grandmother’s button collection to which my Mom added and now I do. I love adding buttons to cards…it’s an unexpected “oomph” to the card. And Melinda, you’re doing great at blogging!!!

I have loved buttons from the time I was a little girl. My mom would let me play with her button collection and sort out the different colors and shapes into a muffin tin.

I love that no two buttons ever are exactly the same. Some are chipped, color is slightly different. I love it. Also, buttons remind me of my grandmother, who was a seamstress, so I feel I am always paying my respects to her craft when I make a card with buttons or sewing on it!

I love buttons because they add just the right pop of color and dimension to the project.

Buttons work for everything! I love using buttons from a flower centerpiece to anchoring a journaling tab.

I have never really used buttons. But I did use them once as decorations on a Christmas tree card I made. It came out so cute. Thank youso much for the chance to win these great buttons.

Buttons are the best! They complete almost everything, from shirts to cards! They can hid an opps, and can be used over and over again! I even found a tutorial on making your own Faux buttons. I now use every scrap of paper I have left over for buttons so no beautiful patterned paper goes un used!

I have ALWAYS loved buttons. My grandma had a cookie tin full of antique (now) buttons, and I would spend a LONG time looking at them, and feeling them. I now love to use them on cards because they just jazz them up somehow. I will look at a card and think—it needs something. Many times it’s a button!

I Love buttons…its best,easy and most attractive little embelishment for any type of projects. I sometimes use a jar of mixed buttons for color inspiration. best way I like to use my button to tie it with a piece of twine to a bow.
thanks.

I love to use buttons–such a great way to add some dimension. They are inexpensive and easy to color coordinate. I never leave them ‘naked’ though and always have to add some twine or embroidery thread!

Wow look at all those buttons! I love buttons in a jar, so colourful and inspiring… and I also love using them as flower centers or clustered around a bow.

Like everyone else, I love buttons! I still have an old coffee can filled with my granmother’s buttons (I spent hours arranging, and rearranging, as a child). Fabulous giveaway, thanks so much for the chance to win them!

Buttons are always so great, they always make me think of antiques or clothing they used to be on. Very good giveaway!

What a fun card! I’m only just now getting into buttons, so I have a very small stash and have yet to make something with them. I hope to use some for my sis-in-law’s upcoming birthday though. I just love the dimension and extra pop they add to a card!

BUTTONS!! They are so versatile. You can use them alone or in a group to make a shape… and now thanks to PTI you can use them with a stamped image. Love me some buttons!

Buttons at whimsy to any design! iheart buttons and use them ALL THE TIME

I love buttons not only because they keep my pants from falling down and by chest from bursting out (tee hee;) but also because I rarely make a card without this fab embellishment. Buttons are my go to card bling- now the debate- do you leave them naked ( I do) or must you always add some sort of string tee hee.

Who can’t use buttons? They’re SOOO versatile – unisex; sizes; colors; shapes; styles…and if that isn’t enough – get some clear ones and make them any color/design you like!

Buttons are easily obtained, can be manipulated, and remind me of some of my favorite things (mainly comfy clothes!)

Thanks for the chance to win!

I love buttons because they can be used for so much and make a page shine.

Buttons aren’t just for keeping you pants up or shirt closed anymore. They have made the transition and have made it quite nicely. I always find myself reaching for my buttons regardless of what I am working on. Especially when doing anything with a masculine flair. I always find myself having a hard time add a “flower” to such a project, but not with adding a button.

yes, how did you know I needed all those buttons?!?!

I simply love buttons. I can remember as a child having a very large, round tin (about a foot in diameter by 5 inches deep) filled with buttons. I used them in my crafting then, and use them a lot now. They have soooo many uses, it just amazes me. : )

Happy Button Day everyone! : )

Oh, I love buttons!! I think it’s a great way to add color and dimension to a simple card.

buttons have always been my favorite…my grandma kept a drawer of buttons for all the grand-kids to play with…button, button, who has the button! FOND MEMORIES!! I love to put buttons on my cards, scrap pages & altered art!!!!!

I think buttons add a “comfort” feel to my cards. As I sort through my buttons for just the perfect one, it reminds me of going through my Grandma’s button box as a child. I could spend hours sorting and playing with them. Thanks for the memory.

Your blog today is just great–love your witty writing style.

Buttons are so versatile! They can enhance a project in a subtle way or be the focal point. They can be elegant or down to earth. So many possibilities with buttons.

I have always LOVED buttons, and I incorporate them into my crafts whenever possible…partly because I have collected so many over the years!
I especially love antique buttons. I wish they could talk…can you imagine the stories they would tell??

I love buttons because they are a simple addition to make but they can have a big impact on the look.

Buttons are my absolute favorite embellishment. I love them because they come in all shapes, sizes and colors and add cool texture to cards. Plus, they look so cool sitting in clear jars in my craft room

Buttons and more buttons… there is very little you cannot use them for. I like them because they add height and dimension to the page. I love the layered look it gives vs. just a flat page. I use them to add a border on a picture or to “divide” the page with a border. I add them to a tree stamp to add the “leaves” or to build the flowers on a flower stamp. you can even build letters with them to make a title for your page. I love them because they are versatile and timeless, and come in so many colors. they add a warm quality to the pages/cards you create and just open up your mind to so many different ways to use them. I most recently made a shaker box filled with tiny stamped images and miniature buttons – this made up the front of a card for fall. The buttons just made it as they not only added color and content, but now I had SOUND too when I shook it. I just can’t get enough of them! I use em all the time.

I just love buttons! You can put them on most anything from hats, clothes, cards & even scrapbooking. My Mom has 3 large tins full and I love to sort through them often!

I love the colors and shapes of buttons, it’s like opening a box of candy…so much to choose from you don’t know which one to pick first. I can use them on anything.

Buttons. Oh man. They are on almost everything I make. But I don’t really have that many. I have a small collection that comes from my grandma’s supply she saved off of old clothes, and my supply saved from all those extra buttons that come with new clothes. I’ve bought very few buttons, and I’m running out of the cute ones! They add a simple yet fun somethin somethin to the middle of a flower or as a corner accent or whatever. I can’t scrap without buttons!

I love buttons!! My grandmother and mother had tins with thousands of buttons and used them for sewing clothes for me and my sisters. I use them on everything- cards, towels and clothes.

Oh my, those R beautiful buttons!! I would love to see those on my projects!! thanks for posting!!

I love buttons with interesting shapes, metal ones, and large clear ones to alter the most!! Can a gal ever have too many buttons……..NOT this gal!!

Buttons are somethings super easy to grab and throw on a scrapbook page or card and they just make things cuter. AND they can make sooo many cool things! And they come in TONS of diff. colors…i love buttons.

I love buttons because they are all so different and colorful! I love just looking at then in a jar, it’s art!

They remind me of being a kid – my mom had a huge button collection that I use to love to dig through and sort. So much fun!

Buttons remind me of my grandmother sitting at her sewing machine creating making our school outfits … and letting us help put on the buttons.

Buttons, Buttons, Got to get me some of those buttons! Love using my buttons as embellishments. They add such a fun touch to the cards. What a lovely assortment and would love to bring them home with me.

Buttons are just cute..no other reason needed!

Love buttons because they are a great embellishment for manly cards. Or girly ones, too, for that matter.

They are dimensional, but still flat enough to work on a card. The way you attach them can also be a decorative feature. They are whimsical, colorful, and come in so many different styles – rustic, bold, ornate, vintage, simple!

buttons are the BEST! I use them all the time and can never have enough! floral centers, tied to the center of ribbon bows, a trio in a corner on a card – so many uses!

i heart buttons! i use them so often for so much!!

I have loved buttons since I learned to sew in 8th grade. I love their beauty and how much they compliment any papercrafting project.

What’s not to love about buttons? They’re round, cute, and work with everything.

Who doesn’t love buttons! My collection from PTI is growing quite nicely. Pretty soon I will be known as ‘the button chick’ LOL!

I think buttons are very versatile…they can be used on a vintage project or a very modern, simple project. Love them!

I ADORE buttons, I have jars of them in my craftroom and I use them whenever I can, on whatever I can.

HAPPY BUTTON DAY!

Buttons are like history of generations in bloom; they never loss their beauty and use; imagine if our Great grand mother would see what we are now creating with buttons now- mine is sure smilling : )
Buttons finish a beautiful card, scrapbook page, sweater, a pair of pants, lamp or even a memo canvas. I have all the buttons of the past generations so far and love to use them in personal card for our family so they can have a piece of our past and love. I love buttons : )

OMW, my heart started to beat faster when I saw all those buttons!! I love buttons as a final touch to my cards and borders for my scrapbooking! They are so much fun to thread with anything from cardstock to thread to wire, silk ribbon or twine. I love layering them, using them as flower centers and collaging with them. I even just bought some button packs today!! Please pick me and thanks for the chance to win!!

Buttons are the perfect accent for me. They can be flower centers, they can be dressed up with bling, different colors of floss, they can be distressed with ink. A lot of my layouts use buttons. I guess buttons mean home to me… and old fashioned accent that can appear very modern.

Buttons remind me of my mom, who I lost when I was a little girl. I remember she had jars of buttons on her sewing table. She and my grandmother were seamstresses. I love to use buttons in cards and scrapbooks because they are adorable and because they remind me of them. One of the greatest embellishments, as far as I am concerned!

Buttons are so fun…I have buttons from my grandmothers that they saved years ago. Using them on pages and cards are so cute. My one grandmother was in a button club. I have so many great buttons it’s hard to decide which ones to use….

Buttons are one embellishment that stand the test of time. Looks like you have a good assortment there!

Oh how I love buttons. My earliest memory of loving buttons is when I think I must of been about 4. I discovered a shelf that I could just barely reach with my little finger tips by standing on a pillow from my Mama’s nearby chair. I’d stand on that pillow and I could barely pull this red rusty old round tin down. I remember falling down backwards and the lid popped off and all around me were what seemed like thousands of buttons. As a little girl, these were like hidden jewels. I would treat them sooooo special. There were mostly just plain buttons but there were many special ones too. I remember my favorite was a heart shaped glass button that was two-toned. One side was red and the other side was clear. To me that was the most valuable one….the “Diamond in the tin”. There were wooden toggle ones that came off a coat of my Grandma’s. There were even a few metal ones that Grandma told me came from a uniform during the Civil War. I’ve never been able to find out if that is a true story but as a little kid, I soaked up all those stories that those buttons created. Even to this day, when I make it home, I’ll sneek into my Mom’s sewing/craft room and lift that lid and just run my fingers through those buttons and remember sitting on the floor sorting and remembering the stories that button can held for me. Oh now I’m getting a little misty missing Grandma now.

Buttons are just a fun addition to any scrappy project. They bring back lots of memories of my grandparents.

Buttons are just so pretty and the possibilities are endless! Love buttons! Thanks for the chance to win!

What’s not to like about a button? They are easy to embellish with and just seem to make any creation they are used with happy and whimsical. Love ‘em.

I love that buttons add texture and depth. They are also cheap, and you can incorporate new ones or vintage ones from old clothing.

I LOVE buttons! It sounds cute, and love how they have holes). It’s a perfect way to accessorize a layout, and very functional, too. I love it so much I created my blog header with a photo from my button collection.

button button who got the button.

Buttons are some of my favorite embellishments! They come in all colors and designs, if you buy them, they often come in a big pack, and you can often just find buttons and therefore recycle them when you use them on crafty projects – very green!
Thanks for the chance to win!

Wow! I love buttons because they come in all shapes, sizes and colors. There are so many unique buttons. They are wonderful and you can use them to create so many different designs. I need to start using more buttons in my card making!

Buttons just add that extra “pop” that you need sometimes!! Plus I have a great big bag of them that I’ve collected over the years so they are a pretty economical embellishment.

Buttons are soooo much fun! I love them because they come in all different shapes, sizes and colours and always add that extra bit of pizazz to any kind of project! Creativity with buttons is endless!

I don’t know why I love buttons so much. They seem to be the perfect touch for most cards. LOVE THEM!

I love buttons. They just add that extra special touch to a card. Can’t make cards without them. I’m addicted.

I absolutely love to use buttons…I use them all the time. I even have a tool box (one where nails are separated) for my buttons. They are all sorted by color….and I would love to sort all those yummy buttons in with my stash!! Pick me!!!

Button Button Who’s got the Button was a fun game we played during a rainy day when I was young. We used buttons for bingo too. I love the way buutons sound when they move around in a jar. I love to put buutons by color in jars to brighten up my craft space. My favorite way to use them is to put them in the center of a flower. Hooray for Happy Button Day!

Love the card with all the buttons – they make it really fun!

who knows why but i have become a button junkie. yes i can’t believe it either but it’s totally true!

I am hooked on buttons! I love polka dots so you can put a button dot on almost anything. So I am seeing those glitter buttons yummy!! So much fun!!

Buttons make me very very very happy. They just do. They are multicultural, textural, come in all shapes and sizes with different patterns and purposes and boxes and jars of them thrill my inner child. They make cool sounds when played in and keep my attention for hours. Who doesn’t love them?

I love buttons because they come in so many colors, sizes, and designs. I especially like to use this on boy’s or masculine cards, because buttons can be unisex, unlike flowers.

ooooooooo!!! I love buttons! I have two reasons why:

1) When my daughter was little (a year or two) I had a huge old tin full of buttons and she would run her little baby hands through, picking up the buttons and letting them fall, just enjoying the colors, the feel, and the sound! It made me smile just to watch her be so content with buttons!

2) My grandma used to stash buttons in her sewing ottoman thingie. I never even knew that it opened up for storage until I was in my teens. When she showed me, I was smiling from ear to ear and they always remind me of her now!

Both are emotional ties – but strong ones at that!

I love button because they are cute, available in so many color, easy to add demension to a page.

I love buttons because they add so much texture and dimension to a page. My fave spot to put them is as a flower centre or overlapping a ribbon.
Thanks for the chance to win that gorgeous selection !

I love buttons because they remind me of my grandmother’s sewing box. She taught me how to sew and buttons were always one of my favorite trims. Thanks for a chance to win!

When I am crafting using buttons, I find that it takes a little extra (stitching, glue dot, ribbon) to make a button become a part of the project but that little extra makes the project feel extra special. That’s why I love buttons!!

I love buttons. I think they add a cuteness to everything! Buttons rule!

I love buttons too. My daughter loves to collect them and I just love to use them on cards and scrapbook pages.

I love buttons because you get a big bang for your buck! They come in all shapes and sizes and add texture.

Why do I love buttons? Hmmmmmm. I think it’s because they’re so versatile, they work with nearly every style. And truthfully I think I like collecting them. I love cards with oodles and oodles of buttons but I love my buttons so much that I find I can’t part with that many of them all at once. I guess I’ll just have to keep on trying.

Buttons are awesome. I had no idea that they had their own day. I love what people have been doing with them lately…a card can just a have a few for embellishments or a lot to make whole focal elements. A very versatile thing to have in your stash for sure!
