GC30: Spicy Supply - Buttons

It's time for another Spicy Supply Challenge and this month we want to see buttons in your creations. Open up your drawers and see what kinds of buttons you can find - vintage bone or fabric buttons; clear acrylic or chipboard buttons; home made clay or altered buttons. Let your imaginations soar.

Our November Challenge sponsor, PaperTemptress, has graciously donated some wonderful blog candy!

The randomly drawn winner of the blog candy will recieve their choice of one of the following 4 variety packs of PaperTemptress paper: Spring Premium Package, Valentine's Day Package, HiT Summer Fun Package or the Christmas Paper Package.

Here's a peak at the Spring Premium Package:

For your chance to win this fabulous blog candy, just follow the simple guidelines below:

1) Make a papercrafting or mixed media creation using buttons in some way;

2) Post your creation to your blog or online gallery with a mention and link to this post; and

3) Come back to this post and leave a comment including a link to your creation or use Mister Linky below. Remember to make it a link to the specific post or picture and not just a general link to your blog or gallery. We need to be able to find your art!

For more information on our challenges and directions on linking, please check out our FAQ.

One winner for the variety package of PaperTemptress paper will be chosen at random from the qualifying comments on December 8, 2009. You have until December 5, 2009 to enter!
