Well, I love buttons. And when I'm feeling stressed, or needing time to mull, the repetition of sewing on buttons is very soothing. AAAAnd that means I've been making a great deal of cards featuring buttons lately!

I'm pretty sure the button trees are some of my favourite to make - it's time consuming to sew on each button, but the end result is soooo worth it :)
Thanks for hanging in there - I hope to participate in more of these challenges in the new year! Crafty resolutions, now those I can get behind ;)

Your button trees are so gorgeous! I can't decide which one I like best. You have the patience of a saint sewing all those on!!! I am in love with that dog stamp and sentiment too - they are hopping right on to my never ending wish list. As is that Bella Blvd. paper.
Gosh so many buttons but so worth it, I really love your button trees Jessi.
These are stunning Jessi! I see it took a long time to make these...the end result is absolutely gorgeous!!! You're amazing :)
So totally adorable! Love all the bright colours and fun designs!! ps those buttons trees are pure awesomeness!
Hooray for buttons!! One of my fave embellies, hands down (I have so many, thanks to my sewing stash, and I love them all!). I LOVE those gorgeous button trees!! Wow, they look amazing. Thanks for sharing these delight eye-candy cards, Jessi!!
WOW you took that bit of inspiration and ran with it.
Love Love Love your cards.
Thank you for Playing in Paradise
Wow! When you get on a roll, WATCH OUT for some fabulous creations. Each one is just perfect.
OMG! YOu've been very busy with all the buttons, Jessi! All of them have their own beauties and uniqueness!
Oh, wauw!!! Those button trees are amazing! I love them!! Must have been a real gap in your stack of buttons now, hi hi. Thanks for your sweet words on my blog always! I really appreciate them! And I'm practising on the sewing, so I think I'll get there! ;-)
Hugs, Wendy
You are a nut! I tried to make a button tree for this challenge and failed abysmally! It is eerie how much our stash mirrors each other! Ciao chickadee!
AMAZING job - AMAZING cards - WOW!!! Your button trees are just fabulous. + it looks like you've sewn them on - phew - but it is funny what time and patience I can spend on making a card, but mending shirtbuttons are soooo boring and tough and seems to take forever.
Have a great day, hugs, Karin
