Button or Ribbon? To complicate things.....how about plurals thereof? That's the recipe over at Less Is More this week. Decisions, decisions, decisions! Well, I'll have to decide what kind of card I want to make. Ummmm, let me think. All right, I think I'll make a Baby Girl card, am I done? Are we there yet? No?!!
OK then! Next, I guess I'll just have to pick from a whole list of options, oh dear! Here I go......

That wasn't too bad ((wiping sweat from forehead)) and that was just the ribbon. Buttons as you recall were also part of the challenge if you wished, crazy stuff! There are round buttons, square buttons, small buttons .....you get the idea. There's actually a ton of options if you really think about it. You must have a look at these amazing cards using ribbons and/or buttons, click here at Less Is More to see them. The last time I checked I saw 163 beautiful creations! Now that's a lot!!!
Here is my entry for the challenge
Hope you like it!
Paper - DCWV
Ink - Stampin Up Pretty In Pink
Stamp - Recollections Baby Girl
Accessories - Pink grosgrain ribbon and Martha Stewart border punch and craft knife
Technique - Cut slits using craft knife in the designer paper or cardstock equal distances apart to create the openings where ribbon will fit through. Begin at one end and continue to weave the ribbon in and out of slits to create the pattern as shown on the card. The more slits cut the more the ribbon will be visible.
Note - make sure the slit is cut wide enough to fit ribbon through.
