Better late than never, Carolyn here to bring you Challenge #13.  Sorry it wasn’t on time.  My eldest daughter is sick and I have been too.  No fun!  But I DID have fun with this challenge and hopefully you will too!

It is easy: Use at least 25 buttons on your page. When I first started popping those buttons all over I thought it would look too busy, but I decided I LIKE that busy look right now.  You can always put a row of buttons under a photo or as a border if you don’t want to space them around as I did.  Good Luck!

Here’s the layout I made:

Isn’t it fun?  I LOVE all those buttons!  I may have to do that again!  This layout was made using  Happy Hanukkah by Andilynn Designs and Scraps by Number: Yours Truly v2 by Stolen Moments.

Remember you can jump in anytime to play along in our new challenge system to win some great prizes – details here.   And here’s the whole list of challenges for December.  Happy Scrapping!
