Tuesday has rolled around again, are you up for a new challenge?

Do you have a button box? Do you like to create something using buttons?

Well, we have the perfect challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas

This week our challenge is Count Your Buttons.

.

I'm still having fun creating Halloween cards, so I went for another one using buttons.

I "cased" a card I saw on Pinterest.

I used cut files from Silhouette Studio to cut out the spider web and the spiders.

I used a spider web border punch to ad some fun detail to the inside of the card.

I just wrote the "eek" sentiment by hand because I didn't have a stamp that worked.

Supplies used: card stock - black, white, purple, silver glitter;  Silhouette Studio cut files: twine and buttons from my stash.

Cut It Up Breast Cancer Awareness Challenge

As I think almost everyone is aware, October is breast cancer awareness month!

I am a survivor!!! I found a lump a little over 15 years ago and my journey began. I went through a mastectomy on my left breast, chemo, reconstructive surgeries, and Tamoxifen for 5 years. It was all grueling, but I am living to tell about it, and that is GOOD!!

One in 7 women will get breast cancer. Not very good odds. But early detection is a huge factor in survival rates.

Check your breasts and get your mamograms!!!

Our challenge over at Cut It Up is "Breast Cancer Awareness", create a project that promotes breast cancer awareness, and don't forget the die cut!

Our sponsor for this weeks challenge is CAS-ual Friday Stamps you have a chance to win a $15 certificate for their store.

For my project I used a stamp set and 2 dies from our VERY generous sponsor Cas-ual Friday Stamps. The sets are from her "Calling All Sistahs" line.  

I just love this beautiful Breast Cancer Ribbon with all the pretty flowers.

Supplies Used: card stock - white, pink, yellow; pattern paper by We R Memory Keepers and Carta Bella; Stamps and dies by CAS-ual Friday Stamps; border punch by Martha Stewart

I can't wait to see your creation so pop on over to the Cut It Up blog and join us in the fun!
