Recycled Buttons

Breakfast foods are my favorite.  Cereal is perfect for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Now I have a use for all those cereal boxes.  Buttons.  One of my favorite embellies!

Challenge #41 over at Paper Players is recycling, so I took a cereal box and used a die cut to create buttons.  Not the most creative recycling, but a first for me.

I love the button card trend, so I used the frame from Verve's Framed Wishes to create my own.  Mojo Monday's sketch #185 was my inspiration.
Smiles,
Julie
P.S. Fortunately my husband is a wonderful chef so my family does not actually eat cereal all day long :>)
Details:  Stamps - Framed Wishes (Verve), CS - Cream (PTI), PP - Modern Homemaker (October Afternoon), Ink - Aqua Mist and Vintage Cream (PTI) & Lady Bug Red (Momento), Ribbon - Aqua Mist Twill (PTI), Punch - Scallop, Die Cut - Button Cutups (TCP), and thread.

    This is adorable, I love the bright colors! I could eat cereal all day too. My favorites are Lucky Charms and Frosted Mini Wheats-in strawberry. The other kind is too blah and too healthy! Hah!

    Love it! I toss my cereal boxes in the recycle bin immediately and promptly forget about them. I'll have to put a few in my craft room. Great work, Julie!

    Such a cute card! Love the "cereal box buttons", too. I have to give those cereal boxes another look before they head to the curb. Thanks for playing along with us at The Paper Players this week! :)
