Challenge 5 - Buttons and Bows...

We can't believe that the first month of 2011 Bah! Humbug! Challenges is over already.  Those who have joined in so far will be sitting pretty, and probably feeling just a little bit smug, that they're already well on the way to having a tidy pile of beautiful hand-crafted cards to send this year.  What's more ... because they're not racing against the clock, they can afford to spend a little more time ... which equals a little more love ... on each one of their beautiful creations.  That's gotta' be good RIGHT? 
So as we've slipped into February and a fresh new challenge, that means there's also a fresh new prize on offer to one randomly selected entry this week.    WHOOOOOOOOOO!  Are you excited?  
Wouldn't you like to win this A4 box of goodies which include sparkly ribbons, sparkly brads and sparkly Stickles to sparkle up the Christmas Fancy papers?  
OF COURSE YOU WOULD!
So get your brains in gear and make a Christmas card or project following our theme of 
BUTTONS AND BOWS
Just before you tootle off though, please check out the fantastic cards created by our Guest Designer Carole and 'Humbugger' Ann who are both working soooooo hard to keep Humbug Hall ticking over nicely while Max and Irene are missing ... and it must be said, they're doing a WONDERFUL job.  As always if you would like to know more about the cards on display or leave a comment, ('cos we love comments), please click on the links above each card.
The deadline for this challenge is

12 noon (UK time)
Thursday 10th February 2011
You are free to create whatever you like ... it doesn't have to be a card ... in fact, show us as many different Christmas Projects as you want to share.  
Just remember ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.

Ann, Irene, Max

    The cards are great and have me thinking. Funny, just last night I was thinking about adding buttons to a card or two. I guess I know what is on my shopping list.

    Thinking cap on again.......the title of the challenge has sent me off on a tangent. That is a good thing about these challenges - I am making cards, rather than looking at various papers, toppers or embellishments & putting them away with nothing created. Thank you!!!!

    Love the papermania embossing folder - I was searching for that last year - luckily someone told me where to get my hands on one.

    but I've done this quite plain one instead
