I’ve truly enjoyed seeing the creative places that these ten artsy ladies have taken my buttons – I hope you have, too, and I hope you have wandered over to their blogs or websites. Many of them inspire me on a regular basis with their beautiful handiwork.
I don’t envy you, having to choose a winner, but that’s what it has come down to at this point! One lucky Challenge winner will get a $25 gift certificate to her choice of Polka Dot Cottage, Polka Dot Creations, or Amazon.com.
There’s also a handmade button to be won by a lucky voter. To qualify for that, simply leave a comment on this post after you’ve voted. No need to tell us who you voted for, though – that can be your little secret.
Before you vote, let me refresh your memory:
Penny’s Bag- Stephanie’s Card
- Tala’s Book
- Linda’s Yarn Cozy
- Beth’s Jewelry Set
- Nikki’s Wall Hanging
- Kashoan’s Bag
- Sarah’s Pillow
- Erin’s French Press Cozy
- Emma’s Brooch

Ready?! On with the vote!
Polls close in one week, Tuesday May 19th at 11:59pm, Eastern Daylight Time. Invite your friends to come by and vote, too – the more the merrier! Thanks for playing!

i’m a big fan of yours! what an inspiring challenge!
I might just take my polymer clay out from where it has been hiding for the past 2 years…
I agree, it was hard to chose, but I finally did after I carefully looked at all of them again. Good luck ladies! You can never go wrong with a colorful button in my opinion!
Cute projects, picking one to vote for was tough…I want to be a part of one of your contests in the future!

This was a tough choice and ultimately came down to the pillow and the french press cozy for me. As much as I love Erin (and her tutorial which I’ve been making a lot of lately), that pillow is just amazing! The work she put into it just overwhelms me. I hope it wins!
