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.
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!
[…] Vote for My Purse! By pennylrichardsca Or whichever other project in Lisa’s Big Button Challenge that you think merits your click. Voting closes next week, so head over right now. Mine is #1, […]
Can I be part of the next contest? I’ve got a bunch of your buttons that are in the queue for some knitting projects. BTW…your 10 contestants are very talented!
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!
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!

Great job all – it was difficult to choose, and has been a pure pleasure to see the entries filter in. And the buttons themselves are just great, Lisa.
I just found your site and this was an inspirational challenge. I was totally impressed with how using buttons could be so diverse and original. Your buttons are gorgeous.
I love all of the button BUT I am really blown away my the patterns in the painted purse. I also think the idea of the leg of the jeans is SO cool and will bring a lot of inspiration for a lot more projects. GREAT group of fun stuff!
Wow! Those are some talented ladies you’ve got participating. It was a real tough call for me. I think it would have been easier to pick out my favorite one of your buttons…Nah!

TWiP: Rainy Days and Peonies (2017) When it wasn't raining this week, I was fawning over our peonies. Okay, even when it *was* raining, I was fawning over the peonies.
