{Please read. I've had several that have forgotten to add the buttons.}

My technique for this month is using Cutwork. I've kind of gotten away from doing this much lately so thought we'd give this a try. On a recent layout I cut out the tiny elephants from this cute baby boy paper. You must also use 5+ buttons.

{Cutwork is cutting any particular shape from a piece of patterned paper. These are shapes such as flowers, keys, snowmen, circles, etc. that are already on the patterned paper.}

For the fine print....
This can be paper, digi, card, or a project. All work must be new. You may do this more than 1 time. You may combine this with one other Challenge that allows that. Please link your work here as I won't be having a gallery folder. Deadline is April 30th. A random winner will be selected for a $5 ACOT gift card from me!

Hope you have fun with this!

I am just IN LOVE with this layout!!! I might just scrap lift it

oooh great challenge! I learned this as "fussy cutting" and it can definitely be tricky depending on what exactly you're trying to cut out. Thanks for a great challenge, I'm sure I'll be able to find something! lol

and wow, that's some great cutting work! Such tiny things, and elephants to boot! I'm sure I'd have cut off his trunk! Lol

Yeah, I've heard it called that too, Carolyn! Can't wait to see what everyone does with this one.

Love your sample layout! As I have that very background pop, it is going to be hard to ignore temptation to just scrsplift what you have here Deanna

You can lift away if you'd like.

I so love cutwork - and buttons.  And they need to be threaded! (anal me!!)

Fussy cutting takes time, but the results are awesome!  Thanks for the push to do more of this!!!!

I don't do it often either and I usually just cut out small things. Looking forward to your work!

I gave this a try. I am not sure if I did okay. I cut out several of my embellishments from printed paper and stickers. 


Thanks for the challenge!
