There are many fabulous tutorials on the Catch the Bug blog, in fact there is a new one EVERY Wednesday! Make sure you check them out!
I would like to add this project to the following challenges:

I absolutely love these ideas for buttons. Sometimes buttons are just too casual a look for some projects but your ideas take it up a notch. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us on Come and Get It Challenge Blog.
