LM #200 "Buttons" and a Celebration Hop!

Hello! Karen here to kick off this weeks challenge. When I was lining everything up, we realized we were coming on challenge #200!! Holy cow! So Claire said "We have to celebrate!!!" So guess what!? We're hopping with celebration and excitement this week :) Yep, we're having a blog hop in celebration of my 200th post here at LM! First, your challenge .. Buttons! We are looking for buttons, buttons everywhere on those layouts this week! Be creative, have fun and hey, go a little out of your box if you like! Some of us have gotten a little creative with this challenge using buttons this week. So watch out for some awesome inspiration! Don't worry, you have till August 1 to enter this hop along with all the challenges for the month of August. This ones just a little extra special :)
Now, lets talk PRIZES! We have a Grand Prize AND some prizes along the hop from the design team. Those you'll have to find on your own and be sure to read the post to see what you need to do in order for a chance to win! Our grand prize winner will receive a $25 gift certificate from A2Z Scrapbooking Store!!  (this is completely separate from our monthly challenge prize pack!!) Are you a fan of our FB page yet?? If not, head on over and "Like" us for another chance to win! SO MANY chances to win cool prizes!!
Oh yeah, one more thing! Along the way, you'll see that we each have a letter at the bottom of our post. Collect all the letters and unscramble them. You will be spelling 2 words and there is also one symbol .. come on, we couldn't make it to easy!! Come back here and leave your answer in the comments, which will be moderated, so no peeking!!
To get that mojo moving, here's some scrappy talent from Me!  My DT decided to be a little sneaky with this challenge and only linked up a little sneak peek below. Be sure to visit everyone, leave comments and play along for your chance to win candy and the grand Prize!!  Only those who play the game and enter the actual challenge have a chance at winning the Grand Prize.  ***BOTH traditional AND digital layouts allowed!! Remember, LAYOUTS only please!*** Are you ready???? Don't forget! Letters, comments, candy and more! HAPPY HOPPING!!!
