Button it!

Good morning all you lovely crafters, the sun is shining here, for how long one never knows but it sure looks good!
 
Today sees the start of a new challenge over at Christmas Cards All Year Round.
 
The theme for this month is Gingerbread men or women.
 
I sure scratched my head on this one cos I didn't think I had anything that fit the bill, but in one of my not used so much cupboards out popped this little fellow.
 
We are also required to include Ribbon and at least 3 Buttons.
 
Anyone spot the deliberate mistake......Hee Hee.
Got me 3 buttons out to use, finished and photographed the card, loaded up and  'What'  forgot to stick the 3rd one on, should have been on top of the ribbon lol...... so let's just pretend eh!!!
Only got a couple of pics will upload inside later. Not happy with this one at all, just don't like it.
 

 
 
Recipe
 
Kraft card for card base.
Stamp - Creative Expressions, Christmas designer Set 2, coloured with distress inks and promarkers, added viva décor as icing to gingerbread man

Memory Box -  Frostyville border
Marianne snowflakes - LR0185 ,LR0124, CR1227, CR1225
Whimsy - tab die

Have a super crafty day.
Hugs Sue X

    I agree, the gingerbread challenge has me a bit stumped, too, as I don't think i have anything to fit the bill. I'm glad you discovered this little guy, he fits perfectly. LOVE all your snowflake dies and the recipe is a really fun touch. Thanks for playing with CSAYL.

    Don't know why you don't like it - it's gorgeous (had to smile about the third button - that's the kind of thing I do) - thanks for entering my CHNC challenge 122 - you could also enter this into my CHNC challenge extra for May - I'd love to see it there too. x
