I chose firefighters because my husband, stepson, and stepgrandson are three generations of this field. The buttons are actual, and he wouldnÂ’t let me cut them up to fit on the card so I had to just lay them on it. . The gold means upper administration, two crossed bugles are Assistant Chief, and three crossed bugles are Chief. I colored with Copics.

What treasures in those buttons and a fantastic fire fighter card. This is surely a great job for the Labor Day challenge. Thank you so much for joining the challenge.

I think the buttons look pretty cool as they are, Kandie. What a special card - perfect for the challenge. The sentiment is also a very inspiring and challenging one. Each time I visit my aunt I pass a house that has an old vintage fire-truck outside and it always makes me think of you and your DH.

What an awesome card Kandie! I can't say I blame your DH for not wanting you to cut the buttons! This is a wonderful way to honor the men in your family!
