We are playing with buttons over at
Practical Scrappers this week! I don't have a huge collection, but I do like finding odd shapes, sizes and coloured buttons. The buttons I have chosen are big, clear with etching on the back and go with anything! I just haven't been able to use them on anything yet! Until now. I used my buttons as the centre of my flowers, but they are subtle and don't detract from the layout in any way. I also used some letter lace paper in the background, a symbol for the amount of times Sophia climbed up and down that ladder - whilst saying uh ah - cause she knew it was the wrong thing to do! She looks like she's really high up, but in fact I held the camera down low and pointed it up at her. She's on the first and second step. And her daddy was right behind her whilst I was busy snapping photos.
The other things you will see in this layout are journalling strips that I inked in pink to help them stand out. I hand drew some uneven scallops and then cut them out and adhered them with 3D foam dots. The title is sparkly and placed in steps for obvious reasons. I stickled some parts of the camera stamp, and doodled some borders in black ink.
Here's a little close up which helps to show the etching on the buttons, one has dots, the other stripes and the far one has a flower. I also distressed the edge of the green paper with my scissors.
This is also my last layout designed for Practical Scrappers - it's been so much fun meeting other designers and seeing so much inspiration in everyone's projects that joins us on the site! Thanks for having me Angela & Christine!!
