Button, Button Who's Got a Button...

Hi scrappers! This is Kate from Sassy and Scrappy and I'm thrilled to be here with you all today. If you read my bio you know I have several crafting loves, but one I didn't mention is buttons. I love buttons! I use them on cards, layouts and even home decor projects. I'm going to share a few of those with you today.

First up is a home decor project:


I purchased this plain black frame and decided to spruce it up a little. As you can see I adhered buttons to the center of some of my flowers. I love the additional depth and texture they added to a "plain jane" frame.


Next up, a scrapbook page:


Here you can see I used buttons for wheels on my die cut car. I have done this several times and love how is spices up an other wise ordinary car.



For my project today I used buttons to create a border for my scrapbook page. This is the first time I've tried this, but I think the result is REALLY fun. I kept the rest of the page very simple, as always when I create a page I want the focus to be on my picture/s.



To adhere buttons I like to use glue dots, although on this page I sewed some of the buttons straight to the paper. What I love about buttons is that they're so diverse, and you can utilize them in countless ways.
