My first project is a layout featuring our new Twitterpated Paper and our new Basic Collection of Craft Buttons! Buttons are one of my favourite embellishments, for cards or layouts. This brand new Basic Collection includes fabulous chunky buttons in Colonial White, Bamboo, Chocolate & Cocoa! Try using them to punctuate your titles, or for a special border, to anchor your tags or journalling pieces, and for the center of a flower. So versatile! (You can click to enlarge these photos):
