I just love Basic Grey's buttons.... and have quite a good collection!

So for my little feature today - I've used Sugar Rush Buttons
Image
I grabbed a plain image off the net of Little Bo Peep, and glued a heap of the buttons on.... then with one long thread - did a running stitch all through the buttons so it has a nicely sewn finish. Easy peasy!

And then added it to my LO of little Hannah and Paige peeping through the window (in our previous house) - so I turned it into a nursery rhyme, when actually they were watching their daddy mow the lawn and he kept waving to them.... I'm going to add that bit of journaling to the LO too (just forgot to do it before I photographed :roll: )
Image
So it just goes to show how you can 'play' with the subject and turn it into a little story. This would be nice for a page in a little album of nursery rhymes - with my children in it....

Sugar Rush Doily Confectionary (grey) for the side panels of the LO.... its gorgeous to use! Its probably more of a bluey-mauve grey (ifykwim)
Sugar Rush Micro Mono Stickers
Fruitcake Sugar Cookie Background paper (reverse side) I often use the Christmas papers as they have some of the best reverse sides for backgrounds. I've also folded over the left side section so you can actually see the underside Christmas pattern now on the LO that the bows are holding down. Doesnt look Christmassy at all :wink: This is kinda a thick support section where I'll put eyelets into to support the page for a mini- album.... of nursery rhymes pages :wink:

Back to the buttons.....
if you copy and paste

Basic Grey Buttons

into the 'Seach Products' on the top right hand side, it will bring them all up for you out of each of the ranges. :wink:

And if you just type in just the one word 'buttons' - you'll get a heap more from other brands! :biggrin:
