Buttons, Brads, and Bling!

I love the Scrap Your Stash videos on Two Peas. Every week we get a different challenge to actually use our treasured stash. This week's challenge by Paige Evans was to use buttons, brads, and bling as a frame or to frame any shape we choose. Sounds easy enough, right? My choice was a shamrock because my son's birthday is St. Patrick's Day. I cut the shamrock and some additional leaves (hearts) from assorted patterned papers using my Cameo. The fun part of this is gathering all the embellishments and attaching them. I will say that it took quite some time to do this, but it's so worth it in the end.


This was such a fun and relaxing layout to do. It was like a trip down memory lane seeing some embellishments I've had in my stash over ten years! If you're like me and need a push to use up some goodies, be sure to check out the Scrap Your Stash videos - I'm sure you'll be hooked just like me!

  1. That is so cool... the added texture from the buttons really makes the page pop! Great design, too. The embellishments actually add to the page rather than taking the focus away from the photo.

  2. This is awesome, Sherry! Love this idea to use up the stash and that all the bits get more of a feature than just being a little dash here and there. Happy Birthday to the Shamrock Kid!
