Buttons

I hope my last post was an inspiration to you all and I'm back to talk about buttons! There are many different ways to add buttons to your pages and i am going to talk about two of them. The first way is to sew them on with a coordinating or contrasting color thread. Another way is to use sticky or pop dots! They both will attach them to the page even though sewing is my favorite way! Next time we will talk about using stickers on your pages!

How to Keep an Inspiration Journal

The easiest way to keep an inspiration journal is to get several 3-ring binders and start collecting information and inspiration. When you come across an idea you like on the internet, print it out, punch holes in it and place it in the binder. You can separate the different subjects with tabs or even keep a different binder for each subject. A good idea is to search "scrapbooking inspiration" or "scrapbooking ideas" or "scrapbooking sketches" on a search engine. You will come across many good ideas. Please post replies upon how this helped you. Also, when you find a sketch that you like, cut it out (or print or draw it if you must) and glue it in a notebook just for sketches. Above or below each sketch write the page title of the page you want to use it for, the theme of the page, and any papers or embellishments that you already have or want to buy for that page. I hope this helps! Next time we will talk about using buttons on your pages.
