It literally took me four hours to come up with placement of these left over silver buttons from one of My Paper Pumpkin kits. I wanted to use Real Red card stock, but just couldn’t fit it into the silver. I know right? You’re thinking, “WHAT!? Four hours?”
Sometimes, creativity just takes a little while… LoL. Especially with me… someone actually said to me, “you make it look so easy.” I should have camcorders set up so y’all can follow the pain of my hobby. Not a pain, think of it as giving childbirth… OTFL.
But this is the exact reason why I choose to face my fears. It’s easy to follow a drawn sketch, but much more difficult for me to come up with a sketch of my own. I have to admit, the creative process has therapeutic value.
I like to call it HE/ART THERAPY. It cures the heart of any sadness, depression, or trauma in your life. There are even Master’s degree courses and I found an awesome job description here.
Aren’t the buttons just lovely. I didn’t want to use them all up when I discovered them as part of My Paper Pumpkin subscription a few months ago. So, I held on to two sets for use in a future project and the future arrived today… LoL.

Ooooohhh, I love those buttons. I found a bunch of buttons in my Mom’s sewing machine and I know there are some that would fit this. How neat! I hope I can find two the same color. How cute! I have a new mission now, thank you!
Very, very cute!!
