A SCRAPBOOK JUNKIE: Buttons Galore!

It's been a busy ol' time for me and Stash Panache over the past month or so. I left my job working on Scrap365 magazine to take a job which is more local to where I live. The hours and distance means that I'm here for the kids everyday which is a fantastic bonus. So my last issue hit the shops last week although Katy and I have worked hard to put together some fabulous new features in the forthcoming issues this year!

So if you fancy yourself as an assistant editor over at Traplet and live near Malvern take a look at the job ad here. It really is the best job in the world if you love crafting!

I have been busy over the past few months creating heaps of fab designs picking up trends from the industry. I'll start off with some new Boutique Buttons which are just £4.50 for a pack of eight buttons!

These two sets feature a mix of words and images that will suit any project. I try to keep to colours and tones that will match all sorts of papers and themes.

These guys have been inspired by Echo Park's Photo Freedom collection although really, wouldn't you just love to add one to just about everything?! I'm particularly fond of chalkboards at the moment and have added a large one in my kitchen. So you can see there are 3 chalk-style buttons in this collection.

Next up Bijou Buttons. Just like Boutique buttons, they're 1" buttons but in packs of four. They will be more themed than Boutique Buttons and cost just £2.50 a pack (bargain!)

Uber-cute buttons for babies (the yellow in the photo is not quite that yellow in real life - my camera does not like yellow!)

More chalky goodness c/o Studio Flergs. These are just a fab way to punctuate your layout!

I have a small penchant for maps although I was terrible at geography at school! These flew off the shelves at Funky Farm Scrapbook Barn last weekend!
