Button inspiration Monday with Leslie Ashe!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Monday. I am sure most of you are feeling the weather shift. It has been in the 80's here in Central Oregon. We are enjoying the sunny blue skies and our garden is loving it!  Leslie reported rain and thunder in her neck of the woods, but that didn't stop her today from tweeting that she was out in the pool aspiring to be a water ballerina.  Leslie tweeted today: "kinda hard to be a water ballerina with a thunderstorm" hehe. Her tweets always put a smile on my face! You can follow her here :) http://twitter.com/LeslieAshe

Aside from pirouettes in the pool....;) Leslie has created a gorgeous scrapbooking layout using our "Raspberry Vine Buttons" These buttons are a jumbo 1.5 inches in size perfect for embellishing a knitted hat, hair bow, sweater, handmade bag and like Leslie did.....a scrapbook layout!

I love how Leslie picked up the colors from the girls' dresses and designed her layout around them. She included her journaling creatively around the border of her fancy cut paper and grouped the buttons along with the title and some other fun embellishments to ground her design. I am loving the teeny-tiny little butterflies throughout her page.

A close up shot of the buttons. Leslie tied them with twine to create a lovely rustic feel.
