in the middle of the chaos i already have going in my studio … i started this yesterday. you’d think i would just focus on the projects i already had started and get those done. but that’s not how my mind works these days. lol!

i had this photo of alyssa printed out from a while ago … and i just started pulling out some stuff that went. i wanted to use the autumn leaves buttons … the colors looked so good in the jar. added a journaling notebook page from making memories … and then pulled out some "garden party" pattern paper and some metal rimmed tags. i’ve been adding mini brads to my button centers a lot recently … love how cute it looks. also added a rubon image and the title from heidi swapp.

that’s it for now. hoping to finish up a few layouts tonight … in fact, i really need to since they’re due soon. lol! typical laura style … leave it until the last possible minute. doing things early and ahead of schedule would be too easy! i think i just thrive on that last minute pressure … i think i create better that way!

    Great layout — I actually commented yesterday about the braces being off — how funny you mention it today.
    I love the idea of putting mini brads in buttons. I usually put buttons on my page just as they are (i’m not one for putting a string in them), so this will give it that extra something. GREAT IDEA!

    I love your layout Laura … those buttons are gorgeous and I love the stamped floral image or is it a rub on? Looks great either way! Beautiful pic of Alyssa too. 🙂
