Dropping You a Line

Hi everyone!  I finally had a bit of time to delve into my new Stamping Bella stamps.  (One down and about 15 more to go. lol.)  I had to go for the cute little fisherman first.  🙂

Just Dropping You a Line

In anticipation of my order, I picked up this boyish paper by 3 Bugs in a Rug the last time I was in my semi-local scrap store.  I wish it weren’t such a drive to get there, but then again, that might be a good thing.

I added two tiny silver brads on the boy’s overalls and used a spare button to the left of the sentiment.  Since I like to pop up the whole front panel anyway, there was plenty of room to accommodate the shank. 

I punched a hole where I wanted to place the button, cut a long thin strip of cardstock, folded it over two or three times and slipped the folded strip through the shank to hold the button in place.  I added a bit of glue too, just in case.

Isn’t he cute?  🙂

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Have a great day!
