As a scrapper who loves buttons and brads, the Follow Your Heart line is absolutely amazing. The button and brad sets have a wide variety and they are so fun to use to make your page interesting. You might think I got a little carried away as I used 11 buttons, 2 rhinestones and a brad and yet I don’t think they look overdone. To round out the page I used some of the chipboard shapes – a hexagon strip and kites.
I started with backgrounds that had Wander on top and Be Adored on bottom. (I cut these carefully so the designs were where I wanted them.)
A piece of the Unique paper forms a photo mat. This allowed me to write headings to go with some pictures directly on the paper.
In the upper corner of the left background, I copied the design on the paper. After applying little strips of a variety of the paper, I made a chain of buttons, rhinestones and a brad. I tied a knot of twine from the Follow Your Heart Line in the buttons. I tore the saying about “wandering” from another piece of Wander paper and affixed it with pop dots to make the saying more prominent. I added some buttons in other locations – I even bought an extra set so that I could have three butterflies. I also made a butterfly using Tim Holtz Sizzix Easter Elements die. Before cutting out the chipbard, I affixed the gold hexagon side of Be Your Best paper from the 6” x 6” Designer Paper Pad. (By the way, I have not bought these before, but they are fabulous. You get papers that have the same design as 12” x 12”, but the designs are much smaller and oh so cute.) To enhance the butterfly, I cut a body out of three hexagons from the same chipboard. I added twine to the its antennas.
I couldn’t resist using another Tim Holtz Sizzix Styled Label to make a place for my title. I used Unique paper (making sure I got part of the design on the side). I stamped it with a variety of Tim Holtz stamps. For my title, I used a Scrabble alphabet stamp set and Black Soot Distress Ink. 
It is so easy to make pages with lots of elements when you have this line of paper and accents.
