TIP: f you want to conceal the tape, i put 2 pieces of ribbon (one on each end), which really completes the look.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. use mounting tape to attach the ***green*** cardstock circle to the ***blue*** cardstock. MAKE SURE that the circle is positioned over the center of the yarn.</div><div><br /></div><div>7.fasten the  buttons about halfway above an below the green embellishment. i just positioned with doubble sided tape and it looks GREAT!</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>hope you enjoyed reading this! i will be uploading more + how i made it!</div><div>hope you enjoyed my blog...</div><div>xxx steph.</div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6961395321800742236-2336417123583095111?l=scrapbookinspire.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>xxsteph.xxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08344566913480864080noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961395321800742236.post-29837532700395970282009-10-10T17:02:00.000-07:002009-10-10T17:08:50.908-07:00here are some links to the most BEAUTIFUL, inspirational, creative and stunning scrapbook pages that i could uncover!<div>hope you enjoy them as much as i did!</div><div><br /></div><div>http://monicamyrnes.blogspot.com/ </div><div>Monica creates scrap-book style cards that are absolutely amazing.
