Inside: how to make your own button tree embellishment
When I sit down to create a page I usually have an idea and when I start working this idea takes shape. My idea for this photo was to create a scene around the photo. Since the boys were pointing at something in the distant view I wanted to complete the story by creating a near view of where they were standing.

HOW TO MAKE A SCENE
Making a scene is basically adding embellishments to complete a vision of a scene or a place. So instead of embellish a page with abstract or cluster embellishments you actually create a scene like you would in a painting.
The scene for this photo is a path with flowers and a tree shading the two boys.
MAKING A BUTTON TREE
One of my favorite things to do when I create a scrapbook page is to make my own embellishments.
Creating your own embellishments is not only fun, it;s frugal and smart because:
- You can customize the embellishment to the theme, colors and feeling of the page
- You use the supplies you already have
- You always have the embellishments you need
HOW TO MAKE A BUTTON TREE
Here's how you can create your own button tree:
1. Cut the shape of the tree from a cardstock.
2. Color it with ink, acrylic paint or any other medium you like.
3. Add different size and color buttons as leaves.
