The Button Farm Acrylic Album

While I was in Seattle at CKC, I picked up a few album kits from The Button Farm and finally got around to putting a few of them together.


I don't remember the exact name of this album, but it was too stinking cute to pass on. I'm sure if you want one of your own, you can email Angela and see if she can hook you up.


I had a bunch of paper and buttons left over, enough for several cards or even a page or two. I followed her directions pretty literally (full color!) but you could have lots of fun with this and do your own thing.


I think I'm going to put pictures from Addie's first Christmas this year in it.

Back from CKC in Seattle!

I had a great time hanging out with Liane, Shauna and Janelle for a few days at CKC Seattle. Got a chance to see the Space Needle and the Pike Place Market and got some amazing pictures that I'll post soon (or you can see on Face Book).

While I was there, I fell in love with this one company that I hadn't heard of before. I dropped about $125 at their booth on the first day, the day I said I wasn't spending any money. The best part of it all, was that I had to travel all the way from Portland, ME to Seattle, WA to find a company that is literally in the next town over.

Angela puts together these amazing kits, from some fantastic companies and she goes all out with embellishments and instructions.

I was fortunate enough to take one of her classes for the Good Things Album: http://thebuttonfarm.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=122

I did limit myself to four of her kits, which aren't show on her site, but I'll post as I finish.

Check out her site, tell her the girl from Maine in Seattle sent you. I promise you won't be disappointed!
