Button Farm Subscription-February Purchase

My last post was on the contents of my BFC shipment. Well, I finally took some time to work on it. I like how the shipment comes with detailed instructions, very helpful for someone like me who still needs to work on layering more.  Seriously, I rarely do more than a single layer.  Initially, I followed the instructions really well, mainly for the measurements and paper choices but as time went on, I wanted to make it my own. I wanted to add a little bit of "me" to the book.  As each page progressed, I decided not to add the cut outs and die cuts when directed. I felt like adding all of those additional elements at the end, that way I can play with my options and add more, less or swap the items out for other pieces. Here, is the final project.

Nothing was done to the back cover exterior knowing that it would most likely get scratched up.  I hope you like my version of The Button Farm Club's February Mini Album. (A quick note, I used Beacon 3 in 1 Advanced Craft Glue and my 3M ATG glue gun for the adhesive.)

Thanks for looking, I will be back with another project next month.

Button Farm Club membership

So, at this year's Anaheim, CA Scrapbook Expo I ran into the Button Farm Club. I had abstained from signing on since it wasn't my usual cup of tea. However, this year, I wanted to step out of my box so I joined. Here is my first shipment.

I am really looking forward to building this mini album!

Have you been to an Expo lately? What did you buy? Join any clubs? Did you tell/ask your significant other?
