Novelty Heart Button Love Notes

Handmade love notes are not just for Valentine’s Day.  I’m sharing a little trash to treasure project with you using heart buttons and a paper box.  The box hada little accident. I have several other boxes like it that I’ve decorated with my favorite Authentique papers, and this was my last box, so I wanted to use it for something special.

I took pictures along with way.  A little love, a lot of tape, some heart buttons (of course) and other Doo-Dahs, and I think it outshines all my other boxes.  There is a funny little story about embellishments below too.

Do you love, love, love Clearance? When my kids were little, they thought Clearance was a person.  We regularly visit Uncle Clarence to see what he’s got for us. [insert chuckle here]

Anyway, I got the beautiful chunky glitter encrusted flower on clearance. It’s from Prima. The bad news, if it was on clearance, maybe they don’t make them any more? Sorry! Any gorgeous flower will do, and you could always add your own glitter.

Do you love those crocheted flowers? My friend Linda Weber makes them. I make things or send her stuff I don’t need, and she sends me hand made flowers. It’s a sweet barter system.

I added a small leaf underneath the rose, it’s from Creative Impressions. To the centers of the handmade flowers I added yes, a favored heart button, and a button from my Buttons Galore and More stash and used Beacon’s to glue it all down.
