Edited to Add: ACK! My free bloggin' days are ovah!
Sighhhh, I was going to post that other promised post (cloud & box) today, but I can't because I just ran out of room for photo uploads on Blogger and hafta figure out how to pay for more space. UGH, but blogger does give so much for free so I can't really complain...
So I'll catch ya with that soon.... :O)

News at Little Paper Shop: Today is the new Release (and a sale too)!!! Everything in the store will be 10% off (even the new releases.) Starting today (16th until the 25th of Feb.) So if you needed an excuse, there it is. ;o) hehehe
This is the how-to for the button from that Hedgehog box. If you're like me & you have lots of plain ol' clear buttons, this is one way to glam 'em up (and make them match stuff):

Step 1) Punch circles of paper roughly the same size as your buttons.
Step 2) Add Crystal Lacquer to your button
Step 3) Sprinkle a little glitter on it (that's Dazzling Diamonds here)
Step 4) Add the paper on the back of the glittery lacquer & press down to spread out the glue.
Step 5) Put a line of Crystal lacquer around the outside & add bling. I scratched a bit under where the gems would go to help them adhere better (using a paper piercer.)
(This is one extravagant button since this uses 21 Swarovski crystals (squeak!), but they're just so sparkly! They were a Christmas present from the World's most Marvelous M.I.L. Esther. Tempting to hoard, but we gotta use things right? 'Cause "they're tools not jewels." No wait, they are jewels! LOL.)
Step 6) Didn't want this sparkly suckah goin anywhere, so it's sewed on well.
Step 7) If you want to add it to a box with a ribbon under it, you can also add a circle of matching paper (to hide the stitching & it makes the ribbon tie at a perty spot.) Ouuu, don't look at those dirty mitts o' mine! lol ;O)
Thank You for taking time out of your busy day!
