Designer Challenge: Sherry Steveson

Happy Monday everyone!  We hope that you had a great weekend and are ready for a fun filled week of lots of inspiring projects.  This week we have a special guest with us, Sherry Steveson!  Sherry will be sharing a challenge with us today and a project with us on Wednesday.  Let's learn a little bit more about our extremely talented guest:

 

Sherry Steveson has been passionate about scrapbooking for over ten years. Finding a hobby that merged her love for photography with her gift of writing, all wrapped up in a creative outlet was the catalyst for a life long devotion. Her work has been published in many of the major scrapbook magazines and idea books and always brings a thrill to her family when they see their faces on the pages of those publications, and she is the author of When Life Gives You Lemons and  The Scrapbook Embellishment Handbook  (Memory Makers Books). She has also found her calling in the world of teaching scrapbooking to others. Sherry currently maintains a blog at www.sherrysteveson.typepad.com . When she isn’t writing, scrapbooking or teaching, she has a very full schedule with her three children and husband’s landscape business and training to run a marathon.

Here is Sherry with her challenge for you:

I just love adding all kinds of texture and interest to my pages.  Adding buttons is a fun and easy way to spruce up a layout or card so today I thought I would show you how to jazz up some buttons!

To add buttons to rub-ons, I collected the buttons and rub-ons that I wanted to use (find rub on images that will fit easily on the button size that you want to use).

I cut out all the rub-ons and set them aside.

I then applied each chosen rub-on to a button and then I rubbed until the entire image is transferred. 

 
*some tips; not every rub on is quite as EASY to rub on to buttons so look for styles that have a higher than average stickiness to make the transfer to the button go more smoothly.

Here's my finished project using the buttons I made:

Thank you Sherry for joining us today!  We can't wait to see what you have in store for Wednesday!

Is the challenge to add buttons to our layouts? Or just add texture to our layouts? Which one is it, because there are variety of ways to add texture to a layout..
