Danelle’s Creative Cafe class at CHA featured creating this photo journal. We had a great group of ladies that all loved creating this easy and quick project. The new metallic papers and journaling spots seemed to be everyone’s favorite products to use! Here’s a few photos of our day…

A month or so ago I read an article in Family Fun magazine about making button jewelry with your children.  They had buttons rings, button barrettes, button earrings, all sorts of things.  Of course I immediately thought about the Creative Cafe buttons and saved the article for later use.  Today I pulled it out and my three year old and I got to work.  I used two little silver rings we got in a ten-pack from the dollar store, some Spirit buttons, and glue.  Five minutes later this is what we had….

Here’s the lovely hand model showing off our handiwork!  It was a fun, easy project that we did together…plus they are super cute when finished.  Give it a try!  Have a great day!
