Buttons are not just for clothing. It's unclear when scrapbooking with buttons began as a trend. Even in early scrapbook albums, it wasn't unusual to see a button placed on a scrapbooking page. Quite often it was a keepsake button, like from a vintage piece of clothing or a baby girl's first dress. As scrapbooking pages started to come to be more 3-D and scrappers looked for unique embellishments for their pages, buttons became more popular. Manufacturers started gift buttons to coordinate with their paper lines, and buttons with themes like Christmas and sports became available. Monthly scrapbooking kits and page kits often consist of complementary buttons as part of their packages. Reconsider these tips for using buttons on your pages.
