These super cute buttons are from two different shops Vonderific and KE Design Studio

Check them out:

Vonderific:

I wish I knew what happened to the button that started all of this. At some point in my childhood, I don't even know or remember when, I got a pinback button. It was big, covered in a purple glitter coating and had my name printed in big white letters on top. I loved this button and kept it for years and years but at some point during the big transition to adult it became lost.

I still grabbed buttons all over as souvenirs. Some of my favorites came from a trip to Japan with my husband. That set off the renewed button obsession apparently because my husband was so tired of hearing me talk about wanting a button maker he bought me my first 2.25" machine, punch, supplies and a laser printer.

A few months later I set up shop. I bought a bunch of supplies to make things other than just buttons with the press, like magnets, mirrors and bottle openers. I also bought a second machine that makes 1" buttons.

The two trips to Japan we took had me fall in love with classic cherry & plum blossom and crane patterns and I started making my buttons and accessories with chiyogami paper, silk screened in Japan. I also started buying imported fabrics from asian quilting store nearby, starting with traditional prints and eventually using any colorful fabric around.

I also found great uses for my old book collections, making cute gifts with maps for the homesick or from comic books or old books for people looking for fun accessories.

That laser printer finally got a workout when I decided to make party favors. I'm always working on designs to fill this section of my shop out more.

KE Design Studio:

I got a book made up on Shutterfly with all my sonogram pictures and the professional pictures we had taken of me being pregnant. Everyone signed the book and wrote a note to the baby!

On the last page I put a siloughette of a baby.. I extended lines and asked everyone to use their finger print and place it on a string or around the page! They used blue or pink depending on what they thought I was having! They then wrote their name in the fingerprint!

We did a door prize...

I made several different desserts!!

These cute elephant punch outs were made by Pretty Paper Haven!
