Baby Scrapbook Page with Buttons and Fold-Out Button Mat

Materials and Tools:

1. Remove shanks from buttons as needed. For buttons with holes, thread either ribbon or floss through as shown. Secure floss on back of buttons with mini glue dots; set buttons aside.

2. Cut a pink mat 3/4" larger than photo (for a 4" x 6" picture, cut mat 4-3/4" x 6-3/4"). Place photo in center of mat and lightly mark where the corners of the photo touch the mat. Remove photo, then cut a diagonal line on the mat from one corner mark to the opposite corner mark. Repeat diagonal cut on other corner marks (the two cuts should form an "X.")
