Hmmmm, very less is more today. I have had these laser cut house buttons forever and decided it was about time they were used!

So I took a few scraps of paper, making a template for the hill, so that when I want to make a few more repeat cards it will make the process quicker.

And then ……. saints preserve us, I decided to get out my old sewing machine to do real and
