Craft Hoarders Annoymous - Challenge 14 - Button It Up!

Monday, August 18, 2014

Hello Bloggers,

Whew, I had a busy weekend. Both of my grandbabies had a birthday party on Saturday and one on Sunday. I am worn out, but they all had so much fun. Welcome back to another challenge with Craft Hoarders Annonymous Challenge 14. This week we are joining Altered Pages with a blog hop! Crafters of every stripe are button hoarders!

Buttons are pretty, inexpensive, and extremely versatile. If you are a card maker, quilter, layout artist, or anything in between, you probably have a button hoard! Buttons come in many sizes, styles, shapes, and colors, plus they are easy to store...usually in cute containers! Pull out those bins of buttons and use some of them for your challenge project!

Here is my take on the challenge. I started out with using the Kaisercraft mini 5 frame shadow box. I inked the frame with black ink and sprayed the frame with a variety of colors of glimmer mist and antique gold high impack. Then I added the Antique Sewing pictures by Altered Pages in the frame. The sentiment and the damask fabric is by Canvas Corp. Then I just started embelling the frame....walla!

Supplies: Kaisercraft shadow frame and knob, altered pages viintage sewing trade cards, tattered angels glimmer mists and hgh impact antique gold, canvas corp kraft tag and fabric, stampin up neutrals buttons and twine, Tim Holtz mini dress form die and belt buckle

One talented participant will receive this prize, donated by Altered Pages!
