More Use it Up #2 samples

Here are three more samples of how to use Hodgepodge Hardware. I still have a lot left so you will probably see more of it in the next use it up challenge. My favorite of the three cards is the one with the daisy flowers and the spiral clips as the center. The Hello card was made for my son who is away at camp this week. The one with the butterflies has the versatility of an “oh no, I forgot (insert name here)’s birthday or just because.

Music camp is over....now I can go back to my corner.

I had so much fun this past week helping out at my church. Every year our Kids Choir puts on a music camp. It is from grades K-5 and this year we had 58 kids sign up. They learn a complete musical, a musical instrument, and do crafts, all in one week. The finale was last night when we put on a show for all the parents/church.


Now that it is over I can go back to my crafty corner. A little over a week ago I posted the second use it up challenge. Well I haven’t stepped foot in my craft corner since I posted the challenge, so it is being extended until next Tuesday.

Thanks for Stopping by.

Use it Up #2

#2 Hodgepodge Hardware

As I was trying to finish using my True Thyme (still have some left), I was inspired to pull out my hodgepodge hardware. So this weeks challenge is to use up my/your hodgepodge hardware. The funny thing is that when these came out I thought of all the things I could do with them. Needless to say I didn’t use it as much as I thought I would so I am pulling it out again to use it up and make space for some of the amazing things Stampin Up has in the new catalog. This challenge is a harder one for me to do because I really don’t know how to use some of the things in the sets, plus I am either out or almost out of the brads.
ETA: This may be a longer challenge than I originally intended. Super busy with making props and doing crafts for our church's music camp.
