Hello Friends! Today we start a new challenge over at Craft Hoarders Anonymous. For this challenge we are doing something alittle different.......the Craft Hoarders Anonymous DT is doing a blog hop with the Altered Pages Design Team!! So here is all the details about the challenge and the 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!
One talented participant will receive this prize, donated by Altered Pages from the Craft Hoarders Anonymouse Blog! Plus there is a second prize to win! Leaving comments during the AlteredPages and Craft Hoarders blog hop allows you to be entered into a random drawing for an AlteredPages Blog Gift - a Set of Japanese Oil Pastels and a huge Ephemera package.
ALTERING YOUR CREATIVITY, that's what we believe in at AlteredPages.com. Our job is to supply you with inspiration and the tools to make it happen. We enjoy the creative process of all skill levels and mediums, so dive in and have fun with this challenge. Both Design Teams are creating inspiring works to spark you into creating too! Grab those bins and boxes, drag out your stash and let's GO.

Here is my project using some cool products from Altered Pages! The fun flowers are made from some sewing pattern-type tissue paper. The image and the tissue paper are from Altered Pages. I used my Silhouette to cut out the frame and the dress form. I used some hoarded buttons and charms, too!
Be sure to visit all the Craft Hoarders Anonymous Design Team Members to see the fabulous projects they made!
Love how you used pattern tissue to create the flowers for your adorable project!!! Simply gorgeous!!! <3

So clever to use the pattern tissue paper for flowers and the sewing items that coordinate so well with the photo.

This is so perfectly done. It could be a tribute to someone's Grandma! (My great grandma sewed so much for me, even an Easter coat!)

Such a lovely framed piece, I love the cute sewing embellishments and tissue paper flowers embellishing it and how you left the chipboard plain.
