Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge 14…and a blog hop with Altered Pages!

It's time for another challenge at

Challenge 14:
                                                                       Button it Up!
     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!

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.

This is my creation.
An art journal page created on a base of canvas cloth.
The images, stamps, tag and sewing tissue paper are all from Altered Pages.

Glimmer mist and burlap are from Canvas Corp.
I love how the Glimmer mist from Tattered Angels covers the Modeling Paste.

Buttons from my very large stash.

Close up of some of the paste colored with the mist and the top of the tag that I cut off and then sewed onto the bottom or the page.
Love the combination of fabric, paper, paste and buttons.

Some of the collage images used
all from Altered Pages.

Supplies:
Pattern paper, collage images, tag and stamps: Altered Pages
Burlap, Glimmer Mist: Canvas Corp
Gesso, Modeling Paste: Liquitex
Ink: Ranger

Christy, this is so fabulous. I love the way you aged/distressed the images. Using the pattern piece as a layer along with the laser dress form die cut is just perfect. You put so many wonderful details and embellies in this page. I just love it!
