flower power


Hello! I've been shoveling out my craft area and getting rid of lots and lots of stuff. I have got to get organized! In my cleaning, I found an idea folder and inside was this cute little scrapbook page from a magazine (probably Simple Scrapbooks) with this adorable hardware flower on it. So true to form, I copied it for a card. Isn't this a fun way to use those oblong clips in the SU hodgepodge kits that were retired? Love this!

Thanks for stopping by!
Karen


recipe -
stamps: to risk (verve stamps)
ink: chocolate chip

  4. Karen, when you are done shoveling in your craft room, please bring your shovel and come over to my house!! I desperately need to get myself organized as well. Maybe you will motivate me to do it!!! It's just so hard to imagine that over the years you collect so much stuff!!! Anyway, I love your card. Those metal clips made a great flower. Have a wonderful day!! Hug,Cathy

  5. OMG what an AWESOME idea!!!
    Unfortunately I don't have a hodgepodge kit, neither I know what it is lol. Hopefully I'll find something around, suitable for recycling, so I can try this too :)
