Craft Hoarders Anonymous Blog Hop - BUTTONS!

Altered Pages Design Team 
has joined the
Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog 
Design Team for Challenge #14 
Button It in a UP 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!  You can participate in the Craft Hoarders Challenge and win a prize from this month's sponsors!

I don't know about you but you all know how much I love buttons and do I ever have a stash of buttons....  Yes, that is a breadbox FULL of buttons... and I have some overflow in a cardboard box now too!   Now I have to say I didn't buy them all.  Some are from my grandma, some from my Mom and well, yes, I did buy the rest ;)

#8 - Button Ornament 001

And here is my take on the button challenge....


I thought it would be fun to switch things up a bit and incorporate the buttons as various parts of the collage - I used white buttons for the cloud and eggs in the basket and shades of brown for the tree branch that the fabric tissue paper nest is resting on!


I love the dimension that the buttons bring to the show....



Now for a bit of added fun...
would you like to win this collage?  
Simply leave a comment telling us all if you're a button hoarder too!    
You have until 8-25-14 to comment.

Good Luck 
and
join in the challenge fun if you're a button hoarder too!

    truthfully I'm not a button person or hoarder .... I hoard lots of other things like special brads, self sticking gems (can't get enough of them) but not buttons. your collage is very creative using the buttons to make a cloud is terrific!

    Love your button bird nest, Roni. Such a clever use of buttons. Of course, I would not want to be the bird that laid those button eggs! LOL

    What a wonderful use of materials! Really a charming piece. I'm not really a button hoarder - but I have quite a stash of them to use on pieces when they're needed. I've decided to never say I "hoard" anything - because if that's true, that means I hoard EVERYTHING and that's just depressing!

    Great theme interpretation!

    Yes, I hoard buttons. I save them from old clothes and use them in my art. Your button wall hanging is fabulous. I love it. The nest adds that added umpf.

    I love buttons, too, so this challenge was right up my alley! I absolutely love the button cloud and egg basket. It's a beautiful canvas. Thanks for hopping with us at Craft Hoarders Anonymous!

    The first step is admission: I AM a button hoarder...There, I admitted it! But not like you! However, I may be your match on the sewing ephemera. I am a HUGE fan of that, so your canvas is right up my alley! Do you need more patterns? Perhaps we can make a trade... Anyway, I would proudly display your canvas in my home, as it has all the elements I adore. I am truly inspired by your book, which is probably my first art book I owned.

    Fantastic work, very creative I love everything about this and your button box is a real treasure. I'm a hoarder of all things crafty, buttons, bling, papers, etc. My craft room isn't big enough to hold all of my toys.
