12 Fun Ways to Use Brads

What a fun week.  I got to research ways to use brads.  Many of these I have used in the past, but I did find some new and fun techniques to try.

Dec. 8th: Sharing My Love of Brads

Hey Crafters!

No, I don't mean Brad Pitt or Bradley Cooper. It's Monday and that means one thing.  What is that again?  Oh right, time for a new challenge.  This week we will be exploring brads.

I will be honest......I love brads.  No, I mean I LOVE brads.  From the moment they 1st hit the market to last time I went to Micheal's.   I am pretty sure that Micheal's has the doors rigged so I cannot leave without a package of brads.

I have brads in all shapes, colors and sizes.  I have fabric and flocked and glitter brads.  I even have a brad maker.  What does this mean?

Dec.5th: Button, Button, Who's Got the Button?

Hey Crafter's, Shirley Pando here. Did you join me this week for the 4 Product Challenge? This week it is all about buttons. We've got to use up all those products we have hoarded collected throughout the years, right??

Check out the projects, below, I made using buttons.

We need your help.

2015 is almost here and that means decisions must be made.  In case you have not noticed the name of this blog is My Creative Life 2014 blog.  Last year we had Use Every Stamp 2013.  So what we will do in 2015?

That is where we need your help.  As we put the finishing touches on the 2015 blog we would LOVE your input on the topics and types of post we will include.  We want you to be part of the process. :)

We have a very brief survey (there are only two questions) for you to complete.  The survey will close on December 8th and the new blog will launch on January 12th.

We thank you for your participation and we look forward to very creative 2015.

Dec 1st 4 Product Challenge: Buttons

Hey Crafters! Shirley, here!

Button, button...who's got the button? Ever play that game when you were younger? It was one of my favorites to play with my three sisters while my mom was busy sewing. Grab the biggest button from the button box and hide it! When they come looking for it you lead them to it by saying, "Warmer" or "Colder" as they walked toward or away from it's hiding place. We could play it for hours, and probably did! Oh such wonderful memories!

I do have a "few" buttons...how about you? Let's get those buttons out and create with them this week. They are one of the products we will use in our 4 Product Challenge.

Check out the short video, below, to see what other products I'll be using.
