Whenever there's a sale at the LSS, I would head for the tools section. It just seems like money is better spent on something you can use hundreds of times like a cool punch. But therein lies a problem.
Tools take up space. And if you want to be neat and tidy, you'll have your tools tucked away. Totally out of sight. And you know what they say...out of sight, out of mind...*LOL*
Glad I "found" my Tim Holtz texture hammer. These brads got pretty hammered...*winks* What tools do you have neatly tucked away? Tell me. So I don't feel so bad about keeping mine in a dark dusty corner...*LOL*

Supplies: Graphic 45 patterned papers, Prima canvas letters, Ranger distress inks, crackle paint, stickles, Making Memories brads, twine, butterfly bling.

I love the hammered brads! And the crackle texture is really neat - I just got some paint to try for that :) What tools am I hiding? My fringe scissors, since they don't fit on my desk holder...
I have my punches in a basket because If I don't have them close I just don't use them!! Love your card a nd the pretty butterfly is perfect! Thanks for joining in at frosted designs this challenge! Xx
Totally agree with you that its better to spend on a tool than an embellishment or paper!
Wida 's card is amazingly beautiful
I'm not familiar with the texture hammer- sounds intriguing! I love what you did with it!
I love what you did with the hammer.Congrats to the winner.well deserved.
Gorgeous card Yvonne. Love all the textures. Its sometimes good to have not many tools...lol.
Beautiful card!!! Love the pops of blue!!! I've got a basket full of tools, just need to find it and dust them off!!!
Awesome card!!! I have hardly any tools actually... just some punches... about 5. I like them! Those brads look super super duper cool - I'd use those for sure!!!
Wow! This is just absolutely gorgeous!
Cool idea with the brads! My eyelet setter can't be seen for dust LOL...
Oh, cool card, Yvonne! Love the kraft and vintage postcard image, and love the alpha sentiment. And how cool the banging looks on those brads. What a great touch. :)
LOVE this card, Yvonne! And those hammered brads - too funny. ;) THey do look cool though!

SUPER pretty card--LOVE the layered butterfly...and I LOVE your textured brads! Totally need to get one of those hammers! I've got a brand new KNK (KlickNKut die cutting machine) sitting on my desk...never used it! I've had it for over three months! So no worries--you are not the only one!!!
