Hardware? I think so!

Wow, March already? This year is flying by fast!

Today I am a guest designer for Scrapbook Steals on the Scrapbook Steals Blog. I was asked to make some projects using today's steal, We R Memory Keepers Hardware sets. At first I was hesitant because I don't always use hardware on my projects... but I'm glad I said yes! I just LOVE the end results!

My friend has been asking me for a recipe box and matching paper bag album since before Christmas... so FINALLY I was able to whip them up for her.

I used some of my new distress crackle paint along with the BEAUTIFUL Generations paper by Simple Stories.

I especially loved the little nameplates in this hardware set. I added glossy accents to give them a more dimensional look.

My friend loved her gifts. The rustic look matched her home decor perfectly! I think the hardware gave these projects a perfect finishing touch!

Don't forget to stop by the Scrapbook Steals site today to pick up some hardware for yourself!
