Well a stapler may not be a design staple but you know I just can't resist having a little fun with titles for these challenges. ;) Today I'm asking you to pull out your staplers and have a little papercrafting fun. I haven't been using mine as much lately and as I know...almost everyone should have one...I thought it would be a great challenge. So staple some embellishments, some paper, transparencies or simply just accent a design element. Regular office staplers are great but you can also use designer style staples if you happen to own a Fastenator or other such contraption. Have fun with it and be creative! I loved all the fabulous ideas from the paint challenge last week!
Please remember to put WT151 in your keywords section and post a link back here so that we can all see your work! Remember this is a challenge not a contest. Upload as many samples as you wish for as long as you wish but please use new samples created for this challenge.
Hope to try after work, but I'll be thinking of a design all day at my desk (my stapler will remind me!!!)

I am off to the school this morning to tally science fair scores,then off to lunch with friends, so I will have to wait to get started! My staples have been neglected as of late, so I am excited to do this challenge!

ok, I am on it...I use staples a lot when I have no better way to really adhere something to mmy card, so I will try to come up with a more inventive use for them, thanks Julia!

I think I say this nearly every week...but Julia, you ROCK!! I have the Fastenator and I NEVER use it...THAT IS WHY I LOVE THIS CHALLENGE!!! Off to play and thanks again for yet ANOTHER great challenge!!!
I haven't used staples in awhile on a card. I always get negative feedback from DS (he's 19). But what do guys know?
LOL I agree Melody! What DO they know? ;) My hubby HATES my freestyle stitching and now he doesn't like the buttons I'm using. "when did you ever get a card in the mail with a button on it? " I just go ahead and do my thing.
Sold my Fastenator at the last garage sale, never could get the hang of that thing...will have to drag out the regular stapler and see what I can come up with, lol!
Hi everyone! Julia, I love this challenge! I finally got to use my Fastenator! However, I advise everyone to wear shoes while using this tool and NOT to accidently drop the staples on the floor! LOL! OUCH!@%$%$&&^*&^
