I had a hard time just deciding which stamp set I could use so that I could have brads. Sorry it is so dark we are getting another printer soon!
Here's my card:
You mean as the hardware replacement?
The challenge is really to use a non-consumable item (stamp) to replace the hardware. You can do it!
To begin with, think of round things for brads: baseballs, snowballs, Little Pieces, anything that can be punched with a small circle punch like my paw prints... even tiny ladybugs or small letters would work.
Then branch out to other small stamps: tiny flowers, tiny shells, tiny diplomas, stars, hearts, etc
All Wrapped Up has some great tiny shapes.
Look at your sets that have small coordinating images. Crab & Company & Favorite Teddy Bear are great examples.
Cool Cat & Unfrogettable have a cute little bitty crown.
Think of sets that have 3 small images lined up... like the ducks in the set, By Ones & By Twos.
A stamp index really comes in handy for a challenge like this. ;)

I haven't done a challenge in ages and I decided to start back today - it's a tricky one. I may have to dust off my Little Pieces. Thanks for the challenge Jen.

I love this idea. Since Im still fairly new to stamping and dont have many supplies this is a great way to finish off cards and I never thought of it. I hope I get to play we are leaving out of town this afternoon and I have a million things to do. Have fun all and a great memorial day weekend! I cant wait to see the gallery when I get back.
Great Challenge, Jen! I'm working on my 6 X 6 pages for a convention swap I'm in, so I used 'faux flower brads' on the layout. Here's mine: Convention Swap Layout by MrsBoz at Splitcoaststampers
The stamped, punched circles are popped up on dimensionals. TFL

Wonderful challenge, Jen! I usually forget the hardware anyway. I was mostly limited by my right hand being in a cast of sorts where I can use my fingers but not my thumb. Real bummer. Here's my Near the Sea. TFL and I'll be back to view and comment. (My typing is a little slow and prob. lots of typos).
