   Tim Holtz Key Holes  

   Key Holes      Take a peek through these portals of the past.  I continue to be inspired by the nostalgia of elements of the past. These metal keyholes can be used on your pages, cards, mini books, home decor, and even jewelry to add that touch of intrigue.  Each design has dimensional detailing with a classic vintage style. Use along with idea-ology Word Keys to unlock your inner creativity.   5 keyholes of varying design and antique finishes (nickel, brass and copper) with 10 long fasteners.   $8.00

      $7.49         

 

   Washers   $3.50  It's no secret I love adding metal hardware to my projects.  I'm always looking for elements that I can incorporate with my other idea-ology products.  Washers are so simple, et so effective I think - use them along with idea-ology Long Fasteners to create a faux rivet.  Simply insert a Long Fastener through the slot in the Washer and secure it to your project.  Not only will this look more industrial, but it also provides extra durability.  Pretty cool find don't you think?   48 washers (16 of each finish - nickel, brass and copper)   

      $2.99               

 

 

    Snaps     $4.00           Attaching elements to your project has just gotten easier - in fact you could say it's a "snap"!  All jokes aside these 2-part embellishments couldn't be easier to use.  With a simple hole punch and these classic snaps, you can secure layers of paper, transparencies, ribbons and more.  Use them for book closures, as photo mounts, and any other time you want to attach something in a snap.   24 snaps (8 of each finish - nickel, brass and copper)   

    $3.49

      Numerals

I think numbers have such character and meaning. Some of us find luck in numbers, or maybe they have significance for an age or a year in your life, perhaps they drum up memories of the house you grew up in.
