All Good Things.............

Hey there all of our dear friends and challenge enthusiasts. It is with a heavy heart that I am here to announce on behalf of the design team that Use Your Stuff will be closing our blog as of December 31st, 2023.

On behalf of our current Design Team and all of our team members in the past, we thank you so very very much for being with us every challenge and sharing with us your joy and love of creating. We have been so proud to have been here to help stimulate your creativity and crafting!

We do have a challenge today and then we have a final challenge next week that will go for all of December that will co-ordinate with Double Trouble which we are super excited for!

We wish you nothing but love and joy going forward and we look forward to still seeing many of you on your blogs and in other challenges.

#480- Shine Bright

Shine Bright - Use bling or something that gives off light.

You can also highlight items that give off light in real-life lamps, twinkle lights, sun, etc.

I used some stickles on my snowflakes to give them some sparkle
along with a gem sticker in the center of each one.

Haven

I went with some almost dried-out stickles in blue and small clear rhinestones around the star, along the top of the photos, and a larger one on the camera lens. I also used some puffy stars as those give off light in real life

This cool light up cupcake card was taught to me by instructor, Meghann Andrew!

#493- Hand draw lines

Hi everyone! We have such a simple challenge for you this week! We just want to see some hand-drawn lines on your project! It could be a faux border, a squiggle, part of a design, a mat around a picture, lots of possibilities. Let's see where the design team went with this one!

Gail

I drew the dashed border around the edge...
