Challenge #180 Anything Goes

Welcome to a new week, and a new Challenge  at Use Your Stuff!

I hope you had fun with our Spring Fling Blog Hop last week.

Knowing that everyone was busy with the hop last week, I picked this weeks

challenge to be an "anything goes" challenge.  It's simple, it's easy, and whatever

you create for other challenges this week, just add us onto it!

Our daughter, Sarah is graduating from 8th grade this June, and I 

was asked to make the invitations for their graduation party.

Below is an idea of something I came up with this morning.

The word art on the front represents some of the "moments"

their class has had during their 9 years together at Trinity.

Many of them, have been together since Kindergarten, so it's

bitter sweet to see some of them going their seperate ways

as they all did not choose the same high school to attend.

I hope you enjoy the invitation, and it gives you some inspiration!

Have a great week, and we look foward to seeing what you create!

Please use the Mr Linky below to upload your creation~!

Challenge #179 - Paper Strips

Hello everyone! Lori here and I am excited to be hosting my first challenge here on the blog this week!

 My challenge for you is to use paper strips on your project. Thin strips or thick strips, a lot of strips or just a few - it's up to you.  We all have lots of paper scraps laying around just begging to be used, so let's put those scraps to use on our projects!
 

Lori
 I stacked my paper strips to create a sort of mat for my photo to sit on.

 Michelle Looi - Tim Holtz paper collection  which I can't bear to part with them, and I made a Christmas card

Karrie

This challenge was perfect as I recently cleaned out my scrap paper bin. 

I found all these strips/borders/cutoffs, so used them to create this background 

for a page about DGS's 1st school pic.

Julia

This challenge allowed me to use up some scraps from a recent kit that I put together.

I used a sketch, like I usually do, as a starting point.

Martha Lucia
For this Challenge I created a card with paper strips of Black and White Designer Paper from Ki Paper Pad and some embellishments that I made using Makin's Clay in two different tones. A CAS model that I love!

Renee

For this challenge, I used several bright strips to make a background patterned paper to highlight the bright colors that I used in my coloring.

Amanda

I love using up scraps so this challenge was perfect!
