Challenge #198 - Use Old Stash!

My turn!  So many new pretty scrappy things are released all the time to tempt us, 

but I want to see some OLD stash you forgot about, or
have been hoarding or saving because it's too pretty to use!
 Or maybe it's not pretty enough to use?  

Well~ dig it out and use it up anyway!
(What better way to make room for new goodies???)

Karrie
One of my favourite tricks to use up old stash is do some new techniques
and put it together with vintage photos.
My background paper is MME from 2007.  "Bohemian" and the "29th St Market"

lines had super thick cardstock that is perfect for doing mixed media on!

Shirley

I agree Karrie!  I had no trouble at all finding lots of scraps of patterned paper & buttons to create the layout below.

Lori

I have a ton of old stash that I have been trying to work through! I can't get rid of any of it, because I just may need it one day... Right?! The papers on this card are from a company that is no longer in business and the copyright says 2006. I have hoarded this piece of reindeer paper since then, because it was just too cute to use up!

I made this kit using the Day of the Dead paper collection from Moxxie. It is perfect for candies or little treats. 

Majo

I created an ATB with a lot of Sizzix Dies and Tim Holtz stamps. The background is painted with distress inks.

... just to show you all 4 sides of the cube ...

Here is a Halloween page I am finally scrapping from 2011 of my best friend's daughter!

Challenge #197 - Die Cuts and/or Punches

Hello everyone!!! Die Cuts and/or Punches are the theme for our challenge. You can use these alone or combined in any way for your creation. Here is our inspiration...

Martha Lucia, I combined two different die cuts. The branches are called Bamboo Sticks and the White Die Cut is Spring Window. both from DieNamites. I used distress ink to create the sunset behind of the window and whisper white cardstock for the layers of card.

Majo

I used the new Sizzix dies for my card. I added some lace, a metal snowflake and a sentiment from Waltzing Mouse Stamps.

Julia

I used my spellbinders dies to cut out some of the leaves that I had stamped on a scrap piece of paper and the scalloped piece on the lower left corner.

Renee



Amanda

I used my Creative Memories border punch for the top and bottom borders on this layout.

Challenge # 196 Thankful

Hello everyone!  Tammy here with my first challenge of the fall.  My theme this week is Thankful! 

It could be something or someone you are thankful for, or it could be the colors for the season of thanks - autumn ...there are lots of possibilities.  Our DT has created some wonderful inspiration for you this week and we cannot wait to see what you come up with.

Tammy 

I received the Stampin Up paper pumpking set for September but I didn't really like the actual project so I decided to play with it a little bit for some cards~!

Karrie

Shirley

For me I had so many thoughts on what being "Thankful" could relate to.  I decided for this challenge I would pick something tangible that I love and am always thankful for and that is the inspiration that nature provides at this time of year.  

Lori


Amanda

So thankful for this beautiful baby girl!
