The white on white with just a titch of blue really made this card so elegant!

These ornaments are adorable and a really great way to use up those Christmas DP scraps!

The coloring on this image is fabulous as well as how it matched the DP almost perfectly

Challenge #203 - It's Christmas Time

Hello Everyone

Shirley here with a timely challenge, since Christmas is almost on our doorstep once again!  Where does the time go but? Seriously I am sure it was only Christmas time a couple of months ago!!  I wanted to keep my challenge very simple this month as it is such a busy time for everyone.  So "Christmas" is the theme and all you need to do is create something using that theme.  Whether it be a card, a layout or something off the page!

I have choosen to make an OTP project this challenge and have created a quick & rather simple little Christmas angel using a magnolia stamp, two different doilies (one store brought the other a Cheery Lynn die), some Stampin' Up inks and some bling!  Hope you like her.

 Here is my idea for tagging Christmas Gifts that are sooo big regular tags get lost

 (and using up old stash at the same time!!)

Majo

A Stencil for the background and then just lots of layers with Tim Holtz dies :)

Lori

It was hard for me to decide what to do for this challenge - tags, a Christmas layout, more Christmas cards. In the end, my need for more Christmas cards won out!

Amanda

I had tons of cards to make this year and this is one design I used.

Now don't forget to link up below so we can all see your gorgeous creations too.  Have fun and happy creating!

Challenge #202 - Stamping

Hi everyone! Amanda here with this week's challenge!
There are so many options for stamping now and stamps can really add 

something special to a card or layout or any other project! I find at this time of year I am constantly using stamps, especially sentiments, for Christmas cards.

Majo

I used a variety of stamps for my Christmas Card.
The cat is from Katzelkraft, the tree, the stars and the woodgrain background are Darkroom Door stamps, the Music Sheet is made by Rubber Dance Stamps, the bow tie and the sentiment stickers are from Tim Holtz.  

Martha Lucia
stamping with Versamark and gold embossing powder for a photo frame. I used Dreams stamp from Neat & Tangled.

Lori

Renee

For this challenge, I stamped my sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed with Black Ultra thick embossing powder to make it really pop against the patterned papers,

Show us your stamped projects!

Challenge #201 - Lots of Layers

Happy Monday everyone! The start of a new week means a new challenge here at Use Your Stuff. This week I am challenging you to make a project with lots of layers on it.

Lori
I have made a card for my project, and I have layered it up using these pretty papers from Fancy Pants.


 

Karrie

A page about my hubby's favourite guitar |(out of his 7) the Taylor.

 The layers I have;  my background page is gessoed, misted, stencilled, inked, stamped, painted, 

and also added layers of papers, washi, diecuts, flowers and brads!
 

Shirley

I have been waiting for just the right layout to come so I could scrapbook this photo of my gorgeous daughter at a friends wedding last year.

Amanda 

I used lots of layers to create this card for a friend of ours who loves fishing!
