Challenge #68: Anything Goes!!

Hello Users!

This week at Use It Tuesday, we have one of our favorite challenges for you....

ANYTHING GOES!!

***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

Please link your creation using Inlinkz by noon EST on Friday 6 December. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE068 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link so we can find your creation. (Linking tips are at the bottom of the post!)

Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use It Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

The Design Team has outdone themselves this week. Here's some great inspiration to get you started:

Rachel made a box hanging calendar that can be paired with another gift. She used scraps from a card to make the box and some previously used ribbon to complete her project. 

Michele made this sweet little layout using a yellow flair button that is about 1 year old, plus some 2 year old Authentique word stickers that have been used for the first time!

Nicole used some old papers and stamps for this layout. Her stamps aren't always her "go to" accessory when she's scrapbooking, so this was out of the ordinary for her. Both the tag and the cheesin' phrase are stamped and cut out to create an adorable embellishment!

Jessica A made this super adorable album. The twine on the front is the oldest accessory on the project, having been in her crafty stash for over a year.

Valentina got a start on her Christmas presents. This jar filled with salt and herbs is decorated with a label made with an un-inked stamp she hasn't used yet. Also from her stash are the fabric pieces, recycled from a flower bouquet.

Jessica B started this layout (are you ready) THREE YEARS AGO!! It just wasn't working, so she set it aside until a fresh perspective convinced her to finish it off. She selected new pictures that jump started her inspiration.

Tracy prepared for a "gender unknown" birth a couple of years ago by stocking up on papers for both boy and girl. The girl ones got used...the boy papers sat for awhile until this cutie came along, ready to be scrapbooked! 

Tammy found this santa image and patterned paper in her craft stash from a couple of years ago. She added some older sequins and twine, and a few perfect scraps to come up with this beautiful Christmas card!

 
Heather scrapped pictures of her daughter from almost 9 months ago using elements from a digital kit that have been in her electronic stash for probably six years! The flowers and sentiment both come from that kit.

Becky made this adorable card with her Pebbles collection she's had for more than a year. The sad truth? She keeps buying it! She just loves it too much. The stick pinks have also been in the craft stash for a long time.

And our last Designer for this challenge is our Guest Designer, Sandi. Sandi won our Creatures challenge a few weeks ago and is back this challenge with another gorgeous creation. All the papers in her project are from her scrap pile. The twine was found at a resale shop three years ago and the sentiment was in a drawer with some other odds and ends. She doesn't even own that stamp set anymore!

Thanks for playing along with us, Sandi!

We can't wait to see what you create! Now go clean up that stash and Use It!!

We loved all the fabulous entry you "stuck" to our blog post using the incredibly handy InLinkz tool.

And, InLinkz did it's incredibly handy magic and chose this fabulous entry as our "Stick It" winner. Congratulations to Lizzie R!!!

 

 

Lizzie found some old sticky pink rhinestones to put the finishing touches on her gorgeous card.

Lizzie, here is the Use It Tuesday winner's badge for your blog.
Hope to see you soon as our Guest Designer.

And, the Design Team has looked over this week's entries and chosen these two fabulous creations for this week's Top 2 pick!

Chana wowed us with her patience to "stick" those pearls onto the front of her card. Beautiful! Chana used both some ribbon that has been around her craft stash for awhile and the normally discarded pieces of a punch. Great idea!

And regular "User" Stacia Brandt had us in love with her sweet and colorful layout. She pulled those alphabet stickers out of her stash in order to make this masterpiece!

Congratulations to you both. Here is the Top 2 Pick badge for your blog.

Thanks for playing!!

Our next challenge is up tomorrow. Come on back and check it out!

Challenge #67: Stick It!

Hello Users!
I love the theme for this challenge...time to use up your sticky stuff!!
We are talking stickers, tape, anything with adhesive!!  

***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

Please link your creation using Inlinkz by noon EST on Friday 22 November. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE067 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link so we can find your creation. (Linking tips are at the bottom of the post!)

Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use It Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:

Valentina made this darling card using her stashed stickers!  That felt flower and candy cane perfectly accent this old time inspired card.  As a bonus, she also used up some old papers.  

Nicole is rocking the fall season by using her old Doodlebug stickers to make this block layout!  Love the happy banner, which is also a sticker!

Tammy took the challenge literally and not only used adhesive embellishments like the sticky mesh, but counted her glue toward that challenge!  She used glossy accents and double sided tape to hold that ribbon.  We say awesome way to interpret it!

Jessica A made quite the masterpiece with this amazing wall display!  Wow...she sure stuck it to the wall!  We love her creation made with her hoarded vinyl and Silhouette Cameo.

Tracy scrapbooked this darling picture using a kit she won at a crop...4 years ago!  Don't we all have treasures we won but have yet to put to good use?  She was happy the stickers still stuck and so are we!  

Jessica B was inspired to used up this 3 year old patterned paper with perfectly matching stickers for our challenge!  We think it could not have turned out better!

Michele's used her hoarded thickers (admit it...you have some too!) and stickers from an old sticker sheet she had in her craft room.  This layout is ALMOST as cute that little doll!  ;)

Rachel knocked it out of the snowy night sky with this gorgeous card.  She used her hoarded silver adhesive glitter paper, wax, glitter spray, embossing powder and adhesive rhinestones!

Becky used her washi tape to make that stunning background!  Like many of us, her washi tape addiction lead to one too many rolls!  And we love that double-side title...it made us smile!

And we are thrilled to have Holly as our guest designer this week!!  Look at this darling tag with her hoarded washi tape.  So festive and cute!  Thanks for designing with us, Holly!

We can't wait to see what you create! Now go Use It!!
