Challenge #2 Sightings!

We have had an impressive response to our second challenge! Sami and I are thrilled to know we are not the only paper hoarders out there! :)

You still have time play! Just link up to the challenge post by Friday! Remember, the challenge is to make something with your hoarded paper (and we KNOW you have it!). And you don't need a blog to play! You can link up to your online gallery. :)

We will randomly choose a "winner" on Saturday and that person will have the opportunity to be a guest designer for an upcoming challenge.

Here are a few cards that were entered this week:

Dianne E.


Amy M.


Mary G.


Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for the rest of the week! Remember to Use It! :)

Challenge #2

Our challenge this week is near and dear to our hearts. We want you to cut into that piece of pretty, pretty patterned paper you have been hoarding and actually make something with it! Cards, scrapbook pages, 3D or altered items! We don't care! Just use it!

**breathe in, breathe out**
You can do it!

Please link your creation using Mr. Linky by Friday March 4th. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE001 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link too 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 playing along.

One lucky participant will be chosen randomly to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:

On this card Samantha cut into some of her much loved Stampin' UP patterned papers.



And Siobhan used her DCWV Rockstar mat pack...that she has owned for longer than she cares to admit! ;)

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