SHOPPING OUR STASH/JINGLE BELLES BONUS CHALLENGE!



Hi there! We have a bonus challenge for you at SHOPPING OUR STASH! We are pairing up with the gals from the JINGLE BELLES CHALLENGE! That means you not only have a chance to make a Christmas card and get yourself ahead of the holiday rush, you also have a couple challenges to link it to! LOL! The only catch is that you have to use something in your stash that you've had for at least a year, and let us know what it is! Here's the card I made:


 Here is the inside:

The paper, ink, embossing powder, ribbon and chipboard I've had in my stash for at least 4 years. And it felt good using up a bit more of that paper I'm hoarding! (cough) 

I hope you get the chance to play along at both Shopping Our Stash and Jingle Belles! Both links will be open until Wednesday, September 23rd until 6 PM. I can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day!

  1. Hoarding? Stampers? Nah, who does that? Was it the green paper on the front?, because I'd hoard that, too. :) Cute tag, too!

  6. Not a problem... the vast majority of my Christmas stash is far older than just a year! Love your card, the items may be old, but they look new here! ;)
