This week's Challenge!!!! Challenge #4

Okay, I am so sorry that this is a few hours late. I meant to work on it yesterday but I got side tracked. This week's challenge is one that will help you to clean out your stash a bit. I want you to go through your embellishments, stickers and paper and pull out 3-4 of each that you deem too old or out of style to use. Once you have a few things that you think you will never use, I want you to sit down and actually use a few of them in a creative way. You can do this on a layout or a card or anything else that you can dream up. Try to do several layouts if needed so that you can use up all of the things that you pulled. If by chance you do not use all of them, don't add them back to your stash, pass them on to a friend or organization that can use them.

This is a great way to get yourself using up old supplies and cleaning out supplies that you will never use. It makes room for new products too. It's a Win-Win for you.

Some suggestions, just incase you can't figure out how to use some things:

paint or use paper to cover chipboard
use patterned papers to punch or cut out shapes such as butterflies or flowers.
take stickers and apply cardstock to the back, use popdots to make them stand up.
cut the title or pictures out of page toppers and use as elements on your page
the list can go on and on. Use your imagination and show us your finished project.

In my example I used an older paper pack from Close to My Heart and my coluzzle set. I got this paper pack in my kit when I became a consultant 3 years ago. I used it for everything for a while. This layout was a suggested one from the company (see they really do make everything Faster, Simpler and Easier). I had a lot of fun creating this one, even if I did use someone else's design. I haven't added pictures yet but I marked the photo sizes so that I can add the pictures later this week. Well, I hope you all have fun with this challenge.
