An itsy bitsy dent - but a dent in my stash nevertheless!This month on the  forums I am hosting a Use Your Stash challenge and that is what I hope you all are doing ! You can mix the old with the new making it creative awesome-ness!  So no more  hoarding -  use it!

One of  my  most favorite collections of  all time is  Pixie Glen - designed by Jodie Lee for Prima Marketing.  It was one of the last  collections where fuzzy cutting was an  absolute must  - and the soft blues and  pinks-  just  my favorite  colors.  

This box and tag is a gift both made using the Pixie Glen Collection and  a lot of  other  old yummy  goodies - A stick pin from my stash, flowers I have had  forever,  bling that  I have been hoarding, and  resin pieces that were handmade by me  from my stash.  So easily  I have met the use three old things criteria for the challenge !  

So come  play along! Take  out those  old  goodies -  time  to use  not  hoard and  lets  see what you can create !

Stamp It - Fussy Fun Challenge

Great News!  We have  started a monthly challenge  on the  Forums which will run from the  15th  of each month to the the  14th of  the  following month.  The  one  requirement, and  yes there will be  more is  to   stamp! Whether rubber, acrylic or  digital  stamp its  time  we  get  to using  our  collection of  stamps.

Here  is  my  inspiration  card  to  inspire you :

Paper  is  from  the  Pixie  Glen  Collection by Prima, flowers are hadmade  and   from Flying Unicorn,  stamp image  is a  digital Wee Stamps  designed  by Sylvia Zet.  

For the  handmade spiral  flowers  cut   then  on  heave  patterned paper or  carstock and   run them  through  your  paper crimper a  few  times  to soften  the  paper and  make  them easier to  roll.  The  final step  is  use  your stylus  to  smooth out the  crimps and then roll . 

Right  click and  save the spiral  roses to your computer. Use straight or decorative scissors to attach   different  effects.
