Good afternoon fellow bloggers. This is my second post for today because it is for a new challenge. Danielle and I have decided to start a challenge using our current inventory......no buying ANYTHING new (except for Maggies, copics and cardstock for stamping) until..........NEXT SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!
This will be most difficult considering all the goodies being introduced, BUT we made a pact and we are sticking to it! This is an all-out effort to use up our inventory.
My craft room is getting smaller and smaller...LOL...and this seems to be a good solution. Anyone else want to join???????
Oh my gosh, that is a HUGE challenge, Christina! Best of luck! I would join, but there is no way I could ever make it that long. I know my own limitations. Just matting cardstock alone would do me in as I'm out of certain colors and need to go shopping! LOVE your card!! The corners and ribbon are so pretty, and Tilda is colored beautifully!
ReplyDeletehugs! Sharon
HI! Crissy, Oh, your Tilda is adorable. Love her black hair. I love this background paper your used so so much, it's absolutely gorgeous and is so well blended with the other paper. your corners are like little jewels, and bring yet another beautiful vintage touch to your card. Job well done on our first ribbon challenge! I love how you used your bow, as if it is holding a little frame.
ReplyDeleteHugs.
Danielle.
I should consider joining. It would do wonders for my budget. :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow...um...can I join the pact after I run to the craft store tomorrow?!? My husband will be soooo happy ;)
ReplyDeleteYour card is STUNNING! Seriously, it is gorgeous! Loooove it!

Your card is stunning Christina....Love the colors. Tilda is colored beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI love your challenge to use something out of your stash before you purchase again....I don't know if I could wait till next summer.....hmmm once I can get my craft supplies unpacked (waiting on hubby to replace flooring) I might try this challenge, would save me some money...Good Luck on your challenge. Right now the challenge will be to stay out of the stores and stop shopping on line.
Hugs~
