stashbusters 2013


Starting with this challenge, the prompts will now be open for two weeks! Happy April!
I've decided to host a bi-weekly (twice a month) challenge thread here at Two Peas. The more you play, the more chances you have to win a small scrapping goody from me (and some others who are donating prizes!!) and the more pages you will get done!

Please link up your creation in this thread for a chance to win and I will also have a challenge box you can check during the upload process.
Look for **Stash Busters Challenge**

**You can combine all these prompts. Each prompt you use is good for one chance to win...so use 3 prompts on one layout = 3 chances to win!***

We all like to get comments on our pages so if you are playing along please try to find the time to return the favor!

Prompt #2

Use your scraps!

Where do you store your scraps? I have mine in a 2 gallon ziplock bag, organized by color. When it's bursting, that means I have too many!
Over these next two weeks, I want you to go through your scraps and pull at 3 pieces to use them on a page or a card. While you go through them, get rid of the ones you know you will never miss.

Some ideas:
Punch shapes out of your scraps (butterflies, circles, borders)

Cut into strips and layer behind a photo.

I love this page by Elizabeth Kartchner.
