August 2016 Challenge #2

Challenge #2 for August 2016 - Outside the Stash!

I'd like you to incorporate something non-scrapbook stash related to your project.

Did you notice the gorgeously thick felt and the thick handmade paper in our inspiration kit? These are not usually items that we find in our everyday paper scrapbooking stash.

So follow its lead and find something from outside your own scrapbooking stash to include on your project.


Leslie used a piece of birch bark to decorate her custom mini-book! Link HERE for a peek inside

Susanne went outside her stash but stayed inside the house. She transformed her found item into an easily useable part of this gift box "decor"ation - can you spot what item it is?

Kelly used an item destined for the trash in her page.

Don't forget that we love it when you share your creations with us over at our Link-Up page or maybe you'd like to hold onto something to share in the Member Blog Hop on the 24th. :-)
