'U is for Unused Stash'
We want to you use something that you haven't used before on your projects this time...it can be something you've been saving for a special card...you know...only taking it out occasionally to admire/stroke...or something you've just bought...there are lots of lovely new Christmas collections being released at the moment...or maybe there's something in your stash that you have for absolutely ages but have never got around to using...now is your chance!
We have two fabulous sponsors for this challenge...as it's our first challenge of the month, we have Simon Says Stamp:
The prize is a $15 gift certificate to spend in the amazing Simon Says Stamp store!
And...if that's not enough...we are excited to welcome a new sponsor to our challenges...Bugaboo Stamps!
The prize from Bugaboo Stamps is 7 free digis of the winner's choice...wowee!!!
Not only that...but we're welcoming two of the lovely Bugaboo DT as guest designers for this challenge...actually, it's a swap...we've sent them Carissa & Miria...so if you want to check out their DT cards for this challenge, you'll need to hop over to the Bugaboo Challenge blog...but wait...not before you've checked out the eye candy on here! lol We also have two more lovely guest designers joining us...Jessica & Linda...they won GD spots with us on Feline Playful's Big Blog Party!
