Golden snowflake

 Hello lovely crafters

While searching for inspiration today I found some papers I'd forgotten I had. I know every single one of you reading this will identify with that (for papers also read - stamps, dies, inks, stencils, pens, ribbon, gems, glue, paint and I could go on).

And that is the point of the Shopping our Stash challenge. Let's use what we have!

This week we are asking you to use: SOS #483 - Buttons and bows and...

'Little things mean a lot! Dig deep into your stash and create with old-school favourites like eyelets, brads, ribbons and/or buttons.'

The first thing I found was this snowflake. Previously die cut and then embossed in gold. I added some of the rediscovered papers, gold ribbon, a button and some gold thread. A simple old favourite greeting and it's done. 
I don't often use papers to create with, preferring to start blank and create with ink so it begs the question, why did (do) I buy them? Answers on a postcard...

Lets see what you've been hoarding. Join in our challenge which runs for the next two weeks. Come and see what the rest of the team was inspired to create. 


I'm also hopping over to the Snippets Playground for a run around and maybe a sneaky drink in the treehouse. 
Everything I've used here is snippets or stash. 



Thanks for visiting, enjoy your day. x

    A great SOS card - I can identify with all of your remarks, so mush stash and yet still more keeps turning up to add to it. Wonder who keeps ordering 'stuff' 🤣🤣🤣

    A lovely card Alison - and so good to see you in the snippets Playground with us! Love the huge golden snowflake and those papers are very pretty. I realised I couldn't find the box containing all my stencils yesterday - Len had to help to check every single one, to mo avail. Later on I had a lightbulb moment and found them in a box we'd checked, underneath some Christmas braid - totally unmarked as being in there on the box label of course. Sigh.

    Hugs
