Write a Friend

Today is the day I am posting my card for our Challenge Your Stash group on SCS.  This is our 60th month of de-stash, so we just finished our 5th year of challenges.  AND--we will be back in 2022 as I know I have many, many items in my stash that I can use and love the fun challenges!

The premise is to create a card or something else that uses only items that are in your own stamp room--nothing new is to be purchased.  The hostess each month posts their challenge to the group. Each person in the group creates their card with their own image, their own papers, their own embellishments with their own supplies--using up items from their own stash!  The card can be for any occasion and each person is encouraged to send the card on its way to someone so it can be admired.  It is a way for us to step out of the box a bit and create something that follows a challenge--isn't that what a challenge is supposed to be.  And--no money is spent as all items are to be already available in each of own stamping spaces.

Lisa posted our December challenge--I see it is National Write a Friend month. Create a card where you can easily write a note to a friend

I used another stamp set from Unity this month called Chapter One.  I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers. I layered the image on some panels from  Stampin' Up's 6x6 patterned paper pack called Have a Cuppa.  I think it is such a fun pack!  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I added some Stampin' Up Pool Party Shimer Ribbon along with some enamel dots for the final touch.

Here is the inside of my card:

If you check some of the blogs on my sidebar, you may find others who have posted their cards in the next few days. There may be more posted in the thread on SCS, so you might want to check out the link here.  We also have a keyword for the SCS Gallery--it is CYSDEC.  You might see many cards there if you do a search.  They probably will be posted today or in the next few days.

I hope you enjoyed my card and I know I am excited to check out what my other hoarders, I mean stash reducers have made!  Thanks for stopping by today!  For January, Lisa is up for our challenge.  Be sure to check back to see what we create then!
