Here is my recipe:

For the Copic challenge I used the following Copic colors:

B00, B02, B12, B14, BG02, E00, E13, E15, E19, E25, E29, Y13, RV13, YG13, YR16

For the Cricut Challenge:
Cartridges Used
Forever Young
Holiday Cakes
George & Basic Shapes
Cupcakes Lite

I used the Forever Young Cartridge and used my Fit To Page

function to create the scalloped yellow background piece.

I used the Holiday Cakes cartridge for the floral border

George and Basic Shapes for the Patterned Paper Circle.

Cupcakes Lite Cartridge for the “Cutie Pie” title.

For the Sketch Challenge:

We had to follow this sketch.

And of course for our challenge here this week at CWC: We had to use stuff in our stash that we’ve had for at least a year. The patterned paper from Kaiser is almost two years old.

Each day of the week they have a new challenge at Simply Scrapping:

Okay here are a few details on my layout:

This is a pic of all the stuff in my stash that I used that I have had for over a year…some WAY OVER…lol! BTW…the Sizzix die that is still in the package…I bought it on clearance for a couple bucks a few years back and OPENED IT FOR THIS PROJECT….HOW SAD…lol!

I used some Basic Grey – Stella Ruby patterned paper. This collection came out roughly almost 4 years ago!!!
I used my Quickutz Damask border die that is over two years old
My two Sizzix Dies that is at LEAST a couple of years old.
My 50 States Cricut Cartridge that is about three years old
My Sentimentals Cricut Cartridge that I have had for just about a year.
My TH Paper Distresser. That tool is almost 3 years old.
My EK Butterfly punch that is a couple of years old and….
My MS Butterfly punch that is almost two years old.
I used “Old Paper” Distress Stickles on my butterfly. I have also had that for over a year!

SO THIS WAS PRETTY MUCH FROM MY STASH!

This project also fit nicely into a couple of other challenges over at simply scrapping a community of crafters that I recently came across. It fit into their Sketch challenge: HERE and their Cricut challenge: HERE. Be sure to head over and sign up…Be sure to tell them Melin sent you too!

Now it’s your turn!!! Get that hidden cash in your stash out and do something with it! Here are just a few small guidelines:
* Must use your Cricut or some type of die cut on your project.
* Must use something that has been in your “Stash” for AT LEAST a YEAR.
* Your Project must be a new project for this challenge and your post MUST have a link back to CWC.
* Your entry needs to be a direct link to your project and not just your blog.

Thank you so much for playing along with us! We can’t wait to see how you use the “Cash In Your Stash”!

Have a wonderfully crafty day!
