How Old Can You Go Challenge

With all the AMAZING product that Close to My Heart released this month in their Seasonal Expressions 2 book it is easy to get swept away and want it all (yep, I do!)  But what about the super cute papers and embellishments that you already have?  If you are like me you have lots of supplies that you really love but i\they are quickly forgotten because of all the pretty new items appearing.   I want to help you use your old supplies to help make room for all the new goodies you NEED.

So... Announcing our newest challenge. 

How Old Can You Go 

At least once a month from May to August I will post a challenge on my facebook page for you to create using as many old supplies as you can. During that month, upload and post your own creation using your older supplies to the ScrappinwithHeather facebook group.  On August 25th, each person that participated in the challenge all 4 months will receive $10 in product credit of papers, inks, or stamps towards their own $20 purchase made between August 25 and August 31st. 

To make it an even better, for each month that you include 3 or more retired/old items in your project, you will receive an additional entry into the Hostess Rewards pot.  I will hold the drawing on August 25th and the person chosen will receive an additional $25 in Hostess Rewards.  

Here are a couple layouts I created for May:

Here is what I used:

Whew - I was able to go back 10 years!

I used a series of layouts created by fellow consultant Kelly Baxter-Fitzgerald but changed the papers out to use what I already had in stock. Easy Peasy.

As a special bonus just for those people participating in this challenge, I have the cutting files for the above layouts plus 3 more layouts.  If you would like them, email me letting me know you will be participating in the challenge and that you would like the files. Once I see your May submissions in my facebook group I will email you the directions. 

I absolutely loved creating with my old supplies and feeling like it was money well spent. Now I don't feel bad at all when I purchase all the new papers and supplies!  I'm sure you will feel the same.  Will you join me?!
