It's Sabrina here as your hostess this week - welcome to a new year of WTUI challenges. I have taken my inspiration for today's challenge from the old rhyme - "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue". You don't, of course, have to make a wedding card unless that's what you want to make , the wedding verse is simply the frame for the challenge, whic gives you a chance to use those new stamps, dies, tools or whatever, as well as dust off some old ones. You'll see below the options I am offering you for interpreting "borrowed".
New - as new as possible ;-). Old - as old as you like, bonus points the older it is. Borrowed - if you're lucky enough to live near someone you stamp with and borrow from them, great! But other ways of interpreting this are borrowing an idea or a layout - CASE a card from your Favourites, or use something you typically associate with someone, like Linda's beautiful scoring details, Susie's ink, spray and smoosh backgrounds, and borrow from them... I think that RAK images can also fall into this borrowed category, so if you wish to use images you've received from somebody feel free to run with that too. Blue - nothing to explain ;-). Anything blue, colouring, papers, embellishments...
When you've created your "something old, something new" card, upload it with the keyword WT617, and then come back and share a link here - that makes it easy for people to find your card .
If you're not sure how to add a link, here's how: 1. Open 2 windows or tabs: one for your card in the gallery, and one for this thread 2. In this thread, click on reply and type anything you want to show before the link. 3. Go to your card window. Highlight the address for your card. (It says www. splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showphoto..... and so on) 4. Click EDIT. Click COPY 5. Go back to this thread. Click PASTE.
My thanks to Lisa, Carla and Toni for some great samples. Lisa was able to borrow a stamp, Carla, Toni and I borrowed ideas/techniques.
Here is my card for this challenge. It was really fun.
This is what I used for something: Old - the Basic Grey Urban Prairie paper New - the Hello Kitty set Borrowed - the current Mojo Monday sketch Blue - paper and ink
Ty for the neat idea for today, it helped me wrap up my ideas for the t-party as well..Here is my card for Gaynelle

The website was having some probs this morning so it took FOREVER to get my card uploaded. I went with something OLD today since the new things I ordered 2 weeks ago won't arrive til sometime on Saturday - (it feels like forever!) Lots of OLD stamps - well old paper too now that I think of it since I bought a ream of this around 1999 . . . Here's my card:
OHmygollygosh, I'm old!!! 1989 hero arts stamp. I know I've older stamps than that... I'm guessing there's scs members who are younger than my oldest stamps.
Sabrina- an awesome challenge! Here's my cardand my list of matching items:New- alpine style Holtz stencil die Old- SU's festive flurry stamp set Borrowed- nice sentiment and fabric background from my stamping friends Blue- washi tape, turquoise background, alpine border
Have a warm Thursday!
