Well I think I was able to cover two challenges to-day...I think! The technique challenge was the serendipity technique. We were to use our scraps ..well..I have had a very large bag of old postage stamps that I found at an antique mall years ago. It took me almost the whole day to stick them on an 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardstock but I was pleased with the result. The stamp is very old too.. from 1998 so I am still keeping my resolution.

Sue, what a brilliant inspired idea! I have a couple of envelopes full of postage stamps I can't bear to throw out. I bet you'll get great use from the rest of the sheet too! If you can bear to waste some of it after all the time spent in gluing, I think the stamps would look great in a star shape!
I once needed three full sheets for a set of ATCs I was doing - I sat out in the garden on a rug and glued away all afternoon .

I think the serendipity technique is the coolest thing. Love the 1st class banner. It's a beautiful card.
