Stashbusters - and if we don't have the exact thing, we can substitute.
Here's the requirements:
1. Create a border of the oldest metallic accents you've got in your stash! You should use a minimum of 6 items but feel free to use more. These can be brads, eyelets, rivets, clips, or metallic words. You can also create a border around a photo, a journal block, or the entire page. WHAT I DID: I created a border using the SU! Tasteful Trims die - I love that die, don't use it enough. I did not have any metallics in my stash and I purged those long ago. So, my substitute was those chipboard circles from the Copper Mountain kit and some mini clothes pins from my stash. These are things I don't usually reach for - I was happy to find a use for them.
2. Use at least 2 different ribbons. WHAT I DID: I didn't have any ribbons that would look good with ice glazed farm equipment and corn fodder! So, looking into my stash for two similar use items, I found some black / white baker's twine and some American Craft's silver glitter tape. I have several rolls of that glitter tape in various widths & colors. I like it; I need to use it. However, I don't want it on every. single. layout. I thought it provided a nice metallic pop along the border of the main photo.
