"Use it up...wear it out...make it do...or do without"! These are the words the Quaker (my Mum) lived by! Too bad I didn't listen. We were to use up some of the supplies we have for this great challenge. Seems I have an extraordinarily large amount of fabric flowers and leaves!..and to top it all off.. just as much ribbon! How did this happen I ask myself? LOL Too many trips to Mikes for a start! My New Years Resolution is to use what I have and NOT buy anything new..no matter how much I desire it or how great the sale price is! So this challenge is just the way to get me started. ALL OF THIS STUFF is from my stash and probably a lot older than some of your children! Thank you Toni for giving me the kick in the pants I needed.

Oh my goodness, I love those checked flowers...so CUTE! Your card is gorgeous and I so enjoyed your post....gave me a chuckle. Yes, I have lots of flowers, too. I don't have any of that pretty lace, though. I would be hoarding it if I did. Ha

How lovely the little check flowers have seen the light of day! Your colours are wonderful, so vibrant and fresh. Your resolution for 2016 is mine too - and I am actually loving my old stuff as it appears on my craft table.

Sue, this is TERRIFIC! Love your orange gingham flowers and using yesterday's sketch challenge was brilliant. You really ended up with a beautiful card using up some supplies.

Delightful card - and just look at all the goodies from your stash. Wish we all had your will power when it came to not buying any more things for the stash. Its not going to work for me I think. My wish list is growing by the day. Remember the old days when there were only a few companies and your stash fitted into a few small plastic containers. Good Luck with your New Year's Resolution.
