It's time for the last Shopping Our Stash challenge of 2025 and this time we'd like you to use something you got for free. Think: an RAK from a friend, a freebie included with an order, something you got as a door prize at a crafty event, something gifted to you because people think you can use just about anything on a card... you know: FREE!
I had to laugh when at the last sentence above, because I am SO lucky that my friends and family (and sometimes THEIR friends and family) are always showing up with a little bag or box or envelope of miscellaneous "stuff" they thought I might like... and a surprising amount of the time they are CORRECT! So I was able to make almost my whole card from such bounty, including: old sewing patterns and a phonebook from my mom; tiny sunflowers and buttons from my aunt; pieces of vintage road map from my friend Barb; part of an old, falling-apart Chinese dictionary from my friend Liz; and Hambly Transparencies and vintage Tall Corn Trading Stamps from my chosen sister, Stephanie!
Be sure to check out the other Crew Members' cards at Shopping Our Stash. SOS564: FREE is Good! runs until the evening of Monday, January 12th.
Don't you love it when friends and family save out ribbon, pages, buttons and stuff just knowing that you can use it on a card!! What great inspiration to those who decide to play along with our “Free Is Good” challenge over at Shopping Our Stash!! Way to go shopping your stash for all those fantastic pieces and parts that you used to bring your card together...I love it!! #SOS564
