Each month Jami puts together a Split Coast Stampers Dirty Dozen Design Team challenge for the Current and Alumni Design Team.   Here are the rules for this months challenge that we had to follow:

Everything Old is New Again!We all tend to get so caught up in the latest and greatest stamps, papers, embellishments, etc that we can get into a shopping (and hoarding) frenzy!  So we have to use old stuff for this challenge.

Challenge Focus: Use one of the oldest stamp sets you own along with embellishments and supplies you’ve had for what seems like forever.

Restricted Element: No stamps, tools, or supplies purchased or obtained within the last 6 months. 
Bonus Challenge: Use a technique or style you haven’t used in a long time, but was a favorite at some point in your stamping past.

Well I followed the rules and just use an old Stampin’ Up retired set Sweet Herb, copy righted in 1999.

I also colored my stamp images with regular Stampin’ Up markers.

The main images were stamped on handmade paper that I made myself many years ago when I went through a paper making stage, lol.  I have been hoarding that paper.

Remember those skelton leaves, ahhh I have a bunch of them in a drawer.

It’s nice to know we don’t need all the latest and greatest to make a wonderful card.

Check out this limited supply list for this project:

How about you challenge yourself to make a card out of things you haven’t used in at least 6 months, I dare ya!

Hope your day is a mellow one!
