#481- Double Trouble Collaboration

Hey everyone!  Welcome to our very last challenge here at Use Your Stuff.  We decided to go out with a bang and so we are doing a  Collaboration with Double Trouble Challenges! Be sure to link up your projects with them as well as with us! You can use the link here!

This challenge will run until the 31st of December on both our blog and the Double Trouble one!  

Check out the images below so that you can create your project to play along with both of us!!


You are going to need a die cut image for your project for the Double Trouble portion.

Our portion of the challenge is to Wrap it Up, so use things like ribbon, twine, bows, washi, etc.




Here's what the DT has for you!



As this is our last challenge,  I have a little giveaway for you.  I will randomly be picking 5 entries to receive a crafty surprise from me, so make sure you play along.  You are welcome to enter as many times as you wish, but you must play along with both blogs, and the giveaway will be open internationally. Winners will be posted here on January 2nd so watch for it!

All Good Things.............



 Hey there all of our dear friends and challenge enthusiasts.  It is with a heavy heart that I am here to announce on behalf of the design team that Use Your Stuff will be closing our blog as of December 31st, 2023.

On behalf of our current Design Team and all of our team members in the past, we thank you so very very much for being with us every challenge and sharing with us your joy and love of creating.  We have been so proud to have been here to help stimulate your creativity and crafting!

We do have a challenge today and then we have a final challenge next week that will go for all of December that will co-ordinate with Double Trouble which we are super excited for!

We wish you nothing but love and joy  going forward and we look forward to still seeing many of you on your blogs and in other challenges.



#480- Shine Bright



 Shine Bright - Use bling or something that gives off light.
You can also highlight items that give off light in real-life lamps, twinkle lights, sun, etc.

I used some stickles on my snowflakes to give them some sparkle
 along with a gem sticker in the center of each one.


I went with some almost dried-out stickles in blue and small clear rhinestones around the star, along the top of the photos, and a larger one on the camera lens.  I also used some puffy stars as those give off light in real life


This cool light up cupcake card was taught to me by instructor, Meghann Andrew!

(Hey Everyone!  Looks like we had a bit of a Blogger glitch with today's post...bear with us as I think it is fixed but it might take a little bit more time for the inlinkz code to work,  Feel free to leave your link in the comments if you can't link up yet. )


Our theme for this challenge is Winter or Snow!  Not sure if you have any yet where you might be, but definitely tis the season!  We look forward to your amazing projects and here are some from the design team to get you into that Winter Wonderland frame of mind!!!
