If You've Got It, Use It!

I found a fun new blog called Use It! Challenges. It's hosted by Rae Barthel, a former DT member at 2 Sketches 4 You. Each week there's a new challenge designed to help you use up your supplies--scraps, hoarded items, forgotten embellies, etc. A fun twist is that the winner each week gets to choose the next challenge.

This week's challenge comes from Danni: use spring colors, at least 4 flowers, and a tag on your card. I used a vellum tag, something I've had forever and rarely use, along with a mini flower punch I've used only once or twice. Unfortunately the sentiment didn't photograph well, but it says, "So glad we're friends." This card will be for a friend at work who loves purple (and my cards).
