USING UP YOUR STASH CHALLENGE

I don't think you ever realise how much stash you have until you start sorting through it to find the stash for this challenge - So in an effort to use up more of our stash (and make room for new stuff) the Designers challenge you to use up some of your stash!

This month Lee challenged us to use up some of our blossoms and bling.  Now admit it - who has way too many of these in their stash???


By using up some of your stash - and loading your creations in to the GALLERY by the end of September,  you will qualify to go into the draw to win the Monthly Challenge Prize Voucher
