Challenge #58 Winners...and a New Design Team!

Not quite as many projects to admire this week. We can only hope that everyone is out enjoying the sunshine! Those that did play, thank you very much for your time and your beautiful creations.

Inlinkz chose Lizzie R as our winner this week. Can you believe Lizzie used paper that is almost a decade old? It was one of the first paper pads she bought when she started scrapbooking. Way to go, Lizzie!

Lizzie, congratulations and thanks for playing. We hope to see you again soon as a Guest Designer for an upcoming challenge. Please feel free to add this badge to your blog.

And, here are our "sunshiny" picks for Design Team Top 2 this challenge!

Chris V with her adorable card. She used ribbons, twine and a sentiment sticker all from her stash of hoarded goods.

And Deborah Johnson with her sweet layout using mists that are over a year old and paper so old that she doesn't even know what brand it is anymore!

Thank you for brightening our week with your projects. Feel free to add the Top 2 Pick badge for your blog, ladies. Congratulations and thanks for playing!!

And, last challenge marked the sunset on one Design Team term, as the sun rises on another! We're happy to announce our Term 5 team. Once again, you'll be happy to find a few familiar faces and a few new faces to show us their talent over the next six months.

First of all, last term Use It Tuesday launched our Facebook presence. We're excited to connect with you in a new way, but also stepping into unfamiliar territory. Returning to help us with this tremdendous task is Stephanie, our new Social Media Goddess.

My names is Stephanie, and I live in New Mexico. I am a mom to three kids - a 5 year old girl, a 3 year old boy, and an almost 2 yo girl. My days are filled with keeping them happy and safe, teaching online classes for our local community college, trying to keep the house presentable, and crafting! I have always liked to craft, but I really got into scrapbooking three years ago. Before then, my "stash" could fit in roughly a 1ft by 1ft by 1ft container - including most of my tools. Now, just my 12x12 papers take up more than that! So, I am here to use my stash and help others find creative ways to stop hoarding and CREATE!

 

Returning to Use It Tuesday for another term is...

Tammy

I'm excited to be back again for another term on the UIT Design Team. I am a hoarder. If they ever did a Hoarders episode for scrapbookers, I would be on it!  I have lots and lots of stuff and never seem to use it up. It's in shelves, on shelves, on the floor, in the desk, under the stairs, pretty much every possible place I can cram it into. It is just never ending. I love being on this DT because it forces me to find and use what I know I have! I live in Calgary, Alberta Canada (just down the highway from Heather ;) ) and I do both scrapbooking and cardmaking. I am also a SMASHer and have about 3 SMASH books on the go right now. My favorite subject is my 4 yr old son. I love surfing the net for scrappy ideas and also watching YouTube. When I am not crafting I enjoy going to movies, camping, traveling and reading.

Nicole

Hello! I'm Nicole, a single gal living in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I'm anything but a morning person; therefore, you'll find me craftHello! I'm Nicole, a single gal living in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I'm anything but a morning person; therefore, you'll find me crafting late at night with coffee in hand. I fell in love with card making and scrapbooking 4 years ago after taking a job designing for a paper arts store; however, I've always had a desire to create. Documenting the details of life is my main goal, and I have a passion to share that with others. I'm so excited to begin another term with Use It Tuesday, using all the goodies I have hoarded over the years! I hope to inspire you to do the same!
  
Tracy

Hey! My name is Tracy and I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am a newly wed to my talented husband Sean (a band teacher) and stepmother to 2 beautiful teenage girls, Zoe and Margaret. So you'll find us somewhere between highland dance classes, piano lessons or volleyball practice through the week. Rounding out our little family is our crazy pooch Kya. Aside from paper crafting I am a classical musician playing the french horn, I love to kayak and with the family we love to watch movies and geocache. I've been a paper crafter for about 14 years. Although I do a little of everything, I LOVE to scrapbook. I am excited to be a part of the Use it Tuesday design team, as I hope it will force me to dig deeper into my stash. What I love to collect most? Paper and flowers!

And joining us for the first time this term will be...

Becky

I am thrilled to be joining the Use it Tuesday team! I live in Southern California with my high-school sweetheart turned husband. We recently adopted a dachshund who has become the center of my scrappy inspiration. When I am not scrapping pictures of our furbaby, I work on making a dent on our wedding album (even though it's been two years already, oops!). I mainly enjoy creating 12x12 layouts although I'll make a card or altered item once in awhile. Besides being crafty, I enjoy reading, surfing the web for new creative ideas, and occasionally watching junk t.v. (I'll admit it!). Looking forward to digging into my ever growing stash and finally using it!

Brenshevia

I am the mother of 2 young adult children and the grandmother of 3 toddlers ages 5, 3 and 9 months.  They are the primary subjects of my pages. On rare occasions I have been known to actually scrap my children from time to time lol but mostly its the grandbabies.  I have been scrapping since 2007 and it is my favorite way to relax and unwind.  Some people need Calgon to take them away, well I need scrapping! I have been published several times so that was awesome.  I love clean and simple but I also love shabby chic so I tend to do a mixture of both sometimes. Thank you for allowing me to share my journey through pictures with you.

Jessica A

Confession, I'm a crafter. ;)  Now that we have that out of the way, I guess I should say that I am actually a scrapbooking fiend and typically my subjects are my 4-year-old and 2-year old sons. Most of those projects get linked up on my blog so I can enter them into various online challenges - one of my favorites was always Use It Tuesday because they encouraged me to find ways to bust through my stash. I hope I can help you find inspiration in the same way now that I'm on the team! As for other hobbies, well, I make cards and sometimes do some altered art. Oh? Non-paper crafts? That's a little harder. The hubs, and I have an on-again-off-again relationship with road running. We watch a lot of movies and love eating out. And when I can sneak a second I enjoy long soaks in bubble bath with a good book.

Jessica B

Hello my name is Jessica B. I have been married for eight years to an amazing, loving and supportive husband.  We have two beautiful daughters, a four year old and one year old.   We currently live in the Northern Virginia/DC area.  We have only lived here a couple short years and are still exploring the area.  We love being tourist on the weekends. It also gives me a lot of things to scrap about.  During the day, I work full time as an interior designer.  I am usually a night owl and scrap late after my babies have gone to bed.  Though 12x12 layouts are my first love, I do dabble in altered items, mini books and project life.  I started scrapbooking in high school when I returned from a mission trip.  After I created that first album there was no turning back, I was hooked.  I am looking forward to using up my stash of hoarded supplies on the Use It Tuesday design team.  My stash is taking over multiple closets and cabinets.   

Rachel

Hi to you all! I am a crafter first then a cook and cleaner. LOL. I am married to Ralph and we have 2 grown up children: a son Matthew, 26 who is still at home and Aimee, who is 24 and lives in Cardiff  I run  Blossom Cards and Gifts from home and teach card making classes and I also do demos and card party's I like all sorts of crafting, but I like doing shaped cards most of all. I also enjoy scrapbooking. I have been a crafter most of my life. Happy crafting to you all.

Valentina 

Hi Everyone, I'm Valentina and I live in a small city in Italy. I’ve always loved hobby and crafts and when I discovered cardmaking in 2011 it was love the first sight! I found not only a world of wonderful papers, creativity, techniques and ideas, but also a virtual community of REAL friends. I filled a closet with materials that claim to be used, but I always say I've not enough! It's easy to find excuses for a bit more of shopping! When I'm not crafting I love to cook for my husband and my friends and we love to watch food entertainment tv shows. I also have a real passion for makeup, cosmetics and nail art and love Youtube tutorials to learn the makeup artists secrets.

And, Heather will remain as our Design Team Coordinator...

I'm back!! I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with my husband, our young daughter and two always entertaining cats. I focus on card-making, which I've been into since 2008, but, occasionally I'll spread my crafty wings and dabble in other things, such as 3D projects, digital scrapbooking, or sewing. Thanks to the arrival of my daughter, traditional scrapbooking now makes its way into my projects now and then. These days, my biggest challenges are using my quickly accumulating stash and finding time to get into my craft room with a toddler in the house. Wish me luck!

That's it for today. Come back Tuesday, July 8th, for our first challenge of the new term.
The Design Team is keyed up and ready to go!!

Challenge #46 Winners and Design Team Announcement!!

We had a great time admiring your projects this year. From New Year's cards to New Year's goals and projects there was so much variety to admire!!

Inlinkz chose Sheena B as our winner this week.  

Sheena had been admiring a technique for awhile now and decided to pull it out of the old idea bin to make this birthday card for a Sweet 16 being celebrated early in the New Year.

Sheena, congratulations and thanks for playing. We hope to see you again soon as a Guest Designer for an upcoming challenge. Please feel free to add this badge to your blog.

The Design Team chose these two deserving projects as our Top 2 Picks!

And Kari Ann who re-purposed some very cool birthday party centerpieces into beautiful storage containers for her crafty stash.

Thank you for kicking off 2013 with us and please feel free to add the Top 2 Pick badge for your blog, ladies. Congratulations and thanks for playing!!

And, it's time to announce the new Term 4 Use It Tuesday Design Team. Our new team of fantastic ladies has some familiar faces and some new faces! We're really excited for the challenges that are coming and can't wait to see what this creative bunch makes for you. 

Returning to Use It Tuesday for a second team is...

Caroli

 

My name is Carolina, I'm a 32 years old Chilean girl in love with paper crafts. I live in Santiago, with my fiancé and our 4 year old little girl named Isidora. I work full time as translator and foreign trade assistant in a multinational company. I started scrapbooking in 2004, I took a break on 2007 and started over again on 2010, but this time with way more energy and resources that in my beginnings. I would define my style as clean, simple, colorful and playful. I work mainly on layouts, but lately I am so interested in altering stuff and decorating my home with paper. I love big titles, dimension, stitching and mist. I'm so excited to be one more term in the DT of Use it Tuesday, the girls here are awesome, and I still have loads of unused supplies waiting for me to decide to use them, this is the right place to be :)
 

Danielle

My name is Danielle, born in 1981 so you do the math :-) I live in The Hague, which is a big city near the beach in The Netherlands. I have been collecting scrap supplies since 2004....oh and sometimes I actually do scrapbook ;-) This place is perfect for me to finally use all of my collectables and to try some older techniques again. Mostly I make layouts, but mini albums are also a favorite of mine. I don't have kids of my own, so I 'steal' lots of photos of my niece and nephew to scrap. Besides photos of them I scrap a lot about my travels. Traveling is one of my other hobbies, love to see new places and meet new people! I'm really looking forward to another term over here at Use it Tuesday, thanks for having me again!!

Stephanie

My names is Stephanie, and I live in New Mexico. I am a mom to three kids - a 5 year old girl, a 3 year old boy, and a 1 yo girl. My days are filled with keeping them happy and safe, teaching online classes for our local community college, trying to keep the house presentable, and crafting! I have always liked to craft, but I really got into scrapbooking two years ago. Before then, my "stash" could fit in roughly a 1ft by 1ft by 1ft container - including most of my tools.

Tammy

Hello there! I'm Tammy and I live in Calgary Alberta Canada with my wonderful husband and my sweet, crazy little 3.5 yr old. I am a huge movie fan and I also love country music, world travel and diet Coke! I have been papercrafting for about 7 years now. I love surfing the net for inspiration as well as magazines. I often check out blogs, so you never know when I might stop by yours! I am excited to be on my second term for Use It Tuesday. It has been such great fun, going through my stash and slowly making a dent in all that I have accumulated. This is the perfect DT for me with a wonderful bunch of ladies to create with! We have some fabulous challenges for you coming up over the weeks and I can't wait to see what you create with them.

And joining us for the first time this term will be...

Nicole

Hello! I'm Nicole, a single gal living in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I'm anything but a morning person; therefore, you'll find me crafting late at night with coffee in hand. I fell in love with card making and scrapbooking 3 years ago after taking a job designing for a paper arts store; however, I have always felt a strong desire to create. Beyond paper, I paint, draw, and sew. Just recently, I created a functioning craft room in my apartment and can't wait to begin this term with Use It Tuesday, using all the goodies I found buried in the previous mess. I hope to inspire you to do the same!

Sherri

I'm Sherri, a Canadian girl, married to the sweetest guy around.  We have 3 girls who keep us on our toes with the amount of Competitive Dance classes they take in a week.  I love coffee, especially when it's shared with friends, and even more so when it's over breakfast, my favorite meal of the day.  I love roller coasters, sushi, enjoy a good movie on a Saturday night, reading on the beach, and have a tough time deciding between sweet or salty.  My scrapbook style is somewhat fluid, and often includes layers and bits and pieces while always maintaining a good balance of white space. Although not a hoarder by nature when it comes to pretty paper and embellishments I tend to struggle to use it up before getting more. Use It Tuesday is the prefect place to begin changing that bad habit. Looking forward to a great term with you all.

Stacey

Hi! My name is Stacey and I live in Virginia with my wonderful husband and two children. We are a proud military family getting ready to embark into the civilian world as my husband is retiring after 24 years of service. My two children are the light of my life. My daughter is currently away at college and my son just recently graduated high school and is a firefighter/EMT. I am extremely proud of both of them. I have been papercrafting for about 6 years now. It all started one year when my hubby got a box and filled it with odds and ends of scrapbooking supplies for a Christmas gift after he remembered me saying I would like to try it. I have been hooked ever since. :) Scrapbooking slowly turned into card making which then turned into altered items. I love it all! My biggest problem is "collecting" my stash, you know all that pretty paper that we buy (at least I do) and then I don't want to cut it cause it's so pretty....haha! I am so glad to be a part of this fabulous group so that I can actually begin to start using it.

Tracy 

Hey! My name is Tracy and I live in Nova Scotia, Canada. I am a newly wed to my talented husband Sean (a band teacher) and stepmother to 2 beautiful teenage girls, Zoe and Margaret. So you'll find us somewhere between highland dance classes, piano lessons or volleyball practice through the week. Rounding out our little family is our crazy pooch Kya. Aside from paper crafting I am a classical musician playing the french horn, I love to kayak and with the family we love to watch movies and geocache. I've been a paper crafter for about 14 years. Although I do a little of everything, I LOVE to scrapbook. I am excited to be a part of the Use it Tuesday design team, as I hope it will force me to dig deeper into my stash. What I love to collect most? Paper and flowers!

And, Heather will remain as our Design Team Coordinator...

Hi, I'm Heather. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with my husband, our young daughter and two always entertaining cats. I focus on card-making, which I've been into since 2008, but, occasionally I'll spread my crafty wings and dabble in other things, such as 3D projects, digital scrapbooking, or sewing. This is my fourth term at Use It Tuesday and while Use It Tuesday has helped me greatly in encouraging me to use my stash, my real talent seems to be that I can buy stuff faster than I use it!! <blush> I think I said it last term, but this time I really mean it...I'm trying REALLY HARD to concentrate on using what's in my craft room, rather than buying more! My other challenge this term is finding time to get into my craft room with a toddler in the house. Wish me luck!

As you can tell from this list, we have to say thank you to a few DT Members who are moving on to other projects and goals. Thank you a million times to Cathy, Haven, Marjolaine, Tess and Victoria. 

We will miss you!

That's it for today. Come back tomorrow, January 8th, for our first challenge of the New Year!

Now, onto our Announcement!  We are pleased to welcome the following ladies into our Use It Tuesday Family!  Please help us welcome our 3rd Design Team:

Heather, who has been with us since the beginning, is stepping up to be our Design Team Coordinator!  

Hi, I'm Heather. I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada with my husband, our young daughter and two always entertaining cats. I focus on card-making, which I've been into since 2008, but, occasionally I'll spread my crafty wings and dabble in other things, such as 3D projects, digital scrapbooking, or sewing. This is my third term at Use It Tuesday and while Use It Tuesday has helped me greatly in encouraging me to use my stash, my real talent seems to be that I can buy stuff faster than I use it!! <blush> This term, I'm trying REALLY HARD to concentrate on using what's in my craft room, rather than buying more! My other challenge this term is finding time to get into my craft room with a new baby in the house. Wish me luck!

Caroli: 

My name is Carolina, I'm a 32 years old Chilean girl in love with paper crafts. I live in Santiago, with my fiancé and our 3 year old little girl named Isidora. I work full time as translator and foreign trade assistant in a multinational company.  I started scrapbooking in 2004, I took a break on 2007 and started over again on 2010, but this time with way more energy and resources that in my beginnings. I would define my style as clean, simple, colorful and playful. I work mainly on layouts, but lately I am so interested in altering stuff and decorating my home with paper. I love big titles, dimension, hand stitching and recently I've discovered misting, which is my new obsession. I'm so excited to be part of Use it Tuesday, I have loads of unused supplies waiting for me to decide to use them, this is the right place to be :)

Cathy: 

 My name is Cathy and I live in New Brunswick, Canada. I am a married mom to a two-and-a-half year old son who definitely keeps my husband and I on our toes! As I also work outside of the home full time I don't have a lot of spare time, but I try to use what I have wisely, which means I am crafting almost every spare moment! I love making cards as it is a fun creative outlet, and it is small enough that I don't feel overwhelmed by the messes I get myself into. I've been stamping and papercrafting for about four years, and I definitely go through my 'hoarding' phases. Lately I've been collecting 6x6 pads,before that it was spray mists and paints, before that stamps, and before that it was various colours of card stock (I still have some unopened packages dating back several years). I could go on and on but you get the idea. For this reason I love the Use it Tuesday philosophy and I can't wait to get crafting with all of you! :)

Danielle:

 My name is Danielle, born in 1981 so you do the math :-) I live in The Hague, which is a big city near the beach in The Netherlands. I have been collecting scrap supplies since 2004....oh and sometimes I actually do scrapbooking ;-) This place is perfect for me to finally use all of my collectables and to try some older techniques again. Mostly I make layouts, but mini albums are also a fabourite of mine. I don't have kids of my own, so I 'steal' lots of photo's of my niece and nephew to scrap. Besides photo's of them I scrap a lot about my travels. I'm really looking forward to this term and to get to know a lot of new people over here!

 Haven:

 Hello, my name is Haven, I live in Eugene, Oregon and all I do is laundry.  Well at least it feels that way with 4 kids under the age of 13.  Most of the time they are making messes faster than I can clean them, especially, the youngest. I swear if my son was born first he’d be an only child.  In the rest of my free time I work very part time as a water exercise instructor, volunteer as a Girl Scouts leader/ camp registrar/ service unit treasure and scrap.    I started scrapbooking in 1999 when my first daughter was born and I have been addicted ever since.  My style tends to be all over the place, but lately I’m in love with sketches.  In my crazy busy day it’s nice to have a given start point, so I can get something done.    I joined the blogging community a little over a year ago and have been and currently am on a few design teams. I love seeing what my fellow DT has going on and find that they inspire me to try new things.

Marjolaine: 

My name is Marjolaine. I live in Ottawa, Canada with my husband of 15 years and my four children. I have been scrapbooking since 1997 and due to the fact that I was a consultant for a scrapbooking company for 6 years followed by owning my own store for the last three I HAVE MOUNTAINS OF HOARDED SUPPLIES!!! I am passionate about using my stash so  Use It Tuesday is perfect for me! I don't really have a style. I love to try new things and use products in unconventional ways. My favourite things to do are layouts, mini-albums, mixed-media and altered art...not always in that order!  I enjoy designing and teaching and it is my desire to encourage others to make time for what they love while not comparing themselves with others.

Stephanie: 

My name is Stephanie U., and I live in New Mexico. I am a mom to three kids - a 4.5 year old girl, a 2.5 year old boy, and an almost 1 yo girl. My days a filled with keeping them happy and safe, teaching online classes for our local community college, trying to keep the house presentable, and crafting! I have always liked to craft, but I really got into scrapbooking two years ago. Before then, my "stash" could fit in roughly a 1ft by 1ft by 1ft container - including most of my tools. Now, just my 12x12 papers take up more than that! So, I am here to use my stash and help others find creative ways to stop hoarding and CREATE!

Tess:

 My name is Tess and I am from beautiful British Columbia Canada! I am the mom of one, who is 17 and graduates high school next year.....and married to my best friend! I also have two spoiled rotten fur babies :) I have been gettin my craft on now for about 6 years and I am addicted to all things papercraft. I love stamps. I am a self proclaimed paper hoarder. And anything that sparkles distracts me pretty easily! My fave scrap subjects are my son, my nieces, my nephews and my cats!

Tammy:

Greetings from the Great White North! My name is Tammy and although originally from Ontario Canada, I have made my home in Calgary Alberta Canada for several years. I am a married WAHM to a lovely three year old boy named Riley and we also have two pound puppies, a pug named Pickles and a bijon named Tonka. I was so excited to find that I was going to be a part of the Use it Tuesday design team. I have so much stash you wouldn't believe. When my scrappy friends need things, they come to me and I still don't know anything is gone :)

I love 6xt6 paper pads and using my stamps (both ink and digital) as well as ribbon..oh do I have a soft spot for ribbon. I have been crafting for several years and started with scrapbooking but I love making cards. I also enjoy tags and have just started to get into mini-albums as well. Anything that will help me use up my stash that much quicker. I don't have any particular style but tend to be inspired by the theme or the product that I am using. I love checking out other blogs so I will definitely be looking forward to checking out all those that play with us each week and being inspired and hopefully inspiring you as well.

Victoria: 

 My name is Victoria and I live in Toronto, Canada. I am a mother to a 2-year-old daughter and wife to a super sweet guy. Growing up, I’ve always enjoyed visual arts and crafting. Last year, I started buying a lot of crafting supplies but I’ve only recently started using them. In the last few months, I got more involved with card-making after starting my own blog and discovering a whole world of talented crafters out there in the blog world. Since I am fairly new to card making, I look forward to trying out new techniques and being inspired by all the creative crafters out there. I love looking at (and possibly buying) craft supplies so I’m hoping I can use up some of these before I get a reason to buy more. Other than hoarding craft supplies, I also love to collect a lot of disposable/recyclable items, which I hope to eventually integrate into my cards.  When I am not crafting, I spend most of my time taking care of my daughter who amazes me everyday and working part time as a teacher at a tutor centre.

We look forward to seeing everyone back on July10th for another challenge!

**********************************************

Now, onto the challenge! Please make a project that has something to do with cooking!

You can make a recipe card, a layout about your favorite meal or cooking, a card thanking a gracious host...let your imagination (and your stash!) guide you!

***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

Please link your creation using Inlinkz by Friday 18 November. No blog? No problem! Just use keyword USE019 when uploading to an online gallery and leave us a direct link so we can find your creation. (Linking tips are at the bottom of the post!)

Please make sure to mention you are playing along with a Use It Tuesday challenge (a link is great too!) so we know you are participating.

As always, one lucky participant will be randomly chosen to be a featured guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Here is a little inspiration to get you started:

Haven used her hoarded stickers that a friend gave her in 2006 to make this yummy baking layout! She also used paper from her stash...the pages looks just as great as those cookies do!


Heather's riddle for this darling card? What do you get when you cross a RAK image, perfectly good and unused background piece, forgotten quilted top note and neglected brad? This week's card, of course! Now that is a recipe for success!


Jane has us salivating with this home-baked creation! Can't you just smell that warm apple pie? Her images were her hoarded items...aren't they darling? We totally agree with her sentiment and could not have said it better ourselves!

Nancy's cupcake looks good enough to eat! What a fun technique for her cupcake topping! Her image is from a neglected Hero Arts set. She also used hoarded papers to make this delectable card!


Siobhan pulled out her neglected Cricut Imagine to make this card. She also used some old SU paper that was a hostess gift a few years ago. And that ribbon slide? She had to blow the dust off the package it was in. Thankfully the dust did not get in the apple pie. :)


Sonya made this darling layout using all hoarded supplies! The parenthesis around the turkey were 6 years old and started out red. She pulled out the 5 year old Making Memories paint she 'had to have' and painted them orange to match her layout colors. We think she fixed-up a fabulous layout!


Dinah used some old Fancy Pants paper to make an amazing layout about her Julia Child cookbook she has yet to use! We think Dinah must not only have hoarding issues with scrappy supplies, but also cookbooks! :)


France used all hoarded items on this tag...except for one thing...guess what it is? The picture! It could not be more perfect for this challenge, too! What a cool vintage feel (and cute little girl)! Bon Appetit is right!

And last but certainly not least, we have our Guest Designer, Corry, who whipped up this amazing set of eye candy! Who knew that hoarded papers, ribbons and chip board could make such a fabulous creation!

We can't wait to see what you create! Now go Use It!!
