Out Of My Comfort Zone.

 Hello everyone: As always, I hope you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The SHOPPING OUR STASH has a new challenge for you to play with and I have to confess, it got me a little stumped until one of my teammates explain what it was all about so, here's what I came up with. 


The title of our challenge is "WTHeck embellishments" and basically is about those things in your craft stash that were bought for some reason but never really used?? Those stickers or twine or shiny things that you are wondering now, "why did I buy this???" Especially if it's something totally out of your comfort zone.

I have a few sticker sheets in a small drawer that are so very old, the sticky foam on all of them is very dry so I had to put some new sticky tape to be able to use them on my card.  I did very little stamping and absolutely NO coloring, which is not my style but I'm very happy with the way this card turned out.

I really don't remember why I bought these stickers, maybe secretly I wanted to go to Florida and lay about in the sand, under an umbrella, with a drink in my hand listening to the waves crashing on the beach.

The only stamping I did was the word "MERRY", the word "Christmas" and the Holy on the little scalloped tag, which is burgundy but it looks black on the picture, go figure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the inside.



The sentiment inside is from a Power Poppy set called "Snow Kissed", the little, adorable Flamingo is from the same Florida sticker sheet, I just love it.

I hope you come and check out the SHOPPING OUR STASH challenge blog for more inspiration from my awesome teammates and come play along with us in our gallery.

Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments, they always make my day.
Until next time, stay healthy and safe.


 Maria.

Super cute card, great use of those stickers. (even using sticker is out of my comfort zone) It's always good to step out of it. Great inside and super cute flamingo to finish off a super cute Florida card.

A fun card from some unusual stickers. The stickers are a perfect fit for this challenge. You can be sure there won't be another one the same.

Ha! I have drawers full of embellishments that I rarely use, so what the heck! As much as I purge, there is still a lot I haven't given up. Look at you go with this one! You used your stash and have an awfully cute Christmas card. I love it!
