BELLI CHALLENGE #34 - BE SQUARE

What is the Belli Challenge you ask?

Each week, I try to give us a challenge that will use things we have lying around our stamp rooms! With a constant flow of new things coming out, I tend to forget about the other things I have and they quickly become clutter!

This Weeks Belli Challenge is to be SQUARED!! You can embellish anything with anything in your stamp room that is a SQUARE. I have sooo many odds and end SQUARE things lying around that I know I need to pull them out and use them! Square metal edge tags, Square brads, Square punches, Square embellishments, Square stickers...You name it...after 11 years of paper crafting...I probably have it lying around my room. After I all...I am a hoarder! LOL

Here is what you need to do...Make a completed project embellishing your work with ANY SQUARE. Share the link here in the comments linking to my Blog and CBC34. When you post to Splitcoaststampers or to your Blog, be sure and put CBC34 as the KEYWORD and mention of the challenge - with a link! I will do a random drawing for all participants and have a special pack of assorted Designer Papers for the winner!

The winner of last weeks Challenge was LORI BARNETT- check out her BEWITCHING project here. Lori, please contact me at adickinson@wi.rr.com and I will mail you your pack of DP. Thank you for participating!

Last week was VERY rough, so I did not mail out Pammy's reward, Pammy, I will have some time this weekend to get that in the mail.-

Do you know what I just decided? Looking through my supplies of all of my STASH? I have TWO HOARDING STASHES...one for scrapbooking and one for Card making! Well, I have TONS of stuff I use for scrapbooking that I rarely touch except when I go on my Scrapbooking weeks in March and October (woohoo that is coming up!)

Well, I looked at the Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge and decided to combine these challenges because I could utilize the sketch for SQUARES! :) Inside my scrapbooking stash was wome REAL LIFE Snapshots with a FALL theme and I originally TRIED to make them work with my Autumn Blessings stamp set...but it was JUST too busy for the simple beauty of those stickers! It just did not match. So I set the background aside for that...I had already stamped the Autumn leaves and used the Scripture of All I have Seen... so I needed to revamp and simplify. That is why I have TWO CARDS! I included a photograph of my sticker sheet from Pebbles Inc. Real Life Snap Shot sticker sheet.

Here are the details of Card One:

Stamp Set: My personal design Autumn Blessings and Distressed BG available at Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps - see below for a chance to win!, Wordsworth- All I Have Seen

Cardstock and Ink: Tangerine Tango, More Mustard, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Very vanilla, SU Hawaii Papaya DP, Vellum

Accessories: Cuddlebug, Flame Dew Drops, Old Olive 5/8th grosgrain, Dimensionals, Chocolate PolyTwill, Dew Drops

Card Two:

I used the remaining card to make another - I had all the pieces, so why not?

Stamp Sets: Stampabilities Psalm 91:1,

Cardstock: Same as above no vanilla though!

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: Real Life Fall Stickers, Polytwill Chocolate, Leaf Brads, Flame Square Brads
