Hey RefugeePeas! I hope this week is finding you well! We are still sick here so I don't have an example to show you but I wanted to get the challenge up (the last one of my series!) before I passed out on cough medicine.
Below is a massive list(20 plus items!), mostly from your stash, choose 3 or choose 5 but share share away!
something paper crimped
corrugated something
cork something
chipboard (naked or altered)
watercolor
something sanded
ribbon
flock
embossed something (wet or dry)
journal strips
hand cut embellishments
buttons
wood veneer
brads
flair
woodgrain
stripes
lined/ledger
polkadots
floral
I can't wait to see what you make and hope I can get something going in the next few days. Dig in those stashes and put some of the old things we loved on those pages. Make sure to notate what you choose. Challenge yourself to use things you have not used in ages, maybe try 7 things or 10! I hope this challenge series has helped you this February!

Hope you and your household recover soon, crystalb! Thankyou SOOOO much for posting these challenges to get us digging in our stash of scrappy goodies. Hope you feel well enough to play soon. I do not have my playthings with me, but I hope to be scrapping again by early next week, and at first glance, I can see a lot of my go-to's on your list. Hmmm... Whether to go with the fav's or challenge myself to try something a little different... |

crystalb , thank you for this challenge. I am sorry you and your family are still sick. I hope that you can get the rest that you need to recover. This flu is really hard this year. Hugs and prayers for your family. woodysbetty , wow, you used so many of the prompts. Your layout is wonderful. I love the number of photos you were able to use and the close ups of faces. I love the kraft background that makes the photos and colored embellishments pop. Great job. I just used 3 of the prompts, fussy cutting by hand, cork embellishments and wood grain. I wanted to scrap the family photos taken this summer of each of our children and families. This is the last one. I'm glad I had this challenge to push me.  Family by Nylene Budge, on Flickr

crystalb - hope all of you are feeling better soon woodysbetty - wow - looks great and you picked so many of the options! nylene - what a lovely family! a very simple layout for me for this one - I picked 3 - stripes, polka dots, and a button. white background with 3 photo Christmas cards from friends - one in the top left corner, one in the middle lined up against the right edge, and one in the lower left corner. That left me with 3 smallish areas...the top right I filled with a green PP with red/white/green polka dots; the lower left I filled with a red/white/dk green/light green stripe PP. The centre I used the polka dot paper for a top strip, the striped paper for a bottom strip, and in the middle I added a red heart-shaped button and hand-wrote ~friends~ with a green zig writer.

I had so much fun on this one. Used some really old paper and stickers from Cosmo Cricket. Pulled out my Crimper and some old decorative pins and KI glitter brads. I need to look up the date and some details before I can do the journaling. I used 7 items from the list: something paper crimped ribbon buttons brads woodgrain lined/ledger polkadots  |

I picked three: watercolor, cork, and wood veneer. This was also for my Book of Me class I'm taking. The card and paper printable are from that class. I foiled the background with my Minc. Then I watercolored the background using my Distress inks.  LOAD22 by Jacqueline Bruce, on Flickr |

I used cork (not real though), brads, wood veneer, stripes and lined. I decided to keep the handwritten “Halloween 1980” because my mom wrote it on the original Polaroid photos and she’s gone now. Thanks for the challenge!!  |

I finally have one for this challenge: My 5 from the list are journal strips, a brad, wood grain, floral, and a hand cut embellishment that was cut by someone else's hand. The leaf cluster was part of a gift tag, but it was so pretty I had to save it for a page.  woodysbetty, your page is so much fun - it's all the word graphics! nylene, I've really been enjoying seeing how you've scrapped your family portraits. They've been beautiful pages. DawnMcD, I like the way you set the photos in a block and allowed space for that gorgeous red and gold paper. Beautiful! kiwigirl, I think I'm just in love with everything you touch. justjac, your Book of Me looks like a really fun project, and your sister Then & Now page is really cool too @expatindubai, I'm glad you kept Mom's handwriting too. stinkerbelle, your page is fantastic - I love all the layers and all the stuff, and the photo is just darling! crystalb, I hope you've all recovered by now and that you'll stay healthy! Thanks for the challenges! |

This is a traditional layout. Of the extensive list, I chose the following 5 items: crimp, polka dots, hand cut embellishments, flair & stripes. I used Adorn, Authentique & Recollections paper. These were the last pictures I ever took of my Dad. This was his last Christmas with us. The broken heart with the 2 missing puzzle pieces represent my Mom & Dad. I shed a few tears making this layout.  28-4-28 by Pati Nuce, on Flickr |

Here is my page for this challenge. It has cork, a corrugated arrow, and I hand cut the little banner. That cork has been found and lost and found again about 3 times since this challenge was posted. Glad I got my hands on it this morning. I purposefully stapled that little cluster together b/c I was SURE there was a staple on this list , but I guess I was seeing things!  Sweet Valentines 1 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr And here is the facing page. I will claim this as Free Style. I lifted a page I saw in the SCT magazine.

thracian, I don't think it is crazy at all! I love that you included so many photos of yourself. And the tucked in elements all add to the nostalgia.
