I know we all love a good stashbusting challenge so I wanted to make sure everyone saw this one from Jill Sprott's blog.
She's also offering a giveaway to a lucky participant in case you need any incentive to play along.
You can find it here: Stashbusting challenge
From Jill's blog you need to gather the below to make three projects (cards, layouts, whatever). It's worth checking out the link as she includes an image and supply list of her challenge kit.
1. Eight pieces of patterned paper scraps and four specialty paper/"other" paper scraps -- no complete sheets allowed. 2. No more than one yard of trim, with no individual piece measuring more than 11" in length. 3. One sticker sheet, with a catch: at least one sticker must be missing from the sheet. 4. A pre-2013 alphabet set (the old challenge asked for a pre-2010 set, but I figure, three years have passed, so we can compensate for the time change). If you don't have a set this old, aim for your oldest. 5. One opened package/container of scrappy product. 6. One unopened package/container of scrappy product. 7. One roll of tape. 8. One item or package of product from a company that no longer makes scrappy products (the old challenge required a JBS product, which could still apply to this updated version). 9. Six journaling and/or Project Life cards (if you don't have individual cards, you can cut them from a journaling-card-style patterned sheet or use a printable, if you wish). 10. Unlimited cardstock, adhesive, and "technique-type product" (e.g. stamps, stamping ink, paint, mist, stencils, embossing powder, etc.). 11. A wild card item. Include anything you've been wanting to use (regardless of whether it is old or new, opened or unopened). The time is now. 12. A nearby item. Grab something from your desk or craft area that is within arm's reach. This will be fairly easy to do if you are a mess-maker like me. If you are super-organized and have no items within reach, then head for the nearest drawer or bin, close your eyes, and reach blindly. The item that you retrieve will be the final addition to your kit.

TFS. When I read your post the first time, I missed the part about 3 projects and thought that it was a lot of stuff to put on one layout!!

Hmmm, my scrapbook stuff is packed up in the basement, as I've complained about but, I can access it. Maybe I'll make up a kit this weekend. Chinagirl828 Too bad you aren't here in Minnesota - I think we'd be GREAT scrapbook friends. I feel like I have new scrap buddy

I am really not a challenge girl. I know I am probably the odd one, but I feel so confined by rules of a challenge that it stifles my creativity- I know I'm weird lol.
Anyone else like this?
However, I do get inspired by seeing others' work and would love to see your pages!

However, I do get inspired by seeing others' work and would love to see your pages! It totally depends on the challenge for me. This one has way too many rules. I got jumbled halfway through the list. I love the idea of being challenged to use my stash but I don't want to go on a scavenger hunt through my stash. But I know for others this is just the type of specifics they need to get into it.

doesitmatter , I really like challenges but I always feel that I can bust out of the rules whenever I want! With Jill's challenge, I wouldn't have 8 different coordinating scraps (I only keep one basket of scraps and it is never full) so would feel like I could substitute my 6 x6 pads (of which I have plenty!). I'm not submitting pics to win prizes so my only goal is to have fun scrapping!
