Wow it has been forever since I challenged MYSELF to "Takin' Out the Stash". I purchased this cute little Polar bear image and matching paper when I was the Guest Designer for Paper Maniac and I have been "HOARDING" them. This card was supposed to have just had a "Winter" theme but I really liked the little clothing label that I placed on the inside. It was just too perfect paired with that little bear wearing a scarf and that hat paper.
I am thinking that Elves are only a "Christmas thing." Oh well it is never to early to start on next years cards right?After I colored my image, I embossed him with swiss dots to add a bit of texture. Alrighty it is almost midnight here and I am surviving on only 2 hours sleep from last night. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are inspired to take out the STASH.
CHALLENGES:
Crazy for Challenges: Sketch
There She Goes: Embellish x3 (ribbon, button, clothing label)

Cute card! I really like how the blue punched border pops against the red background. Great job at using up some of your stash; I'm trying to do the same!
Oh, I love it. We should start a challenge blog with this title. I could use the motivation to take my stash out and create with them.
Awesome card, Justine! And a perfect winter card. I think you should start a "Take Out the Stash" challenge -- what a clever idea!
Such a precious easel card!! Love your pretty papers and sweet image!! How fun!! HUGS
