With your eyes closed, rummage through that black hole stash and pick one thing, then make a project with it! It can be some kind of embellishment, a long-forgotten scrap of paper you've been saving for some reason you can't remember, or anything you've had for a long time and just never used. And remember, you can't pick it on purpose -- you have to have your eyes closed! I can't wait to see everyone's creations! Post a comment with a link to where you've posted your project -- the deadline for entry will be Sunday, May 25th. Then I'll announce the winner on May 26th!
And here are the prizes you can win! Depending on how many entries I receive, I'll probably divide this up into a grand prize and a smaller runner-up prize.
I'm going to have to take some better pictures, but here's what's in the pot:
- Fancy Pants borders rub-ons
- Fancy Pants "Mulberry Road" flowers
- Making Memories cloth flowers - Blue and White mix
- Making Memories cloth pockets
- DCWV 6x6 accordian album
- Scrapworks "Color Rubz" summer-themed rub-ons
- Scrapworks "Hugz&Dotz" accent and alpha stickers (2 sets)
- Scenic Route chipboard alpha in tan
- Making Memories copper sheets
- Sizzix manila envelope die (can be used with Sizzix or Cuttlebug machines)
- Making Memories "desination" rub-on alpha
- We R Memory Keepers "Garden Path" chipboard tags
- Making Memories "Eclectic Brads"
- Pioneer photo corners
- Elmer's adhesive runner
I'm going to be taking on this challenge as well. What got me started on this whole kick was actually trying to use up some of the scraps from my scrap drawers, which were offically overflowing. Here are some of the fun cards I made:

Okay, I took the challenge, and this is what I came up with: http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=2164591&mpage=1&key=�
I had grabbed that acrylic frame out of my box, and I didn't really want to use it...didn't know how and that's why it was never used. But then I used my leftover scraps from my BLOOM box recently altered, and this is what I pulled together. Thanks for the challenge! - ScrapMom8

Great stuff! I really liked this challenge because it made me use something that I just never could bring myself to figure out what to do with it. The wooden heart plague is what I used that was old.
Here's my entry.

Everyone is so creative and talented! You are all coming up with great stuff. Thanks for sharing!! - ScrapMom8
Ok, first I have to say not only am I challenged by a challenge...I know that doesn't make sense. When I hear the word "challenge" I run the other way. It absolutely scares me to death. I decided I'll try it ... we'll see where things run. My friend gave me this dark spotty paper said she didn't like it; said I could use it --- it's been at the bottom of my pile of paper but here's what I did with it. The paper with the words on it also is from this same friend. Thought if I could use the one I didn't know what to do with ... use the other one too...rofll. Sorry I removed it earlier, but I didn't have where the post was. Here's it on cricut site.. http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=2223816
ok here goes
thanks for the great idea! it was fun closing my eyes and not knowing what I was going to start with! This is not something a control freak would think of trying on her own!
