Today I tried to play with Sweet Stamp Shop’s Use What You Have Challenge #10 but it appeared the link has closed :(.  In any case, I was so happy with what I made just using my stash, I wanted to share it 🙂

First, here is my hot mess of a stash.  This stash is a victim of curious little hands and a hurried mom:

Here is the result:

I used a little floss to attach all the elements.  My favorite embellishment, the “Handmade Detroit” flair, is  from an up-cycle shop in town.

This tag symbolizes a lot to me.  The rugged tag represents the current state of the city, however the pretty ribbon and flair is a reminder that great ideas and people are also found in Detroit.

Take care and thanks for much for stopping by!!  xo- Tyra
