365 Cards Matchbook Challenge and Use it!

Do you see a pattern on my Scor-it Week cards? Each day I combine the 365 scoring challenge with a challenge from another blog - usually a sketch; however, today I am finally participating in a Use it! challenge. Rae Barthel, whose personal blog is definitely worth a visit, has created this challenge blog to help us use up our stash. Each week, a different hostess gets to present her challenge, which is geared towards using up what you've already got. Well this week's hostess, Regan, has definitely presented a challenge for me. Here are the specifics:

1.Go out of your comfort zone - for Regan that would be a "guy card", and I concur, so I did one as well.
2.Use something you’ve been hoarding for a while. - I used some trim, thread, fiber (whatever you want to call it), that I've had for about 4 years!
3.Use some of your new favourite things...paper, embellishments whatever - I am loving those friendly forest creatures from Colorbök, and this Offray ribbon that I've only had for a couple of weeks.
4. Heat Embossing - ugh, definitely a challenge for me because it's not my favorite thing to do, but in the end, I'm happy with how it turned out. I don't know if you can see it very well, but I did a close up of the sentiment on the inside of the card.

As for the 365 challenge - Kristie provided an excellent example along with a tutorial on her blog of a matchbook card. Once again, I turned to my Scor-it Board to create the clean, professional folds that I've come to rely on every time I make a card.

If you haven't been to Use it! Challenges, and you want more help using up your stash, then head on over there :)
