Sketch Challenge and Never Used Item

 I am trying to use some of the things I had to HAVE and then never used.  The bird which is a Tim Holtz die is one example of that.  A friend had a challenge to make a birthday card and put a bird on it.  Well I put a bird on my card but I did not make it a birthday card.  Oops.

The current challenge at Sunday Stamps is a sketch.  I really like the sketch it is very versatile.  I put my bird where the circle would have been (any shape).  The paper I used is a very old collection of boy paper which has dinosaurs on it. I love the colors in the collection.  I think that was the only piece of plaid paper left in the remaining paper I had.

Here is my card for the sketch. I do like the bird.  There are two bird designs in the die set.  

I also want to use my embossing folders more this year so you can see there is a large circle design embossed in the blue paper. 

1. Used oldie moldie paper (it doesn't smell moldie).

2. Used supply never used before.

3. Used embossing folder.

Yay - Barb - mission accomplished.

Thanks for stopping by.
