Use something not for it's purpose.............

Hello!

Welcome to another challenge at Digi Choosday Challenge! The theme for the challenges for our entrants is always 'Anything Goes' but the design team like a challenge and this week we have been set the challenge of 'use something not for it's purpose'.

Well I am on a team of very very talented ladies and they could take a twig and make it fabulous. I am not talented or creative, in fact the idea of trying to be creative makes me want to lie down in a dark room.

So you can imagine for this challenge - I needed to think long and hard. Use something not for it's purpose???? Oh my goodness, I could not think of ANYTHING!

Then in a moment of reaching for a biscuit to make myself think better (you know it works) - I spotted some cocktail sticks. I thought, oooooh could I use them, so be prepared to be underwhelmed at my challenge for this week! lol!


Can you see them?  Yes, I made my own quilled flowers using cocktail sticks! I know, I have stunned you into silence with my genius............

I have to put proof in for you to believe me. ;) I rolled the paper with the cocktail sticks, double use, efficiency at it's best!

Close up of my genius :)

I used the delightful Scruff from the FuzzyPuffs Collection, which you can see here. I used the image 'Scruff Gardening' which is available as a black and white digi here, or as a coloured digi here.

I made a shaped card using papers from the Horace and Boo Collection, the sentiment is from the same collection, you can search the collection here.
