We all get used to having our Craft Stashes on hand and fully available whenever we want it. We fall into comfort zones and use the same thing over and over, in short we take it all for granted.

What happens when suddenly you are limited to what you can use???

This week I have set a challenge for you to only use the listed items.
For the video of these being picked please click the link below.
