*Closed Winner Announced* Stash Search | DYD 2023

[bestcee]

Our random winner is Nemi!
​

Have you had fun stash diving for Halloween in the past? Well, we are back this time with a December theme! Time for our random fun through our stash! The best part of this game is it doesn't matter how big or small your stash is, everyone can play!

The lovely Cheryl of Fiddle Dee Dee Designs has provided the template below for us to use. This scrap is a little different than most. In this scrap, I'll be sending you through your TLP supplies to find random items to decorate the ornament. Don't worry or stress! I store my items by store, then designer. If you store them differently, that's totally okay! Adapt the instructions to match how you store your items. For example, if you keep your supplies in 1 folder by designer, then just count down the TLP designers to the folder mentioned, skipping other store designers. If I have a big number, and you don't have that many TLP designers, then count to the bottom, and start at the top again to get to the number.



Instructions:
1. Download the Ornament Template. This is where we will all start!
2. Open the first Lilypad Designer you have alphabetically. Open the first kit or paper pack from them and pick any paper from it for your background paper.
3. Open your 11th TLP designer (remember, you can start from the top again if you have less than 11). Open the 8th item from them and pick out a pattern paper for the top/bottom of your ornament. (Mine is the green flower paper).
4. Open the first designer after the letter K (So, l, m, n, etc). Use the 15th item (I had to go to 19 because I have a bunch of templates from Lynn!). Use the 12th paper for the line layer on your ornament.
5. Open the last designer in your list. Use the last kit in their folder. Pick a red, green, or neutral paper for the main part of your ornament. (Why, yes, that is a star wars inspired paper!)
6. Freebie: I choose to use the same paper from step 4 for my stem. You can do the same, or pick any paper you want for the stem.
7. Open the newest Christmas/December kit that you have purchased. (Not sure? Visual History might help you out!). Add at least 3 and no more than 6 items from the kit to your ornament.
8. Pick 1 more kit and add 1 but no more than 5 items from it. (I added 3 pieces of paint and the heart).

Have fun Stash Searching! I can't wait to see how yours comes together.

Here's my ornament:
