SOS564 - Free is Good

 Good morning crafty friends!

A big thank you to everyone who played in our last challenge and we are back with a new one. 

Our last challenge of the year is called Free is Good and we want you to use something you got for free - think: an RAK from a friend, a freebie included with an order, something you got as a door prize at a crafty event, something gifted to you because people think you can use just about anything on a card ... you know: free!

Take a look at the creations of our talented design team members:
Deb Horst
(free Sunflower stencil...challenge prize)


(damaged children's board book from Free Little Library)



(Old sewing pattern, buttons, part of a map and a phonebook, tiny flowers, trading stamps... mostly from friends and family doing a clear-out!)


(Free stamp sent as a thank you from a stamping company--from 2018--that I found while cleaning my craft space)

 As always we would love for you to shop your stash, join our crew, and play along.

Here are some details to keep in mind:
You have until 11:55 PM EDT on Monday, January 12th to upload your project using the Inlinkz below.  Make sure your link is a direct link to your NEW project, not just a generic link to your blog.

Please, no more than 13 combined challenges, including ours.
