Winners for Challenge #346 - A Blast from the Past

It was so much fun, and entertaining, too, reading about everyone's favourite retired crafting tools and how they use them! There were definitely some of my old favourites in the lists! And when you see the same tool listed time after time, you KNOW it was an oldie but a goodie!  And here are your winners for Challenge #346!

Our Top Pick is: Milla

Milla's favourite tool is a retired stamp set with an adorable, whimsical image of a bird and a wreath! There might be some argument about a stamp set being a tool, but you really couldn't stamp without stamps, so they are tools in the wide sense of the word. Milla has created a beautiful CAS card here with it, using cool colours, lots of textured white space, and a great background paper! The scalloped edged die cut was the perfect display panel for the stamped die cuts! Congratulations, Milla!

Our Featured Artist, Sandra Strobel, has created a steampunk project in a collage formatl! The Design Team loved that there were so many gears, chains, and other mechanical details, thanks to Sandra's favourite punches that she has kept, but also that the light coloured wood and blue theme, kept it from being overpowering! It's a feast for the eyes! Congratulations on being the Featured Artist, Sandra!
