I'm so happy that you have decided to join us for the Let's Scrap Hoppy New Year Blog Hop! It starts Friday, Jan.14, 2011 and runs until 11:59 pm central time on Monday, Feb. 14, 2011. That’s right: it runs for a whole month! Because it is the New Year we thought it would be fun to name the challenges Resolutions rather than Challenge #1,Challenge #2 etc.

There are 15 Design team, Contributing Design Team and Administrators from Let’s Scrap hosting the blog hop. They will each have a Resolution (challenge) for you to do and a prize that you can win. Also one of the members of the group who doesn’t have a blog is posting a couple of great challenges in the Let’s Scrap Forum and there will be in depth rules and other important information posted in the forum, so make sure to check it all out.
Not only do you have a chance to win a prize for each challenge you enter but if you complete and post an entry for EVERY challenge along the blog hop by February14, 2011, your name will be entered into a random drawing for a wonderful prize supplied by Cosmo Cricket. On every blog in the hop you must become a follower and leave a little love (a comment) for the host. Okay, are you ready to start the Let's Scrap...hop? First of all, make sure you start by checking Resolution#1 at Let’s Get Scrap Happy (though, of course, you may complete resolutions/challenges in any order and/or may choose to skip some if you’re not aiming for the big prize). Now, have a look at the rules for the hop here.
Now we are ready to play. Resolution #5 is VERY simple: NOT TO OPEN ANYTHING NEW FOR THIS PROJECT. All you have to do is use a Let’s Scrap Sketch for a layout, card or project and promise not to open any new pack of ANYTHING for this layout. It doesn’t mean you have to use old products, it just means you need to have opened the pack of materials you are using now for a previous project. Of course, I can’t go to your house and check whether you have actually used a new set of stickers or the remaining letters from an older set, but what is the point of joining a challenge and not following the rules?
This is my example for this challenge, based on the left side of sketch 1-12-11.
Leave a comment here and load a photo of your work at Let’s Scrap and Tag it Resolution#5, otherwise I won’t be able to locate it among all the other layouts, cards, and projects that will be posted. This is the prize you can win (randomly drawn winner): .

The blog hop sounds like fun! I hope I have some time to play along! I love the challenge of not opening anything new... I really am trying to use what I have this year! Love the card... especially the embossing!
Barb :)
Super cute! I like that you didn't keep the squares at the bottom, completely square and the colors are fantastic!
Great resolution! I will be digging through my open stash...honest!
Love your card Carolina and your challenge is fantastic. I have lots of packages I have opened but still have things left over. Great way to use up some of my stash.
This seems to be a theme,using your scraps! LOVE IT! It's actually one of my resolutions this year! Thanks!
What a great challenge, Carolina! I, too, am trying to stop my buying addiction....and the economy is sure helping me to do that! So I love this challenge! Cute card there, too. I am going to try to find my oldest scraps! And I'm a follower!
Cute Card!! and Fun Challenge:)
Great Idea Carolina!! Love your card!
Stash scrappin' what a great idea...there's no telling what I might find? Thanks for the resolution! :O)
Very nice layout. I have plenty of things open and partially used. I should be able to find something to use for this.
I love your card! I like the twine tied to the tops of the letters! Great idea!~
Sounds like a challenge I need to do more than once!! I definitly have a lot of unused product so this is a great challenge!
I love stash challenges. My goal is to really smash a dent into the huge amount of supplies I have. I am in, and I won't open anything, I promise!
As I said in the gallery, really love your card!
I like this challenge ... right up my alley.. I haven't been near a scrap shop in MONTHS... !!! So everything I have is open already and I can just scrap to my hearts content.. LOL... Loving these challenges.. thank you so much !
This shouldn't be too difficult - I have loads of stuff that has been opened and just left to gather dust (lol)
I've never done a blog hop before, but i'm going to play along and have some fun. I have a lot of packages with left overs.
I am now a follower!
Great challenge I love using up what I already have! Cant wait to get started!
I have a desk piled up with bits and pieces from the last month so this will help me tidy up a bit!
Hello!
Well I feel I know you already; you live in paradise and you draw my name in another challenge!
So I'm definitely giong to try to participate in your challenge - only after I have opened up a new packet of thickers that I'll need soon...

Your card is super cute!! Using old stash is always tough for me but I'll try ;)
Great card. Great resolution.
Just uploaded my layout for your challenge . . . and I'm a happy follower of your blog. YEAH!!! Enjoy the time with your parents, I know how special it is when you live abroad!!

I am new to blog hops love the challenge of using what I already have opened and used part of. Love the card.
LOL - easy challenge for me - I dont have any unopened packs of anything! lol Love that card - and the ey elets in the "Hi" Very cute!
Oh I needed this challenge/resolution! I need to use what I have, it's SO much! ;)
Love your card, the embossing's awesome!
Your resolution is my favorite so far because I am trying really hard not to buy anything new and to use up all of my old scraps and product as well.
Hope I get to participate in all of the hopping funness!
This won't be a very hard challenge for me because I have resolved NOT to buy anything new until I have used up a heap of my stash and paper scraps. Hence the Scrappin' Annie. Love your little card!
I AM A FOLLOWER
Great resolution, i think i can do this one!!
Caro, I don't know what happended but my message got posted like 5 times. I deleted them all but one...............
that's a cute card! I can do this! I have many packages already opened waiting to be used plus scraps of pp.
Cute card! I am a follower!
Hi Carolina, Loved your challenge. Did not open anything new!!!! I cannot believe that I am not already a follower, But I am now. Your blog is awesome. My LO is uploaded in te gallery.

Bev
Yay! My layout is done and uploaded to the Let's Scrap gallery! Great challenge - I really need to do that more often! :)
This one was really easy for me - I haven't opened anything new for the whole blog hop! I need to move my scrapbooking supplies to a smaller space next month, so this is a great way for me to try and use up some of them!
Love your work, and cant wait to get started on this hop...so much fun! Thanks for the 'resolution'....could be a tough one for me....lol
OH Just the Resolution for me !! I have some much stuff left over !! Cant wait to start !!
Just posted mine. Made it with all scraps.
Perfect challenge as I have to use up alot of this stash to be able to buy some new product!
So let me guess, you also have stacks of forgotten stuff and are trying to get rid of it. My plan for 2010 ... use what you have and buy only what you need. Trying to stick to purchasing cardstock only, I have enough of everything else. As my hubby says: Enough stuff to open your own store, Lol.
Your resolution was such a great idea,I have used papers that I have had for years.It was lovely getting them out again after all this time, it brought back memories of when I first used them :D
the hard part will choosing what in my stash to use
Caro, I just finished my page today and loved it. Stash challenges are my favorites. Thanks again and have a good weekend!
It is really amazing!Your card is very Beautiful - Wow!
Love your challenge! Got lots of scraps to use...
Great challenges. I fid it difficult to do all the blogs... Have no inspiration at the moment.. but I'm gonna try to do all 15... Great challenge
I make a box... I don't open anything :)))
bye
I love your cruise picture. There are so many levels and I think they look so great together. Cute card too.
Fun challenge, Carolina! Love that card!
What to do with the leftovers? Complete a challenge. We all have alphabets that are partly used and using your leftovers on a challenge like this definitely helps. Didn't open anything new:-) http://letsscrap.ning.com/photo/summer-holiday-2010?context=user
Just completed Resolution 5. Soooooo much fun. Helpful ideal to use items already opened in stash.
This one was such a fun to do. The flowers are punched and the palm trees are... well just bits and pieces.
Great Challenge. This whole year I plan on opening very little new things. I'm on a missing to use up my stash.
Love the Card.
Thanks for posting my BLOG CANDY TOO on your blog - I love the support; I am now following you!!
Got it done! This was an easy challenge for me. I don't leave anything unopened. Gotta try it the minute it comes in :)
Great layout! I'm a follower, and have my layout posted over at Let's Scrap. Thanks for helping me use my stash up!!
Here is what I did with it

I made this simple notecard last night for you resolution challenge. I had some fun papers that I had never used but had opened and played around with.
http://sherripriest.blogspot.com/2011/02/lets-scrap-resolutions.html
Loved this challenge as it gave me a chance to pull out some old stash and in the process landed up reorganizing my papers:-) Defenitely a follower.
Great challenge - I have been trying to get better at using my stash!
Hey Carolina, thanks for the great challenge of making a card or layout without opening anything new. It was a good exercise. I even used mostly scraps and nothing that was not already opened. I really liked your examples, especially the valentine card. I have uploaded my take on the resolution at Let's Scrap!
This was a quick & fun resolution. I love how my card turned out & I loved that I used some of my "stash" :) Thanks!
I have posted both a two-page layout AND a card into the LS gallery for your challenge, Carolina! I LOVE using older stuff and scraps! Thanks for the challenge. I am already a follower here!
I am already a follower.... my layout is now up in the gallery: http://letsscrap.ning.com/photo/resolution5fireman-1?context=user
Loved this challenge and brought it to almost every other resolution. Great way to start the new year and use up what I have!
I have really enjoyed playing along with this blog hop. I may not finish all the resolutions, but I have ahd a great time with the ones I did finish. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Nice LO fun resolution..:)
