Shopping our Stash #76 - BEST DEAL EVER!

This is my second post for today - 

**for my Tuesday Morning Sketches post, please scroll down or click here - thank you!!**

This week's Shopping our Stash challenge is a really fun one - create something using your BEST DEAL EVER! Something you just HAD to have because it was on sale. For me, generally, those things that I buy simply BECAUSE they're on sale...those end up being things I wonder about later. Case in point:

Fired Brick Distress Embossing Powder, for $2. 

WHY?

I have only one other colour of distress EP, simply because it is the only EP I have that sets off the smoke detector. Every time. So why did I need another colour?

because it was $2. 

Supplies: Basic Grey "Basics" paper;
velvet paper scrap;
heart buttons from Dress it Up!;
rub-on from EAD Designs;
hearts background stamp from Market Street Stamps;
Versamark & Fired Brick EP

I bought so many of those heart buttons years ago - and just now I'm getting down to the last couple dozen. Time to find more! The distress EP is meant to be rubbed after melting - there's 'grit' in it, so that your embossed area takes on a distressed look. Was it worth my $2? Sure. Am I going to use up that whole jar? Uh,no. probably not. 

So, what do you have in YOUR stash that was a totally awesome smoking deal? Would you have bought it if it wasn't a smoking deal? Make something with it, and tell us about it :)

This challenge will be open until next Monday night, November 12 - and don't forget to check out all my awesome (I love that word!) teammates:
