Scrap Diva Tournament, Grand Finale, Step 1

OK, girls! Here is my "trash stash". Lucky for me, hoarder is my middle name, so even though I'm at my country house (which, buy the way is almost entirely furnished and decorated with old upcycled items) and not in the house that holds my major stash, I could still make a fine selection while hoarding my cupboards and drawers ;-)


So, I chose five papers - one piece of Bazzill kraft cardstock, and four sheets from the MME Chalk Studio line.
And there was no way I could limit myself to just ten items, so here goes:

1 plastic bag from Lisbeth Dahl, Copenhagen
1 small chunk of wood wool
1 piece of a broken yardstick (I knew it would come in handy some day!)
1 black paper clip
1 swan feather
1 piece of ball chain (from a jeans tag)
1 piece of silver-colored string (from a prize tag)
1 page from a broken dictionary (salvaged from the school where I teach)
1 sheet of tissue paper (from a new box of underwear that I opened the other day)
1 lid from a glass jar
1 chrocheted doily (which I saved from entering the trash can when my cousin cleared out her grandmother's apartment, so technically it is trash, even though most of us would consider it a treasure)
1 white ribbon (which was tied around a blanket I bought for hubby last Christmas)
1 tyre from a toy car
2 tags, (1 from a pair of slip-on Converse, and one from a Christmas ornament)
1 wine bottle cap
1 cork (half wood and half cork, from a bottle of mulled wine)
1 piece of denim fabric
1 odd end of T-shirt yarn (left over from a rug I'm chrocheting for my son's room)

Yup, that's it. I can't wait to see what the next part of the challenge is going to be!
