Challenge #61: Something Old - Something New

Welcome to 2012 - here's to another year of challenges and fun!

We enjoyed looking at your entries for the last challenge and have been inspired by different ways on how to make use of those buttons!

For Challenge No #61 we would like to see you use something OLD and something NEW.

We tend to buy the latest and greatest stuff that is available to adorn our projects but what about the older stash we still have sitting gathering dust?

This month we challenge you to create a project which uses 50% of the oldest stash you have in your possession and 50% of the newest stuff you bought.

---*---

Be sure and comment with a link to your *newly created* project so we can see and comment on them. 

---*---

If you link us to an online gallery, make sure that you only use one for which we do not need to register in order to view/comment

Please also consider to switch of word verification on your blogs if you would like our DT to leave comment. If you are worried about Spam you may want to have commen moderation enabled instead

And here are our DT examples to give you an idea on how to combine the old with the new
