#6 - days of yore

This week's challenge is to use vintage, distressed or shabby chic at Shopping our Stash...this is a style that I am very envious that other people pull off so easily.  No matter the inking or how many layers I put in to it, I never really like my end results.  This one was done with all odds and ends and bits and pieces, but it still feels like it is missing something....just not sure what??  Oh well...this is definitely a challenge for me and I am glad I got to use up some supplies that were just laying around...play along with us, will you?

#4 and #5 - all that glitters is gold

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is pretty self explanatory - all that glitters is gold...I did two varieties for this challenge following the same set up - one for a wedding and one for a thank you card...using gold is not my favourite...I always will gravitate to silver when doing metallic projects, but I like the way these turned out...might have to use gold more ofter..play along with us, will you?

#3 - fantastical beasts

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use fanastical beasts on your projects - monsters, faeries, unicorns - what ever your heart desires...I will always flock to a monster in a challenge like this...so here is mine...he is a left over from a kit I got a couple of years ago...it is almost completely used up now...just a couple more cards left to make from it...play along will you?

#2 - stickle me elmo

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use stickles or a like glittery substance on your project.  I used lots of sparkly, glittery goodness on this card - all with scrap paper from the paper stack...I love this stamp and there are only a few people I know that I can give it to, but they will absolutely get a kick out of it if they get it...play along will you?

#1 - shaped card

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to make a shaped card - but not round or square...I chose a flower to try and get spring to show up here as we are awaiting another blizzard while I type this post...the flowers on the card were cut about 2 years ago and just begging to be rolled and used...so to start off the new year in a good way - all pieces on this card are from scraps.  Play along with us, will you?
