#45 - the most wonderful time of the year

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to do a project about your favourite time of the year...I am not sure that winter is my favourite, in fact I think it is not, but you couldn't get a more perfect sentiment on a paper than this, so for a really warm day in august, I will make winter my favourite time of the year, but only temporarily until it cools off here...play along, will you?

#42 -44 wood is good

This week's challenge at shopping our stash is to use wood grain or real wood on your project...I had this gorgeous wood grain paper that needed using up so that is what I did...it gives such a peaceful look for sympathy cards so I thought I would whip up a few because it seems there are never enough of them.  Play along with us, will you?

#41 - spice up your life

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to spice up your life by making a project based off of one of the spice girls - baby, scary, sporty, ginger or posh.  I chose ginger to use some orange oxide inks with a fun technique...and a coffee girl from unity stamps because she is just too much fun...play along with us, will you?

#32 - #40 countdown to Christmas

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to do a Christmas project.  So as much as it hurt my feelings to do Christmas cards when it is +30 C at my house (and with summer being so short and winter being so incredibly long and cold) I broke down and did 8 - yes you heard me - 8 cards in all white, like the snow....bbrrr...although after this heat a quick little snow might not feel so bad....no I didn't really say that....play along with us, will you?
