#98-107 - smooshing

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use a ink smoothing technique on your project.  I was asked by my local legion to make some Christmas cards for our troops overseas to add to the shoe boxes of supplies that they send.  I am making 40 of them and this is a few that I have started with.  I used oxide inks to do the smoothing with and thought the result was cool.  Play along with us, will you?

#97-where you are from

This week's challenge at shopping our stash is to let us know where you are from by using something on your project that represents where you live....I chose red and white for Canada and snow flakes for my home city which has been so appropriately dubbed winterpeg.  We haven't had snow yet but wow it was chilly the last few mornings which means the months of torturous white stuff and cold are not far off now...not to jinx it, hopefully there will be a really long fall....play along with us, will you?

#96 - up cycling

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is up cycling...use something that would be trash and make it into something new...I chose to use these paint samples and an old clipboard and spruced it up a bit for my Christmas list of purchased gifts....play along with us, will you?

#94-95 crazy for colouring

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is called crazy for colouring and the title says it all...just colour something...whether it is with markers, crayons, inks, gelato or pencil crayons - just get your colour on.  I used copic markers on these little barn animals...just some basic colours, nothing too detailed.  Play along with us, will you?
