This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is called "Somewhere over the rainbow" and as the name suggests the project should have some sort of rainbow related image or colouring in it. I went for a rainbow sentiment and rainbow coloured gradient background and a grey rainbow to switch things up a little. Play along with us, will you?

SOS - Pyjama day
Happy New Year...this week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to design a project around some pyjamas. Mine is not really a new project this week (as we were celebrating our girls' 21st birthdays in Las Vegas this week - even though one just turned 23 while we were there - stupid covid put off our plans for a couple of years) - but I made this card a bit ago and they are my daughter's most favourite Kate Spade pjs, so I decided I would use it anyway. Play along will you?

SOS -Shine Bright Like A Diamond
This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is called Shine bright like a Diamond - we are to bling up a project or use something representing light like a candle, lightbulb or the sun. I made this clean and simple card with the cutest little lamp die...clean and simple is not something I excel at as I possess the "too much" gene and often don't know when enough is enough and feel that more is better. But I really like the way this one turned out. Play along with us, will you?

A Tiny Craft - remembering Lindsey
This month at A Tiny Craft we are celebrating the life of one of our own design team members - Lindsey who passed this past month. I didn't know her well as I just started working with her on this design team and am really saddened that I didn't get to work with her more and get to know her better. She had an awesome clean and simple style and loved cats. This is what I focused on when making my cards this week. They will be donated to our food bank breakfast program in her memory to keep her crafting style alive. She will surely be missed by many. Play along with us this month, will you?
