SOS - true confessions of the design team

 This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use something that you have a lot of and really don't want to admit how much you truly have of that item.  My craft room is full to the brim right now and I certainly don't need more hot foil, hot foil plates, stamps, dies or paper.  So I have been on a mission to try and use some of the supplies up and not hoard them.  Play along with us, will you?

SOSS - A is for Autumn

 This week's challenge at the Sisterhood of the Snarky Stampers is A is for Autumn.  I am not looking forward to the end of summer because that means winter is on the way but it was only +7 this morning so I know it is inevitable and almost here.  The only bonus is it is time to pull out the cool weather sweaters - hence the card.  Play along with us, will you?

SOS - just because

 This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to make a card for Just Because day - and send it for no particular reason.  I chose this fun stamp and decided it was due to see ink for the first time.  The little bees I picked up ages ago at dollarama and have decided they need to get used up.  Play along with us, will you?
