#73 - blue Christmas -

This week at Shopping our Stash we are doing a two week challenge to celebrate the holidays....I made these cards with some super sparkly paper and then did a monochormati kind of look to them...it is kind of hard to see how sparkly the die cut really is, but trust me the bling factor is there...and they were super hard to poke out all of the little pieces as the paper had a plasticy layer that I didn't know about when I started...play along won't you?

#72 - christmas inchies

The challenge this week at Shopping our Stash is to use product packaging in your design...These inchies were all made with the cardboard backing from a new stamp set that I just unwrapped...I try and ditch my packaging before hubby sees new stuff, so there wasn't much for me to choose from...but I scrounged around and this is what I could come up with...play along, won't you?

#71 -the stockings were hung

This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is to do something with shopping or Christmas or both....we spent the whole evening on Saturday shopping at our mall (there was an after hours fundraiser and we shopped along with thousands of other people to get a jump on the Christmas season...but didn't buy much as it was just too crazy busy)...but just thinking about Christmas brought this card to mind:

#70 Mickey and the Mistletoe

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use something that was on your desk...I had my box of dies out and these cute little craft cards (trying to use them up...doesn't seem to be a problem though)...I had this sparkly paper out too for some other Christmas cards, but  I thought I would blast these out of the scraps.....

#69 - fall thanks

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to give thanks...I scooped these papers up from a paper slab that my mom had and swiped them to make this little thank you card....won't you join in with us this week?

#68 - leaf thanks

This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is to give thanks...I made this card for one of the Chickies on the Opus Gluei blog and it should arrive in the mail some time this week filled with little inchies...hoping they like it!  Check out and play along with the challenge this week, won't you?
