#12 - Heavy metal birthday greetings

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use metal embellishments on your project...I have 4 kinds of metal on this one, all left over from kits and bits...the button was kind of cool, the last of it's kind....same with the odd flowery shape that I never knew what to do with....stuck it on with a photo fastener and used a metal heart to top it all off...play along with us this week....and use up some of your stuff!

#11 - mmmm chocolate

This weeks challenge at the Opus Gluei is Chocolate, Chocolate and more Chocolate...pretty easy thing to get your mouth drooling....I bought this set and never really thought I would use it, but just thought it was too cute....mixed it up with a phrase from another set and voila!  Another two sets of stamps that have seen ink this year!  Play along with us, will you?

#10 - birthday spinner

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to make your own embellishments.  I made a spinner card for someone at work because spinner cards are so much fun!  Won't you join in with us this week and show us your creations?

#09 - you're a pop star

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is all about shiny things...bling, glitter, sparkles- you name it...I love sparkly things...I just joined in the Stamps of Life monthly "die hard" club and this was my first die and stamp set that arrived...my new challenge is to make sure everything sees ink and gets used at least once, so off I went to try this one out!  I used scrap cardstock and some remaining kit paper...the beads I got for free at a sale and felt they had to get used or why did I take them?  I covered the popcorn box in some rock candy stickles that I had sitting around (and never seem to ever use, even though I always end up buying them) and I coloured with some copics...haven't used them in a bit, so I pulled them out...plus I got some cool storage for them and my washi tapes...see below:


 
I sure do love when everything is portable and at your finger tips....let the creating continue!

#08 - my love

this week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is to use red, white and pink....I am not big into the Valentines cards, but I had this cool paper piece laying on my island and it was calling my name...so I chopped it up and a card it became...play along with us, won't you?

#07 - oh so lovely

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is something Valentiney - I hope this is close enough - inside it says will you be mine?  I know it is not the traditional red white and pink colour combo...but hopefully it looks like something on would give to a true love...play along with us, will you?
