#57 - shower curtain fun

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to make a card using your shower curtain as an inspiration...ours is just a simple boring dot one, but it made kind of a fun card....

why don't you join in the fun?  You can even use one of the design team curtains if you don't have one of your own!  Just make sure to include a picture of your curtain when you play along!

#56 - birthday butterfly



This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is "happy birthday to me" - it was my birthday over the weekend and the girls at work sent a card around for signing for me...the funny part was that I had this card with me in the pile of cards at work and one of the girls used it to "give to her mom" and lo and behold it comes around signed and lands on my desk....it feels strange making your own birthday card...but hey, what can I say...they like them. Play along with us, will you?

#55 - oh no you din't

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use a picture of a person on your project - real or stamped.....I have a few of these retro ladies that I picked up a few years back and just don't really use them often enough...I also like this sassy little phrase and had all these scraps laying in the scrap pile....the ribbon is probably 10 years old and I finished it up...whahoo!  Play along with us, will you?

#52 - Don't crimp my style

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is "don't crimp my style"  - you must use something corrugated on your projects...this paper came already corrugated for me, so I didn't have to locate my crimping tool...which is good cuz I haven't seen it in a while and am not really sure that I still have it in my stash....but now I may just have to look for it because I do know that I did own one at some point in my scrappy life...play along with us, will you?
