#63 - rolling rolling rolling




This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use round in your project...this one has so many round aspects that it hurts...first the dome ball  and all the circle cuts and then the million styrofoam little balls...they are still rolling all over my craft room...everywhere...turns out there was a hole in the bag and when my daughter squeezed it to hand it to me they blew up everywhere....but the end result is worth the endless vaccuuming...these guys are sooo cute in real life and will have a space on my Christmas tree for years to come!  Join in with us this week, will you?

#62 - have a bootiful day

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use halloween type stuff...I am not a halloween card maker, but I do think this set is super adorable, so I had to play with it...I think I will put this one in a little frame and put it up on my desk at work for the next couple of weeks, cuz it is just fun and my workplace is incredibly bland and dull....

#63 - be merry


My friend Lauren of the Jingle Belles and Shopping our Stash has issued a pink Christmas Card challenge where she and her partner in crime will be donating money towards breast cancer research for all the cards entered, so, even though I haven't participated in a challenge lately, this was one worth hopping on board for!  Join in too for this fabulous cause!

#61 - oh my monster girl

This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is to use a halloween theme...I don't generally make cards for halloween, but I did come up with this little one using monsters and halloweeny colour...hopefully it qualified....play along with us, won't you?

#60 - keep calm and have a cupcake

This weeks challenge at Shopping our Stash is "sweetie" - use something sweet on your project for someone sweet....nothing is sweeter than getting a cupcake so that is what I thought of for this challenge....I hadn't used this stamp set yet and the papers were scraps, so bonus!  This was the last canvas butterfly from my package that I was "holding on to" for something important someday...just used it up...yay me!  Play along with us, won't you?

# 59 - give thanks

The challenge at Shopping our Stash this week is to use fall colours on your project...we have Thanksgiving weekend coming up this weekend and a couple of dinners to go to...love this time of the year...the weather has cooled way down and we are hoping for a nice day this weekend for a trip to the lake for turkey!  Play along with us, won't you?
