#82 - paper strip art

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use the Bargello technique...this is something I have not really played with before...but I had all these "party" coloured scraps laying in my scrap basket so I figured I would play around with it...ended up a little crooked, I am sure there is a better technique to assemble than what I used, but it was fun none the less...play along with us, will you?

#80-81 warm and fuzzy

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is "warm and Fuzzy" - do something that makes you feel warm and fuzzy...I went for warm for the scarf and fuzzy because I made these reindeer sparkly and fuzzy in real life...sparkle fluff all the way..what a time consuming and finicky project but so cute in the end...play along with us, will you?

#79 - front and centre

I dug deep into the scrap bucket on my desk this week for our Shopping our Stash challenge - to use something sittingon your desk...what a great challenge to use up scraps that are just sitting there staring you down and making you feel guilty by cutting into new paper when the old stuff is just sitting there taunting ...

#78 - giving thanks




This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is "gobble till you wobble or to give thanks" - I chose the thank you card as we have already had thanksgiving here in Canada and I don't usually give out turkey cards on that holiday.  It just so happens that my daughter came home from school on Friday and let me know that she is on the welcoming committee at school and volunteered to bring the thank you cards to the veterans coming for the Rememberance day service at the school on Thursday.  The teacher was giving her instructions on getting the thankyou cards at the dollar store and she promptly let him know that her mom makes cards and that a hand made card is a gazillion times nicer to get than a card from a dollar store...then she volunteered me to make them...lol...according to her they had to have poppies for rememberance day and lots of texture but they had to be good for a girl or a boy...(I tweaked a card I saw online from a Unity girl somewhere. Not sure who but I loved the style and thought I would add a bit to it).she wasn't sure how many were needed so I made 6 just in case...thanks for looking

#73 - home sweet home

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use a house on your project - all of the items used to make this card were kit leftovers that I had to get through....trying to use up all my bits and pieces in little card projects...play along, will you?
