#56 - go paperless

 

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to go paperless - that is to not use any pattern paper...I seem to have fallen into a pattern of patternless paper lately and that is so sad as I probably have about 100000 pieces of patterned paper..but this one is done with stickers (so I didn't have to cheat) for the border and a retro card front piece...play along, will you?

#55 - spill the beans

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to get your caffeine fix in by making a project with something to do with coffee etc.

This paper was from an old travel set, however it worked perfectly for coffee cups in my opinion...the stamp and die set finally saw ink for the first time and I have had it for a couple of years,,,one of those ones I just "had to have"...play along with us, will you?

#54 - halloween fun

This weeks challenge at the Opus Gluei is a halloween one.  We have had the most gorgeous fall here in our neck of the woods and I hope it can keep up for all the little ghosties and goblins to take advantage of it for trick or treating...we usually have miserable weather by now requiring snow boots and big parkas and it takes the costumes to a whole new level of puffiness...fingers crossed this year will be as nice as today and maybe just light jackets will be necessary...but who knows, it is still almost 2 weeks away and things can change so fast here. I made several of these little candles to light our path in front of our house....now if the winds will just stay calm enough to keep them lit, they could look super cute....

#53 - i can see clearly

 

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use clear acetate to make a window or shaker card on your project...I chose to use the window type aspect with some sticky fun foam and stuck this to the outside of the window and did the window on the inside...play along with us, will you?

#52 - happy birthday

 

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is a birthday challenge. I loved this image and just had to use it up.   all the paper pieces are scraps from other projects that were just laying around and probably should have hit the trash a long time ago but I just can't part even with the smallest of pieces. Play along with us, will you?

#51 - happy thanksgiving

This week the challenge at the Opus Gluei is to do a project that reflects Thanksgiving for us Canadian folk who will be celebrating next weekend...I thought that these projects represented the harvest bounty that will be had at our tables at the two or three dinners we will be having and/or hosting next weekend... if you don't have anything to represent thanks, you can use our official colours of red and white or a maple leaf...play along will you?
