#37-46 - no ink

The challenge this week at Shopping our Stash is to use no ink on your project.  This was a fun challenge for me as I realized I almost always use some sort of ink on my project. I decided I would go simplistic with these cards and cut up one sheet of paper that had all square sentiments on it and used coordinating papers to make 9 quick birthday cards. I blinged them up a little with some stickles and left them at that.  Play along, will you?

#36 - a vintage Christmas

This week's challenge at the Jingle Belles is my most feared and least skilled challenge...using vintage items to make a card...but it wouldn't be a challenge if it wasn't hard and I am always envious of Lauren's ability to make vintage magnificent...so I played along..I don't have much vintage in my stash, but I think I made it work.

#35 - Easter bunny

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is called here comes Peter cotton tail - you need to do something Easter related on your card - bunnies, chocolate eggs etc.  I chose this little cutie as he just called to be used...all papers were from the scrap bucket on my desk...play along will you?

#34 - sounds of Christmas

I played along with the Jingle Belles this week and their prompt is to sing a song of Christmas this week by using something musical on your card.  I had this music paper in my scrap bucket and thought it would be perfect for this card.  Everything on this card is from scraps as I am determined to use up the bucket this year.

#32 - 33 put a bird on it

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to put a bird on it...I got these hipster birds a while back and thought I would crack them out and introduce them to some ink.  I used a stencil on the first one and the second is just a bonus using the scraps from the shaker card and background, so it's a twofer.  Play along with is, will you?

#31- fashion statement

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use a dress on your project...I am not sure if this counts - I think a Kimono is like a dress?? but I had these stickers that have been sitting in my stash for years and I wanted to get them used up.  Play along with us, will you?

#29-30 - itty bitty Christmas

I played along with the Jingle Belles this week and they are focusing on an itty bitty Christmas...using inchie and twinchies...I decided to combine the two and did inchie on one side and twinchie on the other...I thought they turned out kind of cute, especially because all the pieces were in my scrap bucket...
