Shopping Our Stash #292 - Spring Colour Palette

Happy Tuesday and last day of February!!

Spring can't be too far behind now that we are heading into March right? RIGHT???

I don't know about you, but I am ready for some sunshine and warm weather!!

To inspire your thoughts of spring, this week the SHOPPING OUR STASH crew is bringing you a colour challenge.

We would like you to incorporate the colours in the spring colour palette below into your project.

I made an ATC for the challenge. I really like making ATCs and I don't make them nearly enough.

When I do make one I think, wow, that was a lot of work for such a little project!

I do however like seeing how much stuff from my stash I can squeeze into a small 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" space...as you can see below...quite a bit!

I may have taken some creative license with the colour palette, but if you look hard enough, all the colours are there! For reals!

Shite I used to make this ATC:

• ATC base (repurposed file folder box)
• Vintage Flower Adornments (SU)
• Lost & Found Salvage Stickers (Tim Holtz)
• Filmstrip Ribbon (Tim Holtz)
• Bling (Michaels)
• Stapler & staples
• Gauze tape
• Baker's twine
• Photo corners (Recollections)
• Mini ink blender tool (Tim Holtz)
• Bundled Sage distress ink (Tim Holtz)
• Everyday Flair design paper (My Mind's Eye)
• Sentiment Sticker (from Authentic Moments Burlap Kit - Tim Holtz)

As always, we would love for you to play along with us.

You can check out all the details for the challenge on the SHOPPING OUR STASH BLOG.

SoSS #77 - O is for Outrageous

Greetings snarky friends!

Thanks for coming to check out the latest challenge from Edna and the sisterhood of snarky stampers.

If you are thinking that Edna is looking a little off...you might be right.

Did you know that bagel head is a REAL thing??? I had no idea until I was recently enlightened by SISTER LEE.

Now that you are back from googling that...back to the challenge.

This time around O is for Outrageous...interpret that as you may.

For most of the sisterhood, this challenge lets us let fly with our snark and rudeness, although some of us (ME!!!) don't need much encouragement.

I did have someone specific in mind when I made this card, I may or may not give it to him LOL

I don't always love the cards I make, but when I do, I make another one...so here it is (although I still like the dude one better)!

SHITE I USED TO MAKE THESE CARDS:

• White cardstock (Fireworx)
• Red and black cardstock (Recollections)
• Retro people images (The Graphics Fairy)
• Sentiment stamp (Graphicat)
• Tuxedo Black ink (Memento)

As always, we would love for you to play along with us.

You can find all the details for the challenge on the SoSS BLOG.

While you are there please share some crafty love with the rest of the sisterhood and our Queen of Snark / Guest Designer.
