#44 pinwheel

This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is to pin it, spin it and win it...using something from Pinterest to tempt you, make a project that is inspired by someone els...this card also gets the "pin" it from the pinwheel, the "spin" it as a spinner card and win it cuz it is just fun...thanks for the idea and template goes out to my friend Cheryl....join us, won't you?

#43 - bundle of joy

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use your oldest embellishments....okay, so these are the oldest embellishments around in the history of my embellishment purchases (I think)...they were bought for a baby card more than 12 years ago and had never been used until today....plain, simple and to the point (plus the only really old things I have unpacked - they were in the bottom pouch of my rollie tote and I never knew they were there)...pull out your oldest stuff and join us, won't you? 

#42 - geometry rules

Deena

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use geometric patterns...I am totally addicted to using hexagons right now, but several design team members also had the same idea, so I switched it up a little...I thought I would go all geometry on you and use a bunch of parallelograms...yeah, that's right, I said it....geometry rules ;)  Come and play with us, won't you?

#41 - Forever grateful

This week's challenge with the Opus Gluei Poohbahs is things with wings - fairies, butterflies, birds etc...this is about as clean and simple as you could possibly get for a card - especially one from me, but with all my stuff packed away and time at a premium this is what you get...but I kind of like the way that it turned out....the orange is all sparkly looking in real life so it does have a bit of dimension....but my basement has cabinets ordered and the electricity is now complete...drywall goes up next week and then we are off to the races...hopefully mid-july will bring me back into the real crafting world instead of the stuff I jammed into a box of "what I might need over the next 3 months" - that stuff is never enough!  Play along, won't you?

#40 - Get well soon

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use your oldest stamps for a project - most of my stamps are still packed up and put out of reach while the basement is being finished (my cupboards are ordered and so is my countertop, so it won't be long now...maybe mid-July???)...seriously suffering from some withdrawl the last couple of weeks....this one happened to be in a different box by accident as it was missed while packing....bonus...otherwise I would have to cheat with all brand new stuff that I am not supposed to be buying ;) - play along with is, won't you?

#39 - talk nerdy to me

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is no designer papers at all...I came up with these little glasses from a die and some scraps from another project and I think they are just so much fun...borrowed the little gems from my friend Rose to touch up those cat's eye frames and add an air of glam to the card...join us, won't you?
