#79 - wish you were here

This weeks challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use up the last of something...I accomplished that on a few fronts with this card...the last of a card kit, the last button and the last piece of chipboard...bam, pow, kerpop!  Done!  Play along with us, won't you?  I am hoping to get a few more projects completed over the next couple weeks and get all 2500 pictures from Hawaii into my albums...so much to do, so little time!  My new year's resolution this year is to try and use up all my purchased kits....and maybe cut down on some spending for craft stuff...however, I say that every year and the stash just seems to keep growing...but that is my challenge for this upcoming year...going to try the 365 challenge again...365 different projects completed in a year...join in if you like...no rules...just personal goals....and to use up "stuff"...

#78 - 29 again?

The Opus Gluei Challenge this week is to use leftovers...food or supplies...I chose supplies as I needed a card quick...this card was made with some left over ribbon and papers laying around my craft area....I had this flower that was the last sticker on the sheet and thought it fit in sort of nicely...play along with us and have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

#77 - one colour card

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use one main colour or a tone on tone card...this one cam around quite by accident and it just so happened that the paper, embellishments and ink all matched to a tee event though it was not planned out that way...and I used the wrong stamp on the card from what I had actually meant to use (they were not in the right order in the container and I didn't read close enough)...but the sentiment kind of worked quite well in the situation...play along with us, will you?


 

#76 - circles

The challenge this week at the Opus Gluei is to use circles in your project...I have been running in circles trying to get to this project...right now we are hopefully sunning ourselves in Tropical Hawaii...as long as there were no typhoons or hurricanes or tsunamis or sinking cruise ships....if there have been, please disregard this happy message :) (what happens when you write stuff in the future and all)...I had a card kit that I just had to use up before we left and this is what I came up with:

#75 - missing you

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is tic tac toe- I went for the bottom line and used a die cut, wood and buttons for this card....it says missing you and that I am as I am almost done my (hopefully) fabulous vacation....join us, won't you?

#74 brrr...it's chilly outside

This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is bbbrrr it is chilly outside...we are to use something to do with winter...penguins, ice, snow etc...I am just loving Jana's project...reminds me of here....I made a cozier type card to try and ward off the winter chills... (but really I am just looking forward to our cruise to Hawaii this week, where I will truly escape the cold for the first time ever)...giddy with excitement!
