#46 - triple threat

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is triple threat - you must use at least three of the following items:
ribbon, flowers, lace, pearls, spray/mist, punch/diecut, rhinestones, doilies, and/or dry embossing/scoring.  Or you can use three of one embellishment if the other is too much for you to handle...I used the flowers, riboon, die cut and black pearls for my card...play along with us, won't you?

#45 -you said what?

This week's challenge at the Opus Gluei is to use an unforgettable book for an inspiration - This monster totally reminds me of the drawings from "Where the Wild Things are".....by Maurice Sendak...I know the colourings etc aren't quite there, but the resemblance is my inspiration anyway...play along with us, won't you?

#44 - holy shitake

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is "5 a day" - a fruits and veggie challenge...well I know that a mushroom is not technically a fruit or a veggie, if you ask my kids they are just as bad as vegetables, so I went with it....(and you can buy them in the fruit and veggie section of the grocery store....but then again at our you can buy tofurky there too and that is supposed to be a meat???).  Join in with us this week, will you?

#43 - something I can't put down

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is "something I can't put down"...lately I have been super into paper piecing and die cuts...I don't know what it is about putting a stamp on something with a pattern and die cutting it or fussy cutting it, but I am in 100%...something so much fun and relaxing about it...play along with us, will you?

#42 - pinwheel birthday

picnics, sunshine and summertime is the theme for this week's challenge over at the Opus Gluei...and nothing screams summertime than a cool pinwheel to me!  This paper kind of reminds me of a picnic tablecloth too, so it adds to the summery goodness...play along with us, will you?

#41 - wood or boats

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use wood, veneer or boats on your project...I chose a wood veneer butterfly covered in glitter...pretty yet still woodsy....join in this week, will you?

#40 - Happy Canada day!

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use your country's flag colours to make a project...Canada is a good, solid red and white...and this card is ever fitting for where I live right now...the mosquitos are in abundance as we have had nothing but rain since the snow melted in the end of May...it is shaping up to be a miserable summer here, but it is supposed to be El Nino this year for the winter, so one can hope it will be a mild one up coming...seeing as how we just got over the longest and coldest winter on record, here's to hoping that is true...play along with us, will you?
