#63 - graduation

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to celebrate the graduates in your life.  We had one last year and one next year, so there are none in our house this year, but some of the girls' friends are graduating this year so this is one of the cards I made for them.  Nothing too fancy but still it looks elegant to me.  Play along with us, will you?

#61-62 - may flowers

This week's challenge at Shopping our stash is to use flowers on your project...That is an easy one for me, I love to work with flowers.  I used this die with some paper piecing to make some shaker cards out of some scrap papers and leftover beads and buttons from another project.  play along with us, will you?

#57-#60 - for the kids

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is "for the kids" and what do you need more for a card for kids than birthday, so I whipped up a couple of them to have on hand for the nieces and nephews and any that my girls need to give to friends.  This was a simple pattern but worked for all the different cards.  Play along with us, will you?

#56 - butterflies

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use a butterfly on your project.  This butterfly is new to my stash...it showed up in my mailbox last week to be exact, however, everything else on this card is made from scraps and old embellishments.  I am not sure if you can tell in the picture, but the butterfly is actually 4 layers on top of each other, all inked the same and popped up with dimensionals.  Play along with us, will you?

#55 - Happy Mother's Day

This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to make a Mother's Day project.  My mom's favourite styles are black and white or anything with teal, so I combined the two for her here.  And it goes without saying (well at least if my sister is around) that I am her favourite child - lol.  Play along with us, will you?
