The Outlawz Crash your Stash Challenge: Stickers

Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed. ~Charles Schulz

Good morning!
Today is the start of a  new “Crash your Stash” challenge at The Outlawz Challenges sponsored by Drawn by Krista. You can check out her ETSY shop HERE.

Our item for this month is STICKERS

I have bits and pieces of stickers sheets left from purchases for specific projects or maybe I bought and never used. Either way, I just can't seem to get rid of them because I know that as soon as I do I will need them!

For my card I created a bit of a design using some dot stickers I had been given a while ago. I thought they looked fun and birthday-ish. The cute little image is called Happy Birthday Dino.


Supplies:
  • Sponsor image printed on Stampin Up Whisper White Cardstock
  • Black manga pen
  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
  • Diamond glaze from Close to My Heart

SheepSki Designs: Flowers and/or Hearts

I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. ~Author unknown

Hi there!

Today starts a new monthly challenge on the SheepSki Designs Challenge Blog and this month our challenge theme is “Flowers and/or Hearts”.

For my card I am using an image that combines both: Floral Heart - image no 66. I really love using this image as it is one that looks great done in soft pastel colors or bright vivid colors.

  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and Stampin Up!
  • Die from Spellbinders
  • India Ink from Memories
  • Nuvo Drops

  • ProMarkers
  • Sentiment from The Angel Company (closed)
  • Shimmer paper from Neenah
