This is a quick posting as I do want to get in an entry for Shopping Our Stash Challenge, it makes me feel a bit less guilty about all my stash:). This week it's Scrap Attack or recycle. I saw a gorgeous card by Julie, which I have partly CASED, with Julie's kind permission. My scraps are those forlorn, cut into sheets from a Basic Grey 6x6 pad that I don't want to throw away because I love the DP but aren't good for much. I stamped flags using Lindsay Mason stamps that I bought at the recent Craft Barn Extravaganza and then stamped them onto the tiny scraps, the sentiment is from the set too. The paper pieced flags are highlighted with a blue marker and a white gel pen. Although the papers are all from the same set, the scale is small and it is hard to see that they are related. I prefers Julie's colour coordinated card and will try something similar another time.
My card is for:
Shopping Our Stash - scrap attack
Cupcake Crafts - single layer card
Kaboodledoodles - celebrations
2 Sisters - birthday - and Happy Blogaversary to them too!
Ellephantastic - birthday and another Happy Blogaversary!
PS Grrr... DH thought they were pants. I mean underpants rather than being rude about the card as such. Definitely need to try another version...
hee hee I'm with DH - I thought they were underpants, too. :):):)
