Stash Raid Part Deux




Hiya folks!  I'm back with Craft Hoarders Anonymous' second challenge of the month.  Gloria does two each month so if you miss one, you can pop on over and give the second a try :)  Click on the title for a peek at all the fun and if you try, you just might win a prize!

This challenge had a color scheme with the prompt of "Let's see that hoard!"  You had to go into your stash and use what you seem to hoard the most.  Guess what?  I hoard everything!  From paper to buttons, bead and ribbon.  I made a cute little card easel style.  I really like those type.  Here is the color scheme -


Aren't the blues so pretty :)  They are so calming and peaceful.  Now here's my card -






 Whaddya think?  This was another awesome stash raid!  The blue buttons and snowflake buttons on the front I have had for about 5 years, bought them from Joann's. The blue raffia bow, and blue brads on the inside was from a swap that us pals from Memory Makers Mag boards had a few years back. Yup girls, I still have all my swappy goods!  My papers are from Bo Bunny's Winter Wonderland line that I won in a raffle at the best little lss in so Cali, Collective Journey when they had their weekend extravaganza, Let's Wrap Up Christmas in November.  That was a blast and to win the line was just icing on the cake :)

I cut the backs off my snowflake buttons where you'd sew them onto something and hot glued them on, printed up that quote on my pretty digi-scrap frame and inked it then did some stickling on it and the snowflakes.  Threaded my buttons, printed up another phrase for the inside put on my brads and just stuck it all down.  Hope you like it.

Ok, some chatty stuff since I haven't been chatty in a while.  Has anyone been watching True Detectives on HBO?  Man it is awesome!  How about Shameless?  I say, I think this is the best season yet. That Fiona is a real dope!  Can't wait for Game Of Thrones, now that is an awesome series.  Can you believe it's gonna be March in two weeks?  Me neither.  Time flies when you're having fun :)

Have a great week,

      Oh Court, I know :( My east coast family and friends are just sick over this winter. They were spoiled by the mild ones the past couple of years.

      I think as papercrafters it's in our nature to just hoard Tracey :)

    OK First of all I have to tell you that True Detective is one of the best shows that I have seen and Matthew and Woody were perfect for the leads... Can't wait for GoT either... I went to the place in Ireland where it was filmed too.... NOW... onto your project. Good on your for using stash. I am so bad with that... I keep telling myself I wont buy more and then I do... it seems I never have the right stuff. :( procrastinator thats what I am.... :D

      It was an awesome series Val! We loved it. Now GOT, that show is just awesome. The Red Wedding nearly killed me! My hubs and son read the books, so they were watching me just waiting for my reaction!

      I can never not buy stuff, and my closet is such a mess and I have been putting off cleaning it so I can better see what I have, but this challenge blog makes me have to get in there :D
