Inspired by Christmas Cookies.
Hello friends, family and followers this is the first time I have never been overwhelmed with an inspiration prompt, I zoned in on not only one but three cookies I was inspired by trouble is I only have one done so far. Second idea is in the works. First I will show you the inspirational picture from the Jingle Belles challenge blog
Shower Me with Sunshine!!
You might have guessed already but at Shopping Our Stash we want to see projects pertaining to a Baby Shower or a Bridal Shower being April I'm sure there are lots of June brides hoping their maid of honour is going to throw them a shower, well it doesn't matter what time of year there is someone expecting a little one. In this day and age there is rarely a generic shower as most expectant parents want to know whether it is a boy or girl. With that being said I chose Baby Shower.

Fractured Mini Slimline Cards.....
Hello again, yes these Fractured cards are really addictive and I tried the technique on a mini slimline card. I love the mini slimline cards for putting a bit of "folding money" in it fits perfect with no folding an end over. While searching for something in my stash of "stuff" a long diamond die set popped up, never even been taken apart, so you know it's a NBUS. When I saw it I immediately thought I could make a fractured mini slimline card using it instead of a square, it did take some extra time to cut the 1/4 inch strip ends so the next one fit perfect. I did use just a single piece of patterned paper as it was my first try, next I will try one with different pieces of paper.

Spring Has Sprung!!
Spring has Sprung at Shopping Our Stash so for SOS518 we want to see your Spring or Easter projects. Now here in SWO (southwestern Ontario) I thing we have sprung into Spring at least 3 times, my daffodils and tulips were totally out of the ground when we got our last blast and wow it was cold, fingers crossed they will survive. I went with the "spring" part although there were plans for Easter so if you see it on the blog it's a surprise.

Holiday Cards to Die (Cut) For.....
Intriguing caption for the newest challenge at the Jingle Belles and I have so many sets of dies that have never seen cardstock I could have used more if I could find time. I will apologize first for the less than stellar photos but here is my card.
Seeing Spots....
Hello and welcome to a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash!! SOS#517 ~~ Round and Round, sounds like a fun challenge and we want to see round cards or feature circles, dots or spots on your project. I decided to tackle a Round easel card....now it does look complicated but it is so, so easy and you can make it what ever size circle dies you have. I used some infinity circle dies, spellbinders dies and a scalloped die from a fun card die set. All three of these are many years old and the set to make the card, hmmm cut out but never finished.(couldn't locate it when I wanted it)
