Hello and welcome to the first Shopping Our Stash challenge of 2025....Glitter me happy. Glitter makes me smile but only if I'm not using loose glitter. My first idea was a technique using tombow glue with a bit of water with glitter to look like snow/ice but neither of the two glitter containers were on the shelf, so Stardust stickles was my glitter of choice for my snow scene.

Stars
Happy New Years Eve Day!! It's my last blog post of 2024 and I'm still in Holiday mode, it is always nice to have Winter cards available. I didn't get many cards mailed as Canada Post was on strike so Winter cards it is. Shopping Our Stash is celebrating Stars, we want to see stars on your project.

My Precious
The challenge for this fortnight at Shopping Our Stash is to use something on your project you have been hoarding. Could it be the last piece of a favourite paper, perhaps a piece of vintage lace or a fancy embellishment well we want you to be strong and give it the starring role on your project. Although I'm sure I have other items this last piece of 12 X 12 patterned paper from Echo Park kept getting back in the drawer I just couldn't bear to make that first cut.

The Jingle Belles 2024 Challenge.
Just a quick post tonight, hoth Lauren and Stephanie posted their Jingle cards for 2024 and even though I missed a lot of the prompts I'm pleased with my small offering. I am looking forward to January 1, 2025 when they start the quest for eliminating the chaos in November by following their blog.

It's a Banner Holiday!!!
It's been a banner challenge for almost 2 weeks and with one hour to spare I managed a card for the Jingle Belles Challenge. So due the time constraints and my left hand not touching the keyboard properly causing so many typos and I have no time for that nonsense.

Snow Day!!!
Hello and welcome to a new Challenge at Shopping Our Stash ~~ Winter......not a holiday. What a fabulous theme, especially for me since I'm sending "Winter" cards after the Canada Post strike is settled, If it is too long I will be sending Valentines. My stash busting was at it's best this challenge as I used a stamp/die set I got from the 25 days of Christmas Tags in 2023 and have never used it as well as the front sentiment and the Echo Park patterned paper I have been hoarding for a couple of years as well.
