This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is weather related - or being under the weather. You can use any weather related theme or get well soon cards. I did a bit of both with these cards. The nice sunshine and rainbows makes me have some hope that spring will be here soon. Hopefully we can be done with snow and ice soon enough. Play along with us, will you?
This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is to use something with wings on your project to show that spring is on it's way. We don't have many signs of spring here other than some sunshine. We have tons of snow here still and we are still going down to -26 C at night. This has been the longest winter in years so it is great to have a feeling of spring inside. Play along with us, will you?
This month's challenge at A Tiny Craft is to make your ATC cards using a masculine theme. I went for dark and metallic with woodgrain paper. I don't think I get more masculine looking than that. Play along with us, will you?

Playing along with the Jingle Belles this week with their stencil challenge. This card was fun to make. I used a Simon Says Stamps stencil that is 4 layers to make this card. I am really loving the layering stencils. I am glad I got this one done...there was so much gluing lol.
This week's challenge at Shopping our Stash is called "Full Metal Jacket" - and as the name implies you are to use metallic features on your card or project. I chose to use gold foiling for the sentiment, three colours of metallic embossing powder on the main part of the card and metallic gold foil paper for the base framing. I tried to keep it clean and simple to focus on the embossing, but I am still contemplating putting a large gold heart in the middle. What do you think? Clean and simple is not my strong suit and I always like to add more, so this card feels unfinished without something in the middle to me...play along, will you?
