Today begins a new challenge at...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS521 ...A "shop your stash" challenge with a given theme!!  The theme for this challenge is "Water, Water Everywhere"!!  We are looking for cards that feature a large body of water (like a lake, the ocean, or a river).  For my card I created a lake of water for these hippos to frolic in!!

We can't wait to see what you create for this challenge!!  Our design team has give you some great inspiration, so, hop on over to our blog and check out their cards along with all the challenge details.

2 other challenges inspired today's card...

The Paper Players // #PP688 ...A theme challenge!!  ANIMAL ANTICS is the theme for their current challenge!!  These silly little hippos fit perfectly for their "animal antics" theme.

Colorful Options // MAY2024 ...A monthly color challenge!!  ROYAL BLUE is the color for the month of May.  I used some royal blue water printed designer paper for my card.




Card #2 was inspired by 4 challenges...

Jingle Belles // #JB2409 ...A year round Christmas challenge!!  The theme for this current challenge is SANTA.  I used some Santa designer paper along with a Santa's Travels stamp that I won from the Belles!!  Thanks to the Belles for the prize and the continued inspiration.

INKspirational Challenges // #IC315 ...A theme challenge!!  SEASONAL is the theme for this challenge.  So, I am going WINTER as my season and the seasonal holiday of CHRISTMAS!!  

Addicted to Stamps & More // #ATS&M467 ...A "Christmas" challenge!!  I love that ATS&M has a Christmas slot in their rotations of challenges, it keeps us on task throughout the year so that we aren't overwhelmed when December gets here.

Stick It Down Challenge // MAY2024 ...A monthly sketch challenge found on FaceBook!!  I love the torn edge called for in this sketch...I have always been a fan of the look this technique give a card.
