New Challenge @ Shopping Our Stash #SOS497

 


Today begins a new challenge at...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS497 ...A "use from your stash" challenge!!  The theme for this challenge is "You're So Sweet"!  Lemons are not usually thought of as being sweet but when you make lemonade...SWEET it is!!  Yes, I was thinking a little outside the box...ice cream, cupcakes, or candy might be what first comes to your mind but today, LEMONADE it is!!  Because it is what I had in my stash, and it's summer...everyone needs a cold, sweet glass of lemonade on a hot, sunny day!!  What do you have in your stash that would fit our "You're So Sweet" challenge??  Dig around and join the fun!!  The rest of our design team has great inspiration for you...so hop on over to our blog and play along.

You're So Sweet // #SOS497

4 other challenges inspired today's card...

Try Stampin On Tuesday // #TSOT607 ...A sketch challenge!!  They also gave us an optional twist...Flower Power!!  That is why I added the citrus blossoms.  While this sketch was my starting point for today's card I took some liberties...using the jar of lemonade and a lemon on each side of it for my trio of circles called for in the sketch.


Hand Stamped Sentiments // #HSS414 ...An inspiration challenge!!  These photos of sweet summer beverages got me mixing up a batch of blueberry lemonade.

Addicted to Stamps & More // #446 ...A "make your mark" challenge!!  I made my mark stamping yellow on yellow, and using an aqua painter & ink pads to ink up my blossoms.

Inspired By Challenge // #IB238 ...An inspiration challenge!!  YELLOW was my inspiration from this challenge photo, that and the white blossoms.  Weather that calls for flip-flops, calls for a tall glass of sweet lemonade...a splash of blueberry just makes it extra special!!

Sweet Birthday Wishes

 


2 challenges inspired today's card...

Global Design Project // #GDP394 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch called for a trio of items along with a slimline card.  I had these 3 ice cream treats left in my stash just waiting to be used.  This challenge was perfect for them.  Much prettier in real-life because you can see the layers and the glitter much better!

Just Add Ink // #JAI653 ...A pick two challenge!!  Of the three elements give we are asked to pick two.  I picked pastels and banner.  I cut my ribbon as banners but then they were two long so I folded them in half.  I hope that is a-okay with the design team.
