New Challenge @ Shopping Our Stash #SOS527


 Today begins a new challenge at...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS527 ...A "shopping your stash" challenge!!  The theme for this new challenge, that begins today, is..."Up, Up, and Away"!!  So that could be anything that is up in the sky and floating away!!  I decided to dig out Stampin Up's hot air balloon die set that has been retired but I have kept in my stash.  It is perfect for our theme!!

Now it is your turn!!  Dig through your stash and find those items that would make a great "Up, Up, and Away" card.  We look forward to seeing what you come up with.  If you need additional information for this challenge head over to our blog and check it out.   You will also find additional inspiration from the rest of the design team.

2 other challenges inspired today's card...

Splitcoast Stampers Sketch Challenge // #SC1016 ...A weekly sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for building my "Up, Up, and Away" card.  

All Sorts Challenge // #791 ...A theme challenge!!  Summer delights was the them for this challenge.  Memories of our hot air balloon ride with our kids during summer vacation is a true summer delight.  I actually did our ride in the hot air ballon capital...Albuquerque, New Mexico!!  Today's card was made with Stampin Up dies and papers.




Today's second card was inspired by 3 challenges...

CAS on Friday // #288 ...A clean and simple challenge with a theme.  The theme for this current challenge is "use circles"!  I right away knew that I wanted to use this row of circles stamp as my background.  I kept it simple and just used a small stamped chic for this clean and simple birthday card.

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge // #CI599 ...A cupcake inspired challenge!! For this current challenge they are looking for the colors purple & pink!!  I used Stampin Up's Pretty in Pink & Highland Heather.

Just Add Ink // #JAI712 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for my rows of circles!!  I love it when challenges work so perfectly together!!

    Love your hot air balloon card, the clouds just seal the deal it's up, up and away. A Woodstock resident has a hot air balloon called the Sky Turkey and it looks like one. It would be awesome to see them in Albuquerque Mexico, I've only seen pictures.

    Two super cards. Thank you for sharing your balloon card in the Allsorts Challenge this week using the Season’s Delights option. It brought back memories of a balloon flight I went on last month. Later this month my city are hosting an annual balloon festival when dozens of hot air balloons will take to the skies. xx
