Today begins a new challenge at...

Shopping Our Stash // #SOS582 ...A "shop your stash" challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge is Who's Who!!  We want to see a "person" image on your card.  I used a ME & MY BIG IDEA sticker from my stash for my "person"!  This sticker has been in my stash a long time...it dates back to my scrapbooking day...over 12 years old!!

What do you have in your stash that fits our "Who's Who" theme??  We can't wait to see what you find to our new challenge.  Hop over to our blog for all the details and some great inspiration from the rest of our design team!!

2 additional challenges inspired today's card...

TicTacToe Challenges // #tttc300 ...A "game board" challenge!!  My winning three in a row on this current tic-tac-toe board: letters/numbers (embossing folder from Darice), sentiment (a hashtag sentiment from Stampin Up), and die cut/punch (circle punch from Stampin Up).

Retro Rubber Challenge // #rrcb280 ...A "retro rubber" challenge with a sketch!!  My retro rubber is from Stampin Up...a 2014 stamp out of their #Hello set.  As for the sketch I used all the shapes but moved to circle to the bottom for my sentiment.  I hope that is not to much of a diversion from the sketch.
