This week's challenge at
Shopping Our Stash is
Winter blues and we ask you to shop your stash and pull out items that are blue. You can have other colors, just be sure to use any shade of BLUE as the primary focus.
I went into my remnant box and pulled out a bunch of blue card stock to make this:
I was inspired by a card I saw while blurfing (can't find it now) for the layout. I cut 5 strips of different blues 1" each and lined them up. Then I punched 1" circles out of the same colors and lined them up below. At the last minute I decided I needed to stamp on the strips so they weren't so boring. The stamp is from a Hero Arts set sent to me by Stef of
IngeniousInkling and
JingleBelles fame. (Thanks, Stef!)
Then
while I was typing this post I got the notion I should add bling, so I ended up with this:
I like it better now. :)
Now it's your turn! Go into your stash and pull out a bunch of BLUE stuff, make something with it, then come over to
Shopping Our Stash and link us up so we can see what you've made!
Thanks for stopping by!
