Today is the day I post a project for our Challenge Your Stash group on SCS. This is our 32nd month of de-stashing-we are well into our 3rd year into our challenges.
The premise is to create a card or something else that uses only items that are in your own stamp room--nothing new is to be purchased. The hostess each month posts their challenge to the group and the card is due to be posted on the 28th. Each person in the group creates their card with their own image, their own papers, their own embellishments with their own supplies--using up items from their own stash! The card can be for any occasion and each person is encouraged to send the card on its way to someone so it can be admired. It is a way for us to step out of the box a bit and create something that follows a challenge--isn't that what a challenge is supposed to be. And--no money is spent as all items are to be already available in each of own stamping spaces.
Suzy posted our September challenge--We have Choices--Get Well, Hope you are feeling better, Thinking of You, Hope recovery is going well. Pick one of these!
I went with a masculine themed card by using some wood patterned paper along with a sweet sentiment to use to perk someone up!
Here is the inside of my card:
If you check some of the blogs on my sidebar, you may find others who have posted their cards today or in the next few days. There may be more posted in the thread on SCS, so you might want to check out the link here. We also have a keyword for the SCS Gallery--it is CYSSEP. You might see many cards there is you do a search.
I hope you enjoyed my card and I know I am excited to check out what my other hoarders, I mean stash reducers have made! Thanks for stopping by today! For October, Vickie is up and we already know our fun theme. Be sure to check back to see what we create!

I spy with my little eye MFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥ Love this card! The background paper is super and a great choice for a masculine card (would go great with Denise's Cowgirl Up, too! Sweet pop of orange really ties this nicely together.
ReplyDeleteSo loving the sentiment, and it is a great masculine card- which are always just a bit challenging! Loving the colors and the great DP too. Love the touch of twine and the pop of color you added too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to showcase that sentiment on a stunning masculine way Barb - love the twine you have used behind the feature panel
