Silly Goose

 

Today as it is the 28th and the day I am posting my cards for our Challenge Your Stash group on SCS. This is our 113th month of de-stash, so we are into our 8th year of challenges.  I cannot believe my thought about using what we have is now 9+ years old! I really like these challenges and know they will continue as I know I have many, many items in my stash that I can use and love the fun 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. 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.

Vickie posted our May challenge--May is International Respect for Chickens Month; create a card or project with a chicken as the main focus!

WELL--I grew up on a farm and I guess I do not know the difference between a chicken and a goose....................  I knew what the challenge was and also knew I wanted to use a newer Taylored Expressions stamp and die set called Silly Goose.  That should have been my first clue!  I honestly did not realize I used a goose until I started to write this blog post!  So, I hope Vickie is okay with a goose being a part of her challenge this month.................

I did pick this new Taylored Expressions set and stamped the goose with the balloon along with one of the sentiments. I colored the image with my Copic Sketch Markers and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I stamped the sentiment and used one of the matching dies. The background is some fun patterned paper from American Crafts Daydreams-Joyful Day. I added some Taylored Expressions Bits & Pieces Teal Glitter Drops around the image.  

 

If you check some of the blogs on my sidebar, you may find others who have posted their cards in the next few days. They will all probably have chickens on their card!  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 CYSMAY.  You might see many cards there if you do a search.  They probably will be posted today or in the next few days.

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 June, Darlene is up for our challenge.  Be sure to check back to see what we create then!
