Hello, and happy Tuesday! This week's challenge is All About Numbers. That's right, we want you to use numbers on your project. Check out your stash and look for any miscellaneous number stickers, or number stamps, or number themed paper, or number dies, or metal numbers ... anything with a number will work!

Here's how our DT gals have interpreted the theme:

SOS #98 - Dollar or Bargain Bin Find

Happy Tuesday, and welcome to another edition of Shopping Our Stash. This week we have one of my favorite challenges so far: Dollar or Bargain Bin Find. Yeah, you know you've got 'em. We'd like you to grab some of those dollar (or dollar fifty if you are in Canada) stamps or embellishments and use them! If you've been stronger than most crafters and you have NOTHING from the bargain bin, then you can use something you scored at the Dollar Store OR as a last resort you can use something you got at a ridiculously low price.

Whatever you decide to use, please tell us in your post so we can be impressed.

Here's what the DT gals have put together to inspire you this week:

Please remember when you link up to limit the number of challenges to 13, including ours. Now go forth and use up some of that bargain stuff! We hope you'll play along!

SOS #97 - Text or Letters

Happy Tuesday! Thanks for hanging in with us while we took care of LIFE stuff over the last few weeks. We hope you're you ready for another challenge to inspire you to use some of your stash! This week our theme is Text or Letters. Some ideas are script-themed images, text-themed papers or images, or you could stamp a bunch of letters for a border, or use ABC's, or use a page of an old book or dictionary, etc. You get the idea!

Please note: Even though a sentiment contains text and words, simply using a sentiment on your card will not qualify for this challenge. We are all about using stash!

Here are some projects by our DT to inspire your creative juices:

Lauren
Jessi
Leslie
Carla
Michelle

Okay - Ready, Set, GO! We hope you'll play along! Please link up below and make sure to limit your number of challenges to 13, including ours.

Welcome to the second week of our Not Your Normal Paper challenge. We'd like you to go into your stash and find that hoarded specialty paper - something you had to have. Some examples are glitter paper, honeycomb paper, corrugated paper (or crimp your own), canvas, cork, etc.; or use book pages, newspapers, wrapping paper ... you get the idea.

This is week 2 of the challenge, and it runs through Monday, April 15th.

Here are a few more cards by our DT to inspire you:
