SOS Challenge 111: I don't really need another one or..TRUE CONFESSIONS FROM THE TEAM!!

Hello everyone!  Today at Shopping Our Stash we have another challenge designed to get you thinking about what exactly is in your stash!  Do you tend to by every butterfly or owl stamp you can, or maybe all the paper pads from a particular line?  Or how about another roll of washi tape to go with the HUNDREDS you already have?  Whatever your weakness is, use it on your creation and tell us what it is!

Here is what the Shopping Our Stash Crew has created along with a little narrartive of our own personal weaknesses!

Carla

Using a mouse image....I always seem to find a reason to buy more mousey stamps!

Jessi

So I debated...and then really, had to use buttons. There are 62 sewn onto this card.  

Leslie

Guess what: WASHI TAPE! And it almost didn't happen. (see her blog for the REST of the story!  (and if you know who is famous for saying that line,  the first one who emails me at scrappypug @ gmail.com  will  get a little sumthing sumthing for reading! ) we have a winner!

Alica

I was thinking what to use and then it hit me. Card kits from swaps - I still have kits dating several years back and I really don't NEED more - but guess what... (see her blog to find out what she is revealing about herself..)

Lauren

I also went with tape... it's kind of a sickness... but then how can you *NOT* love translucent, self-adhesive patterns that come in convenient rolls AND hold other stuff on your cards? ♥♥♥

Deena

My three vices lately are washi tape, copic markers and stamps...and voila...they make a card!

Michelle

My Minds Eye paper....thats what I do.....n't need more of.  Until I see anew one in the craft store.....then it somehow makes it in my cart and all the way to my craft room.....*sigh*  I can't help myself.   

So now you know the inside story on us....now tell us yours and link your project below!

Shopping Our Stash Challenge 110: Strangest/Weirdest Craft Supply Purchase

Hello!  Today here at Shopping Our Stash we are asking you to perhaps put aside your pride, or at least 'fess up about the strangest or weirdest purchase you have made for the purposes of creating something!  You know how sometimes you are out shopping, and you spy something that you think will be perfect for a particular project, or to try this technique, or to CAS some other style?  Maybe you bought a ton of a particular embellishment, or a pack of something you thought was cute, but then later you are wondering why you did it- now is the time to use it for our new Challenge!

Be sure to stop by our DT member blogs and read the inside scoop on some of our weirdest purchases!

And also we would like to introduce our newest member of the SOS Crew: Chana aka Redore Lee!  Be sure to check out her fabby blog too!  We are thrilled to have you with us!
