There are still a few days to play with our current challenge: You say it's your birthday!

See you over there!

Shopping Our Stash #338: You say it's your BIRTHDAY!

Hello, stash-shoppers!

This week we've got a fun (and practical) theme for you: Birthday! 

Birthdays are always fun, but we cardmakers and crafters take special pride in giving a hand-made card... so let's get caught up for the year!

Here is some inspiration from the SOS design team:

Cyndi

Maria

Chris

Donna

Mimi

Lauren

Barbara

Deena

So go on and sing a little birthday song while you gather you're stashed items (you know: the neglected cupcake stamps... the hoarded balloon stickers... the cake paper you had to have...), then make something pretty and share it below!   This challenge will remain open until Monday, January 29th, at 11:55pm, EST.

Saturday Shoutout

Hello, Stash-shoppers! 

Here we are: another Saturday... hopefully a day of crafting and chilling! 

Thank you for playing with us in our last challenge: Out with the old, In with the new!  We had lots of excellent entries... and I have to be honest: we all voted on different projects! Seriously!  So I take that as a sign that you guys are on a roll!  Yay, you! 

Because we narrow down to three, these are our top three, randomly selected fabulous cards:

Helen

Carol

Cindy

Congratulations, and feel free to grab the badge from the sidebar!

And do yourselves a favor: go and check out ALL of the submissions for that challenge-- you'll find all kinds of Saturday inspiration!

Then, once you are inspired, come play along with our current challenge: Getting Sentimental!  It's open until Monday night at midnight, EST.

Cheers!

Good afternoon, crafters!

What a special Gah!  PINK!!! challenge we had honoring Leslie Hanna, a beloved SOS member who sadly and suddenly passed away a couple years ago.  She was *not* fond of pink but had an excellent sense of humor...

We had many pink-a-licious creations, but at last we settled on three faves, in order of entry:

Viv

Lee Ann

Marianne
