Shopping Our Stash Challenge 37: People Who Need People

This week at Shopping Our Stash we are asking you to use your "people" images!  As long as it is human, it will work: kids, vintage pics, adults, teens, groups, singles, babies!

And our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps!  One lucky randomly selected participant will win her choice of 7 Digi stamps!




Everything That You Ever Wanted to Know About Bugaboo Stamps: A Short Essay

As if raising five children in the frozen land of the North was not enough of a challenge, Jodie Mackrell decided to dip her cold little Canadian toes into the world of papercrafting by opening an online store full of her illustrations. That was two years ago. Today Bugaboo Stamps is one of the leading companies in digital images, and we're still growing!  From seriously snarky to sugary sweet to sublimely soulful all the way over to the other side of the super sexy spectrum, you're bound to find all that you need and more to create your paper projects.  Jodie works very hard to provide New Releases and Freebies every week! 
 If your taste runs to rubber (and you know who you are), you can find Bugaboo Stamps   at Totally Stampalicious. And finally, join the Bugaboo Stamps DT   for weekly challenges atCatch the Bug. 

And joining us today are two super talented members of the Bugaboo DT!

And our own SOS Crew has created these for your inspiration!

Shopping Our Stash Challenge 36: Winter Blues

Hello everyone!  We are knee-deep in winter in some areas this time of year, and with colder temps and less sunshine comes Winter Blues!  But don't let our challenge title limit you to a winter theme!  As long as your project is Primarily BLUE (any shades are fine) it works!

I seem to not use a lot of blues when crafting, but I really enjoyed doing something off my normal routine- and I used up some blue stash!

So, dig thru your stash and create something that is mainly Blue!

The SOS Crew came up with these blue projects for your inspiration:

Paige




Alica
