Smash Our Stash: May 2022 Ephemera
May’s Smash Our Stash theme was embellishments, die cuts, ephemera, or stickers. I focused on ephemera and made ten Birthday/Celebration and Thank You cards with a minimum of stamping. I’m really enjoying ephemera for card making right now. I’m on the verge of moving to a new house and the vast majority of my craftingContinueContinue reading “Smash Our Stash: May 2022 Ephemera”
March Smash Our Stash: Unfinished Projects
This month’s theme was unfinished projects and I had a doozy. I make photo albums or folios for my nieces and nephews. I started on for my niece after she was born at the end of 2020, but I didn’t finish. The base was done, but I had a few things I wanted to addContinueContinue reading “March Smash Our Stash: Unfinished Projects”

Most of the cards wereContinueContinue reading “Smash Our Stash: November is Choose Your Own Adventure!”
Halloween Is Done
How it started How it’s going. I ended up using a little bit of everything I brought out rather than using up all of one or two supplies. I get distracted by all the stash I want to smash because it’s all so much fun to use! Not all the cards are a huge success,ContinueContinue reading “Halloween Is Done”
Halloween. Finally.
I am not the kind of crafter who starts their Halloween projects in August and September so that by October, they’ve moved on to Thanksgiving and the holidays. I am the kind of crafter who has to wait for the mood to strike and that mood usually strikes when everyone else has moved on. IContinueContinue reading “Halloween. Finally.”
October Smash Our Stash: Buttons!
This month’s theme was very fortuitous for me. I only have a small number of buttons and they’re part of an Autumn-themed 28Lilac Lane embellishment kit. 1. I love making Autumn cards and 2. It was a wonderful way to use what was already on hand and use the September Pink & Main card kit.ContinueContinue reading “October Smash Our Stash: Buttons!”
