This week at Shopping our Stash, we're celebrating the start of school with a return to ABCs - we want you to use something that starts with each of those letters! Here are some ideas:
A: ant, anchor, arrow, apple, arithmetic, animal
B: bee, button, bow, bonnet, ball, brad
C: candy, carrot, car, corn, curtain, cow, comet, chipboard, chalkboard
B: bee, button, bow, bonnet, ball, brad
C: candy, carrot, car, corn, curtain, cow, comet, chipboard, chalkboard
Of course you aren't limited to those ideas, but you DO have to tell us what you've used!
I had a particular stamp set in mind that I wanted to use, but do you think I could find it? NOPE. So then I was stuck. Finally I went ahead to work on something else, and found this paper pad, and it all came together. *whew*
Supplies: Papers from Simple Stories; Buttons from Basic Grey; sentiment from Paper Smooches; Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Simple and straightforward! I let the paper do the heavy lifting. I've gone with
A- apples, alphabet
B- buttons, black
C - chalkboard
Check out the design team creations & join us before next Monday, September 1st!

Now that you've made this card, you know you'll find the missing stamp set.

Perfect and so cute! That's a great idea for a challenge too....and it'd really be a challenge for me. Love your card.

You made this challenge much too easy with those great papers! LOL I love the alpha paper - I used to love to practice writing when I was in school!
What a great card, Jessi!

LOVE this one, Jessi. It's unmistakably school-like. Sorry I'm late commenting ... I've missed so many of your wonderful makes. You take care, friend!
hugs, Asha
I bet you found that stamp set you originally wanted to use, after completing this awesome card! LOL!
I love the challenge premise, and the card you ended up with! Have you found the hooky-playing stamps yet? (Keeping with the school theme...) I found a die cut square today I lost last week...
Your ABC card is adorable! Reminds me of my teaching days... :-} Is August/September hard for any other retired teachers?
Eeeep! This is SO. SERIOUSLY. CUTE. Givin' me inspiration for an upcoming challenge I need to create for, too. Thank you, ma'am!
Smarty pants! Using the alphabet for your ABCs..why didn't I think of that??? I couldn't think of an A for the longest time so I went back and added an arrow lol
Wow what a great card, you ABCs are super creative. I was guessing before I read and I thought Calligraphy so you really had two ideas for each. WOW
Love this school themed card!
Well you pulled it together nicely!! Love the mix of pattern paper!! Love it!!
