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!
HA! An alphabet for an ABC challenge. LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteNow that you've made this card, you know you'll find the missing stamp set.

I bet you found that stamp set you originally wanted to use, after completing this awesome card! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI 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...
ReplyDeleteYour ABC card is adorable! Reminds me of my teaching days... :-} Is August/September hard for any other retired teachers?
ReplyDeleteEeeep! This is SO. SERIOUSLY. CUTE. Givin' me inspiration for an upcoming challenge I need to create for, too. Thank you, ma'am!
ReplyDeleteSmarty 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
ReplyDeleteWow 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
ReplyDeleteLove this school themed card!
ReplyDeleteWell you pulled it together nicely!! Love the mix of pattern paper!! Love it!!
