sos150: photo inspiration!

don't you just ♥LOVE♥ photo inspiration challenges? well, if not, let's pretend you do, ok? otherwise this post is going to have serious trouble getting off the ground! because, as you've no doubt guessed by now, this week's challenge at shopping our stash is to create a card or project inspired by this photo:


you may have noticed that when i'm slightly stumped i become incredibly literal. in this case, i don't have tons of buttons or the desire to make a clock, but i do have several sizes of circle punches and some white vinyl thickers. so i did this:

(patterned paper: creative imaginations + scraps of dcwv, love elsie, october afternoon, my mind's eye, ki memories, sei, authentique,
junkitz, making memories and... ok, i think that's about it! white vinyl thickers: american crafts; white glossy cardstock: paper accents;
circle punches: ek success, marvy; adhesives: staples brand gluetape runner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine) 

apart from the fact that i really like how this looks, it used up a whole bunch of tiny blue and orange scraps AND it resulted in a totally flat, cheap-to-mail guy card! dontcha just loooooooooove it when that happens?!

check out all the gorgeous projects at shopping our stash and start planning what ♥YOU♥ will make this week!

  9. shut UP that's all scraps? And here I was looking at it thinking HEY, that's awesome patterned paper. Scraps is just even cooler. (Mulls over the idea, has eleventy billion scraps to make it happen...) I love the stitching!
