SHOPPING OUR STASH #334 Gah!! PINK!! - A Tribute to Leslie


Hello crafty friends and welcome!
Our new challenge at 
starts today, and we are paying tribute to our
dear friend, Leslie Hanna. I'm sure most of you
are aware that she passed away suddenly two years ago
on Christmas day. If you knew Leslie, she hated the color pink.
On those rare occasions that she used it on her cards, she
always referred to it as 'Gah! PINK!'
So in honor of Leslie,
the SOS Crew challenge you to make a card or project
using Gah! PINK! predominately.

Here's my card:


and the inside:

I had some fun using my Magenta Nuance powder dyes again.
Once the colors were completely dried, I traced a stencil design
over it using a white Gelly Roll pen. The Christmas tree admittedly
is new, but everything else is at least a year old or more.

I had so much fun with this card that I made another one!


I hope that you find some time to create something using
Gah! PINK! to help us celebrate Leslie. We'd love to see 
what you made, so be sure to link up at Shopping Our Stash!
Also, this is the last challenge of the year so it will
be open until Monday, January 1, 2018.
The SOS CREW will be taking the rest of the year off
to spend time with family and friends.

Thank you for visiting.
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and a
healthy and happy New Year!
Hugs!
