When I tallied together my last shopping sprees I was stunned, I hadn’t realized that I had shopped that much! So well something had to be done, so I now have a shopping blockade. This shopping blockade comes with a set of rules and a counter.

I’m doing a 50 project challenge, I have to do 50 projects before shopping. A card counts as a project only if it comes with a video (as that takes enough time), a series of cards/tags can count as a project if they are four or more. All rest of things counts as project on their own.

I have 3 exceptions to the no buying rule:

1. The subscriptions I already have is allowed to carry on(Silhoutte Store, The World of Cross Stitching Magazine and Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card Kit).
2. If I run out of Adhesives, Cardboard or basic Cardstock(black, craft and white) I’m allowed to restock those items.
3. I have put away money to buy a 72 pen set of copics which is planned for October, if I haven’t finished the challenge by then I’m allowed to order that and that alone.

I hope that you will help me keep strong and not buy anything. If you want to follow my progress and look at the projects I do, every post I do for this challenge will be tagged “Shopping Blockade”.

Now when that is over with, lets start with the first project. This is a card, but I made a Color Me Happy video while creating it so it does count.

Materials:
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Copics: B000, BG02, BG07, RV21, RV23, R43, YG00, Y04, Y08
Stamps: Hero Art, Everything Flower; Simon Says Stamp, Inside and out sayings,
Cardstock Neenah Solar White, Neenah Desert Storm

The inspiration for this weeks Make A Card video comes from The Greeting Farms Challenge blog. Their Garden Variety challenge this week is a sketch and I really enjoyed creating this card from it.

Another Sunday is here and I have another card and video for you, this time it is inspired by another Farm Fresh Friday Challenge over at The Greeting Farm blog, “make it bright and bold”. For me making things bright and bold is way out there in the not so comfortable zone, but I been playing with the Papermania Birdsong papers so I’ve used the bright orange together with some of the bold patterns. The Greeting farm stamp I colored with my copics comes from the “Miss Anya Dressy” collection. If you want to win this card just hop on over to my youtube channel and comment on the video and you will be in the drawing to win it.

So it’s the 4th birthday of the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog, a gosh are they celebrating. And also the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit for April 2013 where laying in my mailbox when I got home, and all the inspiration I have been lacking just came rushing back (another reason for no posts is that I been on a 3 week vacation), but I’m back.

The products used is the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit for April 2013 and it’s included stampset Happy Every Day, the Hexagon Border Die and also a little package die that came with the Christmas Card Kit. Hope you like it.
