Squirrelz Stash Bash 2024 – Old
Welcome back to another gathering of everyone’s favorite crafty squirrels! (There’s a sentence you never thought you’d hear, right?) We are digging through our stash of supplies we’ve squirreled away and challenging ourselves to use something old… well, at least 2 years old. Now, to be honest, most of my stash is wwwwwaaaaayyyyy older than […]

Yikes! Its been awhile since I had reason to pop in here but I’m happy to announce that my Squirrel Sisters and I are continuing our hops to encourage us to use all those supplies we have squirreled away! This year we are trying to make it easier on ourselves with prompts that aren’t too […]

Welcome back, my crafty friends! The Squirrel Squad is back at it again, bringing you another mini hop that will inspire you to bash your stash of supplies!!!

January 2023 Squirrelz Stash Bash
Welcome back to another installment of Squirrelz Stash Bash. And not just any installment, but the first of 2023!!! We’re all getting a little bit busier these days, so to make things more doable we’re making a teeny tiny change. If you came here from my sweet friend Anna’s amazing blog, I’m so glad to […]
November 2022 Squirrelz Stash Bash
Welcome back my stash bashing friends! I’m happy to be hopping with the Squirrel Squad again, using those supplies we’ve “squirreled away”! Per the usual, we have a monthly theme and for November its Leaves! To level it up, we also give ourselves an additional guideline which is either a specific supply or a technique. […]
August 2022 Squirrelz Stash Bash
Say what?!? We’re back??? Heck ya!!! Whoo-hoo! Y’all, life got crazy for most of the Squirrel Squad, so we opted to take a few months off from posting, but we were excitedly discussing the possibilities for when we reconvened and I’m happy to announce that we are hopping today! To remind you, we have monthly […]
Squirrelz Stash Bash – March Hop
Welcome back to everyone’s favorite time of the month, the Squirrelz Stash Bash hop where we break out those supplies we’ve had squirreled away forever and use them to create a project for the monthly theme. March is Spring in the northern hemisphere, so Spring was chosen as this month’s theme, to be interpreted as […]
Squirrels Gone Nutz November Hop
Welcome back to the monthly shindig of the Squirrel Squad! For those new here, my little group (just 6 of us) create projects using items in our stash that we have squirreled away and not used, or at least not in a long while. Each month we have a prompt that includes a theme and […]
Squirrels Gone Nutz September Hop!
I’m not gonna lie… the last month was a blur, and its probably better that way cause not one bit of it was good. But, I’m here hoping this hop changes my luck the way it always changes my mood for the better! The creative time sure did me some good! We’re back at it […]
June DT Post for 2CCC with Beccy’s Place
Hello, my sweet friends! I hope the weather has been as beautiful in your part of the world as it has been in mine!!! I’ve been enjoying the sunshine and doing quite a bit of gardening, tending to the veggies and flowers. Gardening settles my nerves, gets me back in touch with nature, and renews […]
Squirrels Gone Nutz May Hop!!!
The year is just whooshing by, because its yet again time for another Squirrels Gone Nuts hop when we make a point to use items we’ve *squirreled away* while creating something for the monthly theme! The prompt for this month is Birthdays and the supply (randomly selected from a loooooong list of possible supplies by […]
April Hop with Squirrel Gone Nutz
Oh yeah! I don’t know if you look forward to this day as much as I do, but with my crafty time being much more limited these days, our little but mighty hop has become a bright star on a bleak horizon for me. With all of my other crafty obligations requiring me to use […]
Mid Month Inspiration with JDS
Today’s card for the JDS mid-challenge inspiration post was super easy to create using a precolored image and sentiment from Jan’s Digi Stamps, from her set called Floral Flourish. To keep the focus on the image, I printed it large and included the sentiment on the same panel. I didn’t want the background to distract […]
April DT Post for Jan’s Digi Stamps Challenge
Spring isn’t the only thing in the air!!! Today I am sharing a card I used with a set from Jan’s Digi Stamps called Up, UP, AWAY! Now, ***in full disclosure***, the dog I used is NOT part of the set. He’s from a Mama Elephant clear stamp set called Mini Dog Agenda. Here is […]
December DT Post for 2CCC
Welcome back everyone! We’re doing things a little different this month at 2 Crafty Critter Crazies for our December challenge post. There is no sponsor this month, so the DT could use anything from their stash this month to make their critter projects! Now if you follow me here, you know I’m a huge fan […]
Collected Crafty Collabs November Hop!
The Collected Crafty Collabs hop group is at it again, using those supplies we’ve squirrel away and forgotten about!!! The prompt this month is Christmas cards, which is easy enough… but using any texture paste, glitter paste, dimensional glaze, or mousse. Once the mojo started flowing, I had all sorts of ideas for some of […]
Boo Crew Hop-lloween
A little group of my friends and I decided to have a mini hop for Halloween card, a Hop-lloween, if you will. Now, before you roll your eyes at the mention of another hop, this one is only 6 hops, not a gajillion!!! And by now, you should be following these talented ladies anyway 😁 […]
Create and Inkspire July Kit – Take 3
Do you save card elements you created for another card and then decided not to use? I sure do! Nothing gets thrown away around here unless I have exhausted all of its possible uses. Today’s background was one of several stenciled backgrounds I created a year ago for a CAS card design. It spoke to […]
Create and Inkspire July Kit – Take 1
I’ve had this kit for almost 2 weeks and because life gets in the way, I’m just now playing with it. And man, oh man… I have 10 cards in my head that I can’t wait to get onto paper!!! I posted about this kit earlier with a full description of what comes in it, […]
Summer Lovin’ IG Hop!
I wanted to pop in here today to share that I’m part of a fun hop over on Instagram with a bunch of friends from the Facebook group Handmade Happiness. Oh, and did I mention that you could win prizes like a $25 gift card from Simon Says Stamp??? This hop was organized by my […]
