Trendy Tuesday: The Cold Shoulder

One of my favorite Summer trends in the cold shoulder!  I love this look to show off some skin and still hide my upper arms!  So, today I am sharing six different looks you can purchase HERE.    The first look above, also has the all white look, which is also a big Summer trend!
Maybe, you want to show off the leg and the shoulder?  Try this look below with a lacy skirt!  I also love the prices on this look!  The blouse is below $45.00 and the skirt is below$60.00!

Need a cold shoulder look for casual day?  Try these looks below.  I live the varigated and black look for running around town and the jean short look for a those hot days in August!

Another cold shoulder look, to hide the pear figure hips.  I love this look for a hot August day too!

FCCB Change :Replenish Card Stash

 Happy Monday and welcome to another Monday challenge!

Challenge #213 Card Stash

This Weeks Sponsor

Classic Dad Stamp Set

~This Weeks Challenge~

Card Stash

Create a project to replenish your stash: Baby, Thank You, Birthday, etc.

To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

I am in love with this weeks challenge of replenishing my card stash.  I love the idea of cutting a 12 x12 piece of paper and using over 99% of it in cards!  I started with a template idea from Rainy Day Creations.  She actually made a box with her template.  So, I switched the box pieces for card fronts and here is how my file looks in CRC using shapes from  George Basic Shapes and Wild Card (the triangles).   I cut the chevron patterned paper that was double sided with a graph paper pattern and matted it with a pink 12 x 12 and a some cream paper scraps.  So, I now have 8 card fronts from two pieces of paper and one piece of scrap paper.  Now when I need a thank you, birthday, sympathy or other card, I will have them cut and ready to stamp!
