Here we are in the middle of the month and it's time to start a new challenge over at QKR Stampede. As usual, our theme is "Anything Goes" and you have two ways to win; if you use an image from QKR (or their sister company, Eureka Stamps), your entry is put into a separate draw from all other entries and that increases your chances of winning by a huge amount!
For my DT card today, I used a cute image called "Seeking Snowman" which I reversed before printing. Think of it as something we've all thought more than once during this ridiculously long pandemic. :-D Despite that, I'm using it as a birthday card for a gal who's looking for all those years already behind her.
I did this in my favorite winter color combo of blues. That combo always makes me think cold & icy which is perfect for a winter card.

I have a second card to share today and this image is called "

Challenges:
Once again,
I'm following the "challenge-yourself" idea being promoted by my blogging buddy, V. It's called "Just Stash January" and it involves using nothing but things already in your stash throughout the entire month of January! There are a few reasonable exceptions (all of which mean that no money has come out of your pocket) and you can read about those on her post. Just click on the link above to find out all about it, then start counting those coins and bills you'll be 'stashing' in your pocket this month instead of crying about even more charges on the credit cards after the holiday season. :-D Everything on this card came from the stash!
I hope we're going to see you playing along with us this fortnight. Remember, it's Anything Goes and you can use any image from any company. Happy Crafting. NanaConnie
