Here is the latest Stashaholics Challenge:
In honor of my DH,  Brian
His birthday is March 31. He is a University of IL grad, and BLEEDS blue and orange. Did I mention that he's a Bears fan (blue and orange), and that our high school colors were blue and orange also? See a theme starting here? LOL
So...
Your challenge for March is make any item of your choosing, 100% from your stash, using blue and orange for the main colors. Blue and orange must make up at least 3/4 of the colors. Please post photos of your completed project, along with details about how you made it and what you made it with. Please complete your project by March 31st.
And I bet you thought I was going to do green for St. Patrick's Day! HA!
LOL

Hubby's bday card:
Blue cardstock for the card. Tiles are two pieces of watercolor paper that I painted with watercolors. The blue one was a graduated wash, with just one very light coat of blue on top, and adding more coats and color as I went to the bottom. The orange was done similarly, but from the center out, and then sprinkled with salt. When the pages were dry, I just cut them into squares on my Cricut and glued them on. I wish that the bottom left tiles were straighter, but that's what happens when you have too many interruptions.

Lisa, he is PERFECT! Did you use a pattern? If so which one? We have pet bunnies (Luke Skywalker and Faith), and I love making stuffed bunnies for my kids.
Also, I have a photo to post, but haven't had the chance yet. I tried to stay off the computer yesterday because of that worm thing. Birthday cards for DH - made by DD, DS and myself - all blue and orange of course because there are no other colors in his rainbow!

I made a simple kitty blankie.Colorful and very useful. The fleece is an orangish yellow.. it looks yellow on my camera. I dont get true colors of orange and purples for some odd reason. everything i used for it was "short term stash " and all are barter items i got from other people's stash ..cool :P

Cool, Ann. I'll have to search my stash for orange -- there may be lurking around -- I just don't remember any -- but I know I can scare up an orange button or so.

KTL - if you have a lot of blue but just a little orange (even if it's only a button) that will work. And if you do blue and yellow instead, well, there are no challenge police! LOL
