Wow! Melissa, you've been busy! I love your cards and your experimentation pieces. Thank you for sharing all of them. It's good that you used the challenge tags to share everything so they'll all be together when people are looking for information about the techniques you used. Good idea.
Jan, thank you for that link and info about the Fresh Wave. I also have a problem with a pine scent, but I might try it anyway. Your mentioning this reminded me of the one spray I can use to eliminate odors--OdorCide. My daughter brought that one home, and I was upset at first. I told her I couldnt stand those sprays. BUT, this one has a sharp citrus scent when sprayed, and a second later that scent is gone along with the odors. I wonder if I could spray some onto some paper toweling and put it in a box with a smelly shaving cream card. When I tried to get rid of the smell years ago, I put the pieces by an open window. When that didn't work, I put them between the window and screen, shut the window, and left the pieces there for days. When that didn't work, I put them outside. When that didn't work, I put them away. Once in a long while, I would give them the sniff test, and they still smelled. I forgot about them. Then one day, a year or two later, they were fine. lol. I think I like your option much better.
Good luck in the fragrance free section of the beauty supply store. I tried to find a mousse for my hair that was fragrance free at one of ours, and they just didn't have anything. Also, when it come to shaving cream, I think I did find one free of fragrances for sensitive skin, but the smell of the shaving cream itself was still pretty bad.
Maybe the crafting industry should come up with a foam spray for us that doesn't smell at all. I'd buy it.

ETA: I wonder if that stuff would work with grunge board? That's something else that has an odor I can't stand.
