I'm not going to chatter too much because I want to be making cards. I decided not to play along with any official celebration. I am simply going to walk through challenges and do the ones that I want to do - with absolutely no other requirements on myself - no design team, no NBUS, just fun!!!
The first is the current Merry Monday Challenge: Stripes, Polka Dots or both.
I have a lot to choose from but I decided to go with the original Clearly Besotted set. They have a new release going live tomorrow that I am loving - so while I'm waiting for that I am pulling out the first set ever!
- Stamps: Clearly Besotted Stamps Signature Christmas and Signature Christmas Additions
- Paper: Kaisercraft Mistletoe, Papertrey Ink Ocean Tides
- Ink: Papertrey Ink Limeade Ice, Ocean Tides, Simon Says Schoolhouse Red, Versamark
- Accessories: Clearly Besotted Stamps Signature Christmas dies, Martha Stewart Fine Crystal Glitter, Stampin' Up Heat 'n Stick Powder, Hemptique 10-lb white twine, misc sequins.
