February Challenge

Sue's challenge for you this month is to distress the edges of your papers!  Go ahead and give it a try!!  It adds such a wonderful look and added dimension to your projects!  There are a few distressing tools out on the market, however, in a pinch your scissors will work nicely!

We'd love to see your Sue-inspired projects!  Provide a link to your project in the comment section of this post by the end of February & you will qualify to win a prize!!  :-)

Here is Sue's layout using the gorgeous colorful papers from Scenic Route.  Amazing job, as usual, Sue!  Thank you for your inspiration!

JANUARY KIT & WORKSHOP!!

We've used Teresa Collins' beautiful Friendship line and created a wonderful interactive open-themed mini album perfect for tons of photos and hidden journalling! You will have a whole sheet of alphas to personalize this album as you wish!

Ann's album theme will be "Notes to Self"; it is a perfect time to reflect on things we need to remember to do more often such as laugh, play, give thanks.... Her album will include a collection of photos and hidden journalling of her most personal thoughts.

This mini album will be bound using the Bind-It-All machine and finished off with unique embellishments including a beautiful tassel!  You won't want to miss this, limited quantities available!

Available as a workshop or kit!!
