Stampin' Up! Happy Hour and Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
It's the first Thursday of the month and that means it's the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge! This week the colors are Real Red, Marina Mist, and Summer Starfruit. Now there's a combination for you. I had an idea of what I wanted to create. I completed about three quarters of the card, and then it went into the circular file! Did you ever start in one direction and by the time you got were you were headed, you realized it wasn't where you wanted to be? Thank goodness it's only paper!
