Welcome to the month of LOVE! This is where you pose your challenges. You can challenge us to use a particular colour or product, technique or colour. You can challenge us to create a specific project (like a valentine card  ), use a specific shape or size of background or specific number of photos or other elements. If you have a huge stash of something, feel free to challenge yourself to use some of that supply on every project. You can assign bonus points for combining elements in your challenge. Please read the challenges that are already in the thread before you post yours to reduce duplications. Please number your challenges consecutively from the last challenge that appears in the thread. If the numbers get mixed up, that's okay. I can go in and edit them. But it makes if flow better if we try to keep them numbered in order. This thread will be open until end of day (for me) Sunday, February 3rd. |

Challenge 29: Pre Done Madness We all have them, the already done stickers, title pieces, words, that cool whatchamacallit that was too cute to leave in the store that you had to have just in case. (can you tell I have been going through my embellishment/sticker drawers lately?) Think old school Jolees, theme specific things (sport balls, puppy things, dinosaurs, clusters of flowers, critters, guitars, etc). I hope this makes sense! I want to see you use ALREADY DONE STICKERS. Just slap them on and DONE! No altering, no inking, just from package to paper.
