Hey, CMMs!
Still working out a few kinks here, so I apologize for the wonky posting. Preparing to move cross country at the end of the school year, having work done on your house while you're camping out in it and trying to keep to your creative schedule and hope that your kids aren't feeling neglected...
...and all the while trying to keep up the challenge blog because you love the Card Makin' Mamas community and don't want to let them down...tough stuff! Thank you for your understanding.
Look for the Washi Winners on Wednesday!
Until then, there are a few more days to link up your card using punches...we know you've got them...we would love to see you flaunt them!
Don't forget this challenge we're sponsored by the most fantastic Rick St. Dennis!
Check them out!

No Patterned Paper Inspiration
I love patterned paper. All the designs, the combinations of colors, themes, textures...all the work has been done and all we have to do is create something with it, right?!
Not this time...
This challenge is NO PATTERNED PAPER. This means if it came with a label, you probably can't use it...only plain cardstock. Now, you can dress it up any way you like...consider it an opportunity to use those stamps, inks, folders, paints, tapes, etc. and make your very own custom designer papers!
Our challenge is sponsored by My Creative Classroom - donating a seat in any class!
Look at what some of the DT came up with.
