Isn't it fun to see what can be done with not so cute papers? Sometimes you just have to look at them in a different way!

Oh my goodness, I love this challenge! And imagine my surprise (and delight) when I saw your hideous paper and realized I have the SAME paper!! When I got that paper pack my first thought was, "ugh, what would I ever do with that pattern??" Now you've inspired me to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteLove the challenge, but so sorry that I forgot about this one till now and now I am too late - I'll try harder next week - lol! x
