Today I am going to ask you a question. What is one of the reasons we play challenges? To me one of the reasons is to take me out of my comfort zone. The challenge theme this week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is Anything but a Card!!! I sat for 2 days just thinking and thinking. What could I do that I would like and use! I thought paper flowers, decorating the front of a scrapbook, making a medallion. All doable but didn't excite me. I decided to wait until the weekend and decide. I then was looking for something in my linen closet, found some potpourri and decided it was time to replace some containers I had with old potpourri. I still had some left over an looked for another container so I could have some on my office desk. I found a tin that was the right size but not really pretty and decided to decorate it for this challenge. I like the way it came out and now I have a nice addition to my desk!!
I am especially happy that I got to use an image from our sponsor this week! Wee Stamps!!! I have been looking forward to this because I think these are just the cutest stamps! I love every one of them. If you haven't seen them I suggest you go to her website and check them out. You won't be disappointed.
Challenge yourself! Make something other than a card and play with us!!
