I bet you are wondering what a bath poof has to do with stamping. Well you would not believe the idea I had. About a month ago I got an extra bath poof (not sure that is the name but it is the net thingy you can get to wash your body) and it hit me out of the blue that it might make a great background.

On the http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/ blog they had a stitching challenge. You were to use stitching on your card.

There is a September challenge on Verve’s website where you create a card and have to use Kraft cardstock as part of your card. In one of my orders from Julee she had used this pretty tissue paper to wrap my stamps in. I thought it would be fun to use the tissue paper on the card.
