The challenge for 7PM on Saturday was to Go Get Fancy. In this challenge you were to make your fanciest card. When I think of fancy I think of elegant organdy ribbon, rhinestones, lace, and flowers. I used all of these on my card. There was a bonus to use french on your card if you could. I used the french script background and small alphabet to write Thanks My Friend in french also. The…
I’m back with more VSN cards. I hope some of you are interested in doing some of these challenges next month.

The only issue I have…

I had a flocking challenge, scratch ‘n sniff challenge, and a book binding challenge. I went with the flocking challenge next.
