The challenge is to show off any skills you might have learned from a fellow stamper, and perhaps even give them a little shout out to thank them for the inspiration they have provided. Create a project using one of your favorite learned skills and perhaps after a little blog hopping, we will ALL learn some new tips and tricks and continue to pass on the love of this hobby!
The best thing I've learned is to rely on sketches to get the creativity going. Often times it gets changed so much it no longer matches but the jumping off point is important. I like Mish's recent idea of hanging up some of your favorites cards and CASing yourself! Though I'd rather CASe Mish!!!
I'm using a sketch from Mojo Monday for this card.
I am loving the new Framed stamp set. I keep finding more sentiments that fit. I ultimately used the sentiment from Fillable Frames #7 but sentiments from 2009 Autumn Tags work as well.
Happy Hopping Everyone! ~ Rhonda
