Challenge Title: Not always a Stamping Fool!
Hostess: DawnMercedes
Keyword: APRVSN17M
Date: April 1st, 2017 @ 8pm

I am sure we have all been through it...when our loved one, friend, mother, spouse... accuse of us of spending too much time stamping! So, let's show them that we are not always a stamping fool! For this challenge, create a card WITHOUT any stamps on it!



Ideas for sentiments: you can use a pre-printed message or alphabet stickers or die cuts of words.


Ideas for images: use flowers, washi tape, decorative brads, elaborate stickers, die cuts or dig through those mounds of embellishments you have tucked away in drawers.


The sky is the limit here...just NO STAMPS!
