Really? You already have an idea? Wow! I'm clueless! I can't think of anything.

sara henton · 4 Weeks Ago

I do but it's going to take a lot of work so I think I might have to start on it tonight

sara henton · 4 Weeks Ago

ANNNNDDD... I'm definitely going to have to use my Perfect Panels

Stampin'NPA · 4 Weeks Ago

Wow! Well have fun! I'm totally stumped. And I know why! I'm not an elegant stamper!!! This is going to be a super tough challenge for me! I may sit this week out.

Stampin'NPA · 4 Weeks Ago

Hey Jackie! Oh, I hope you're feeling better! I wanted to ask you, did you really have the same idea as me for the disco challenge?! That's really scary!!!! LOL!

Oooh, me either. Elegant is so not me. Stamping or otherwise. But, I'll see how well I can fake it.

jkerr1 · 4 Weeks Ago

Ooh, the waltz...hmmm, gotta go put that thinking cap on

Yeah, not me! I'm never fully put together at any given time!

I'll just sit and watch everyone else be elegant and creative!

I did! I was going to use the same stamp and make a colorful gridded floor! I was just trying to decide which kind of glitter to use for the hanging disco ball! I think the only difference was that yours was a box sort of and mine was going to fold down so that the floor was coming out at you and then she was going to be sort of a pop up! Too funny! I saw yours and was like...hmmm guess its back to the drawing board! lol

That is really crazy! Too bad you got sick and couldn't finish it! That sounds like it was going to be a fun project!!!! I'm all about 3-D and pop up!

No way silly girl! That's why its called a challenge! I KNOW you can do it, and besides, remember how you all were saying how it helped you GROW during Idol. I personally challenge you NOT to sit this one out!
