I used the challenge (Forums at Splitcoaststampers) to make thank you gifts/cards for the teachers and bus driver we have this school year. I think I may have made the challenge harder on myself as I only used 3 colors cs, 4 colors ink, one main stamp set, one stamp from a set and one word from another set!
Group picture includes (from top left): card, candle, tea bag card, genie bag, post-it note holder, card, covered mini notepad, pen, tag card, mini matchbook notepad, small tall card
12x12 Pattern paper: one sheet of Spring flowers (used contrast side for punched out flowers)
Stamp set: Looks like Spring, Small Script (only used Grateful) & Tag Kit (only used one stamp)
Colors: True Thyme, Chocolate Chip, Kraft paper, Cameo Coral ink, Morning Marigold ink
Embellishments: Dazzling diamond, brads, hodgepodge, ribbon, stickles
Side note, I think pattern paper is like rabbits! It kept multiplying every time I looked away! You think you are done with that one 12x12 sheet when you find that little piece that you just know you can make something out of it!
Thanks for looking.

Beautiful set! Love the brown with this patterned paper. I especially love the candle with all the punched flowers! And I love your rabbit analogy! LOL!

I think it's great that you stuck to the same sets and colors; it shows all of us how to make a beautifully coordinated gift set! I'm definitely inspired to use my Spring Flowers paper after seeing this! TFS!
