Once a month the SCS Dirty Dozen and Dirty Dozen Alumni get together and do a challenge. HereÂ’s the rules for this month:
Challenge Focus: Use one of the oldest stamp sets you own along with embellishments and supplies youÂ’ve had for what seems like forever.
Required Element: RAK - you must mail your card out as a RAK on 3/20 to any DD/DDA - could be a birthday, get well, thinking of you, invite to come play with us, congratulations or just totally random no particular reason RAK. You do not need to tell us who you mailed your card to. For all addresses see the SMAK the DD thread.
Restricted Element: No stamps, tools, or supplies purchased or obtained within the last 6 months. WeÂ’re on the honor system here girls, so use your judgement to keep within the spirit of the challenge.
Bonus Challenge: Use a technique or style you havenÂ’t used in a long time, but was a favorite at some point in your stamping past.

Beautiful! I remember that stamp. I borrowed it once to make a scrapbook page about an old tractor my hubby restored. That earned me a page in the 'best wife ever' book! But he will never know that my coloring never even looked as close to as marvelous as yours does.

Wow, absolutely amazing Jeanne! I love the distressed background and your sanding technique. The apple barrels are what really catch my eye, they are so realistic and beautifully colored. A very stunning card!
