Another fun Challenge at All That Scraps Weekly Wednesday Challenge blog! Christine from All That Scraps asked me a few weeks ago to join the Design Team and I was delighted to say, “yes”! I love her stamps! This is my third post for the team but I never know how to blurt out my exciting news! lol Takes me a while, I guess! lol

This week we’re following a recipe: (glad it’s a stamps, paper, tape and scissors kind of thing!)

4 embellishments – I used Making Memories glitter brads
3 papers – I used Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses pattern paper
2 colors – I used shades of pink (R30’s & E07) and blue green (BG0000,000,02)
1 image – I used a stamp from CC Designs Otis and Milo Winter Wishes set

I inked the Otis and Milo stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it with Copic Sketch markers. Martha Stewart’s snowfall punch around the page set for the corner and border. Matted with Chili card-stock from Prism.

Be sure to stop by the ATS Weekly Wednesday challenge blog to say “hi” and check out the other DT gal’s creations. We’d LOVE it if you joined us with the recipe this week!
