This is for the Free for All challenge today which was to use newspaper print. My news print is on the dp strip on the bottom which is subtle and I am not sure if it shows well.
I also chose to play in the Queen for the Day challenge for the first time, how fun! I had two that I was trying to decide between from Gabby's gallery but then I chose this card which inspired me:
I made a collage tag using 3 stamp sets from Sweet N Sassy stamps. See, here I go again doing the distressed collage theme. Hopefully, I won't be needing an intervention lol. I also used seam binding for the first time- love that stuff!

Wonderful card, Janette! OMGoodness I love all of that awesome distressing and stamped layers and colors and ... want my address? Christmas is coming. Haha! Two things: First, once you start distressing baby, there ain't no goin back ... oh yah, you can still be inspired to create a traditional style card--and you will--but you'll always "wanna" distress it. It will take great discipline to not at least ink the edges. Hee! Second, it's okay to make more than one card for a challenge ... some of "us" do ... just sayin. Thank you for coming to my "party!" Hee!
