WooHoo I got to do today's challenge this morning. Thanks Kim for hosting today's fun challenge. This is for today's WAYS TO USE IT CHALLENGE - Monograms, Tuesday's COLOR CHALLENGE - Chocolate Tangerine Kisses, and Monday's TECHNIQUE LOVERS CHALLENGE - Mini Pizza Boxes. Well as soon as I saw the challenge today I knew what I had to make. I bought this gorgeous Alphabet set last year with intentions of make a co-worker a monogram Christmas or Birthday set of cards. Guess what I never got around to making, until today that is. She has a horse that she loves to ride so I paired the circle design from Together Forever with the letter from her last name along with the border line of running horses from Bareback. For the box I used old olive and choc chip craft ink then heat embossed with detail clear EP. The "K" is cut out and popped up. I used the Mega and Giga scallop circle punches on the box and the Mega and SU scallop circle for the 3x3 cards. I even decorated the inside of the 3x3 card. Yeh! Did some doodling on the vanilla circle of the card since I just stamped them in ink and did not emboss them. Hope she likes it.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I've been puzzling over what to do about a small gift for my cousin's daughter for her birthday, and this would be PERFECT!!! She's into horses, so I wanted to use them somewhere, but wasn't sure what else to do to make it 'girly' (at least a little) Brilliance!
