I did a twofer today. This is Viva La Verve with a twist Sketch Challenge #1 with the twist being hardware and today's TLC challenge to use pleats.
I also included my challenge to myself: to try to use more DP on cards this year as I am DP challenged. Getting one piece of DP to work is a BIG success for me, and having to get two that work together stresses me out just thinking about it ! Maybe by mid-year I'll be ready to mix two together....think I should just just I buy SU DP when I get to that part as it will definitely keep my stress/frustration level down LOL!
Speaking of stress and frustration levels.....I just about lost it trying to make this accordion flower!! BIG note to self: do NOT try to make this when you only have mini glue dots!! However, I wasn't going to let a piece of paper get the best of me so I persevered and after much glue, tape and paper and lots of muttering under my breath, I managed to get it to stick together. Score: WRM 1 and Paper 0 Yeah!
TFL and listening
