There's a new challenge in town!
I won't be able to relax until I play along with the premier challenge at Let's Squash It! After searching through the plethora of embossing folders in my stash, I came up with a WeRMemoryKeepers 3D one that I thought would work extremely well with the requirements for Challenge #1:
Well, I guess I'll let Jo, and Gail be the judge of how well it worked! I've used a piece of matte gold foil card from Michael's - ages old. Here's my card, with my first stamping of this darling Altenew stamp and die set called Warm Heart:
Congratulations on your newest Challenge, Gail and Jo!!

Thank you Gail, and Jo!
