On to today's creative item... today's Stampin' Up Only Challenge is to create a project using your favorite new Occasions mini item. Bordering on... stingy? Here's another Bordering on Romance sample. This set really didn't catch my eye at first, and I'll tell you, I'm having the most fun coloring it. But what's up with stingy? Well, I ran some of the DSP through my printer, which happened to be dirty with crayon. Don't ask how that happened! Anyway, some of the DSP didn't fair too well, but I couldn't bear to toss it. So I threw it into this layout, and you can hardly tell!

The new edgelits make such a nice designed edge to the card. I cut the Baja Breeze and Whisper White pieces separately, but I suppose I could have ran them through together. Embossing is recommended to be done last.

This sample is for our recent sideline meeting. We get together every quarter and share shoebox projects, finished swaps, and business discussions. Sharing stamping with friends is just another perk of being a demo!
