This month's kit promises to take me in some new directions!
I welcome that change.

April's Challenge #1:
Pick your favorite challenge going on right now on any other blog
(could
be non scrappy related, too). Don't forget to link it up!
(Did you catch my coordinated red/white/blue above, hehe?)
I am not very regular with challenge blogs or sketch sites,
so I began a rather random search and ended up here:
"Drill #52: We all hate
to scrap ourselves. We all hate to share our own stories.
But we need to! So this week that is our challenge to you!
Share five little facts about yourself. Projects can be layouts, art journal pages,
canvas or other altered projects as long as you share five little things about yourself!"
I had a second level of inspiration - this layout from Becki Adams:
I just loved those title letters and knew the large Autumn Leaves alpha stamp set in my kit
would be perfect! Then, off to the Magic Blue Box and my Messy Throwdown kit...
I decided that I loved how the fussy-cut letters looked on a kraft background, then
I chose the large striped paper. Five stripes - perfect for my Five Little Things About Me.
If you check the detailed shot below you will catch one of my stamping boo-boos.
The "T" in night owl (lol - but it really wasn't my fault as the stamp fell off the stick
and apparently I put it back on wrong. Oh. I guess that DOES make it my fault...)
For those with stamping anxiety I did do practice layouts with each of these squares.
The retired one didn't turn out too hot anyway because I didn't stick to the plan.
I can live with that.
Simple, graphic, bold.
I would say that keeps true to the vibe of the Messy Box inspiration kit!
