Welcome to the new March Challenge! This challenge is a special one...
Can you believe that Virginia's View Challenge blog turns ONE YEAR OLD today?
When I started this challenge, I didn't plan to go on this long because it is quite a commitment! Seeking best guest designers, commenting, posting updates and more commenting, choosing Top 10 Favorites...the tasks can be daunting.
But, with the amazing support and the avid participation, YOU make this all possible! For that, thank you for your amazing support and participation during this past year!
For our 13th challenge, We are going rekindle the old flame in stamping....
As you may have experienced, when you fell in love with stamping, it's all because embossing rocks!
Well, let's get back to the basics, that is, embossing.
