Festive Friday Challenge #108 - National Eat What You Want Day

Festive Friday Challenge #108 - National Eat What You Want Day

• Friday, 29 April 2022

It's time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  Every second Friday we post a challenge for you with a specific theme and an Inspo List of 10 items to choose from to create your project.  We encourage you to create a project based on the theme and Inspo List and then post it using at least 3 items from the inspiration list.

This week’s challenge FF #108 - National Eat What You Want Day

Your goal is to simply use three or more items from the inspiration list on your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  At Festive Friday, you do not need to actually celebrate the occasion. I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D project and join us. You don’t need a blog to enter Festive Friday. Check out this link on how you can play along with this challenge. If you want help entering, please email me at stampinwithmelva@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help you!  

For my card I used birthday, red, punch and ribbon from the Inspo List.  It features the Stampin' Up!® Sending Smiles from the upcoming 2022-2023 Annual Catalogue that launches on May 3rd!   The Designer Series Paper is called Perfectly Penciled - also from the upcoming Annual Catalogue!
