Encore Performance - January 2025

My friend Darlene developed the idea for this series and invited some of us to join her in the challenge. It's called Encore for a reason. We all have those stamps (or other card-making items) that we've only used once even though our intentions were to use them again - and again. After all, we invest a lot of money in our supplies for them only to be used once. So, this series is our opportunity to dust them off and use them a second time.

Challenge Description

Go and grab a stamp set, dies, stencil, etc - your choice, that you have used once before and have always wanted to revisit it and use it again.  However, despite your best intentions, you have yet to use it!  

Now's your chance! Go dig it out and have fun with it once again.  Create anything you like, a card, gift card holder, decorate a gift bag, make a refrigerator magnet...whatever lights up your creative juices!

We'll be posting these Encore cards on or around the 25th of each month.

This month I revisited the Technique Junkies The Right Shoes stamp. This stamp first appeared on a card on my blog on August 21, 2023 - you can see it HERE. I was too intimidated to color it at that time, so left the image uncolored. I always intended to use it again - and coloring it. BUT I never got around to doing that. Until now.

Ooh la la! I think I'm ready to conquer the world.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!
