Hello!!

Another week, another challenge at

The theme as always is

ANYTHING GOES
The light here is terrible lately. Such dark, dismal days.
But here is my DT inspiration for this challenge.

I used a die cut sheet from a pad in my stash.

I love these pads.

I made a simple 5x7 'Thank you' card.

The mirror in the bottom right corner is decoupaged slightly.

All the elements I used match.

Hope you find some inspiration from this and will join in our challenge.
