Another Two For One Today...

The Art of Stripes: Over 30 ways to wear stripes: Amazon.co.uk: Hardie Grant, Libby VanderPloeg: 9781784881511: BooksYesterday I used a Library Challenge (draw your inspiration from the title, cover, or story of the chosen book) and today I am using another Library Challenge.  The book for this challenge is The Art Of Stripes.  The Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge was a great compliment to the Library Challenge.  I love this Beautiful You stamp set from Stampin Up.  She is such a classy looking lady and I love adding rhinestones to create a necklace for her.  This time I left the sentiment off saving it until I know who I am sending it too.

Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts full...bathtub full of hot water//my coffee cup//guest list for my daughters wedding.
