...Be Inspired Challenge #67

Happy Wednesday! I am having such a great time being the January Guest Designer for the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog, and this is my sample for today's Be Inspired Challenge #67. I am in L-O-V-E with the new Verve set "Love Monkey"...can you tell? LOL! I reached for my new pack of BasicGrey's Nook & Pantry patterned papers for inspiration, and came out with this rust, chocolate, and white combination. The chocolate horizontal panel was embossed with the Cuttlebug Mandarin Screen Embossing Folder, but the orange rectangular piece under the focal panel was embossed using the Cuttlebug Japanese Scales Embossing Folder. I am loving these new embossing folders, too...you will definitely see more of them!

That's it for me today! Be sure to hop over to the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog to see the other design team members' pieces of art...those ladies are so flippin' talented! Thanks for stopping by to see me today, and I will see you tomorrow with another Verve creation! Until then...
