Thank you, Betsy! Patterned paper is so beautiful, but I have always struggled at how to mix and match. This helps so much!!!! Thank you – thank you – thank you!
I will definitely play along again this week, as I do each week. I just can’t find the winner from last week’s MIM – making rosette flowers out of PTI border dies. I’ve looked on Facebook as well, did I miss something? Sure hope you’re OK, Nichole.

Help? learning how to enter your Monday challenges, I have a double entry, please delete, or tell me how to delete. #9. I appreciate that very much. Sorry for all the trouble. I didn’t see a place to remove the #9. thanks again for you help.
Thank you so much for such an informative video Betsy! Patterned paper always seemed to scare me a little since I wasn’t sure how to combine them, even if they were from the same paper pack. You have helped take the guess work out if it for me and I so do appreciate it. I love your videos, please keep them coming!! Hugs!
