CMW2: 15 Cards, 1 Challenge, and a Whole Lot of Inked Fun

Sometimes a challenge inspires one idea… and sometimes it inspires. 🤷🏼‍♀️ CMW #2 was filled with everything I love about creating — color combos that challenged me, layouts that made me think, and a good ol’ “use the scraps” moment (or two). I leaned into the Inked & Tiled stamp set, coordinating DSP and punches, and even brought in a few retired favorites along the way.

This round gave me everything:

✔️ Marker-huffing florals

✔️ A throwback rotary phone

✔️ DSP drama (those colors weren’t easy!)

✔️ Fun folds and layering experiments

✔️ And, of course, a giant pile of scraps begging to be used.

And let’s not forget the occasional crafting chaos — including a slightly crooked foam board and some background drama. But all part of the process, right?

If you followed along on socials this month, THANK YOU. These challenges help stretch my creativity, and it’s been fun sharing the journey with you.

Next up? Something fresh, a little purple, and a whole lot of “linked together” magic. Stay tuned…

Until we craft together again,
