CMC Mixed Media Challenge and some news

Happy Saturday everyone. Let me start with my news first, I am now part of the CMC Mixed Media DT, yes, me and mixed media, can you believe it. I thought this was a great way to learn and grow with my mixed media items that have been sitting and collecting dust lol. We have a fabulous team headed by Marti Wills. My DT mates are Tina and Nadja and they do some pretty awesome projects. Now on to the challenge, it is to use acrylic paint somewhere on your project. I do hope you will stop by and check out the challenge and the awesome DT projects.
