MyGrafico Monday - Challenge 40!!

So sorry that I've been MIA since last Monday. Having four student competitions in four weeks atop my normal hectic teaching load totally drained me, and I needed to take some time off of crafting & blogging. While I love blogging, creating, and connecting with all of you, the break felt really good.

But now I'm back....and with BIG news!!! This week's MyGrafico challenge is our 40th! Not only will the winner receive this fabulous set from BlackLeaf Studios, but she'll also be invited to join us as a guest designer!

The challenge this week is to create a VINTAGE card/LO/project and be sure to use MyGrafico images. With so many freebies available & great deals on sets, we can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Here's my take on the challenge (which I'd like to add was a HUGE challenge for me!!):

Love these images, but I'm not a vintage card maker....in fact, I hope that this looks vintage-y :) I added some Tea Dye distress ink, doesn't that make it vintage? In case you're wondering about my image panel, I just turned the Labels One nestie on its side. Looks cool, doesn't it :)

Be sure to head over to the MyGrafico Challenge Blog and check out all the fabulous creations by the design team!
