Here's my creation for this week's challenge. The theme is Anything Goes! I have itching to use this cutie pie new stamp, Strawberry Yummy Tilda (LOVE her!!), so this gave me the perfect opportunity! Also, my teamies and I are showcasing cuttlebug products this week. I love my cuttlebug machine, and use it for most of my die cutting needs. But, I did get the opportunity this week to also dust off my neglected embossing folders! So much fun to use older items in my stash and re-love them again!
