Stampin' With Michelle Pepper

I still have time to participate in  this week 's challenge at Freshly Made Sketches: I was looking at the samples by FMS' Design Team for quite some time before it dawn on me what was it that is different to what I'd normally do. It was the layering which I don't usually do.  So that's like a challenge within a challenge for me today.

It might be that it doesn't work well because I haven't yet build up enough posts on my blog? Off to investigate some tonight.....
