Week #73 - 'Mix and Match'

Hello shabby friends and welcome to another fun week of inspiration and creativity here in the Tea Room!  This week Danielle is our host, and she has chosen the FUN theme of 'Mix and Match'!   Danielle asks that we create a card or project using this beautiful photo for inspiration ...



... and use {at least} THREE DIFFERENT PATTERNED PAPERS in your design - manufactured or make your own!  You need not use the colors from the inspiration photo unless you are inspired by them!

Note: Because we are sponsored weekly by wonderful businesses who have graciously donated products and in the interest of fairness to all participants, any entries that do not follow our simple challenge rules will remain in the gallery but will not be eligible for the weekly prizes. Thanks for your understanding and participation!

I am pleased to introduce you all to this week's Guest Designer, Heidi Didriksen - Papir Dama!  Heidi earned this Guest Designer spot for her win during Week #63 - 'Sweet Baby'! 




And a brand new month brings a brand new Special MONTH-LONG Guest Designer ... I am pleased to welcome Andrea Ewen - Ewen Style!



Do you want to be the next Month-Long Guest Designer with the Shabby Girls?  It's as simple as participating in our weekly challenges and WOW-ing us with your projects!  The Shabby Girls might be calling on YOU to be the next Month-Long Guest Designer!!!

On entry #68 I did not put the whole URL that you need... didn't know it until I tried it out. Sooooo, I re-entered at #69 with the correct link and now I have a big red X by my name.
