We are going to take a trip to the 80's which reminds me of MTV, shoulder pads and video games.  We are also going to showcase some of this decade's top colors!  Use three of the following on your card:  mauve, blue, pink, grey or tan.  Join us!

Remember to use a stamp older than a year and you must include the age (or approximate age) of the stamp in your blog post. After all – we want to give these old stamps some love!

Be sure to play along with us! This challenge ends August 26, 2022.

We are excited to welcome Christy Stanford back as our guest designer!  Christy blogs at Snapdragon Stamps and has the best profile pic ever!  Christy is a talented card maker and each card is truly thought out and a work of art!  Christy definitely showed her talents with this card!  The challenge colors are a strange mix but she had no problem with them at all!  Beautifully done!  Stop by Christy's blog and leave a comment for her!

Enjoy the inspiration of the design team!
