But it's the blog hop, and I simply had to come up with something!
This is my play-by-play:
1. Emboss four colors of 4.25x5.5" Lock & Key papers with four different folders.
3. Prepare six 3.25" Black square mattes. Adhere one color of each square to the matte. Leave a small "gutter" around each piece--like a tile.
4. Layer onto a card base nested with that gorgeous handmade paper featured in the Lock & Key collection. Stamp a tiny image from the Collection UM beneath the matted image.
Homerun, yah?
