Our Creative Corner - It's Embossable!

Welcome OCC friends! We would like to thank all those that stopped by and played along with us last week!! Before we show you this weeks samples, we would like to spotlight one of our participants... Stefanie from Stefanie's Basteleck. Please stop by her Blog to see more of her gorgeous work.


Can you believe it's August already... In fact, it seems embossable! (yes, a cheesy segue, I know) So with that being said, this week our challenge is to use embossing (i.e. heat, resist, dry, etc.) on your project.

There is no time limit on our challenges. Participate whenever you are able To play along, upload your creation to our blog or gallery, then use our linking system to submit your entry. If you upload to SCS, please remember to use the keyword: OCCC.

Now let's see what our design team has come up with!
