Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge – 2023 December Anything Goes

 

Hi Artsy Friends,

It’s time to play along with Happy Little Stampers Stencil Challenge again. The Challenge Theme is always Anything Goes.     

I’m kind of sad this time because this is our LAST challenge. I’d like to thank Kylie for hosting several Happy Little Stampers Challenges each month for so many years. I admire her big heart to support and inspire stamping and hand craft world. I just hope someday Kylie will re-host stamping challenges when time is right. I’m gonna miss you so badly, Kylie.
