Challenge Book

I have such a hard time keeping track of the challenges that I do that I decided to make a challenge book. I bought this book for a $1.50 at Michaels and covered it. Easy and cheap! The background I stamped in clear versamark and embossed on vanilla. I then sponged with early espresso and soft suede and cut it into three strips. The main panel I stamped three times without re-inking to get three different shades of brown. I've entered this into "Priscillastyles" sketch challenge, Moving Along with the Times to do "anything but a card and Drunken Stampers to do a monochromatic card but not a black and white one!

Stamps: Stampin Up Sense of Time and Occassional Quotes, Hero Arts Time to Stamp
Paper: very vanilla, early espresso
Ink: early espresso, soft suede
Other: ribbon, Stampin up Buttons, curl
