Know Your ABC's

Hello fellow crafters! It's time again for another Mix-Ability challenge where I challenge us to do something a bit out of our normal crafting style.

I don't want to give away too much about the challenge, so if you are super curious take this link to Splitcoaststampers! Here's a teaser. The challenge acronym "ABC" stands for something about the beginning of mixed media movement. Are you more intrigued? Jump over to the challenge right away!

Come join in the fun!
