USE YOUR STUFF - Challenge 363 - Mood Board




Scrapbook and Cards Today has all sorts of free cut files available on their web site.  I scaled this one down to card size and cut from black cardstock (Recollections).  The rest of the products are all from the SCT September 2018 Sampler.

The llama was fussycut from one of the patterned papers.

Let's see what the rest of the Design Team gals have come up with here.
