TFATU January 2023 REMINDER and Special Collaboration Announcement

 January 2023 REMINDER and Announcement of a Special Collaboration with Double Trouble 

starts January 20th-31st!

New design inspiration from some of TFATU crew:

Above: the talented DT Granmargaret has added 2 types of stitching lines to her image and sentiment boxes! Isn't the main horizontal image terrific for The Fairy and The Unicorn!!! And the dragonfly is a fabulous bonus accent!

Above: owner/DT Becca has added stitching lines to accent 3 of the 4 corners of the main focal kraft paper layer. For the fantasy component, there are 2 gnomes ready for Christmas standing on either side of their little gnome house!

See how wonderful and easy it is to combine Thing 1 and Thing 3!!!

*******************************

*Take note: Double Trouble's competition time period for #130 goes about 5 more days, so that gives you a chance to create an extra "Thing 1 Trouble Maker" --Keep Us In Stitches themed card(s).
