I hosted a Black History Month Bingo challenge over at
Scraps of Color. The goal is to BINGO using
every item on the Bingo card making a layout.
I created an 8x8 layout (with paper and lace I've hoarded way too long) of my mother with one Bingo (C – Down) AND decided to do a Pocket
Letter for the heART of it using every item on the Bingo
card!

Pearls (under the lace)
Metal (key)
3D embellishment (chipboard button and flower)

Entering in the following challenges:
