Hot Mess - October 2025

It's the 12th of January, time to get messy. (insert deer-in-the-headlight look) As you likely recall from previous 12ths, I am not one who likes messes. Not one bit. BUT a challenge is only a challenge if it stretches you, and I'm up for the Hot Mess Success Challenge. 

Barb, Carol, Darlene, Terry, and I create cards for the Hot Mess Success challenge each month and share them on the 12th. 

It's Anything Goes - as long as there is something messy involved.

I love the look of ink splatters - when someone else does them - but I always was unsatisfied when I tried making them and definitely was not a fan of the mess. However, after watching Taylor's class on World Cardmaking Day, I decided to give them a try again. This time I actually was satisfied with the look.

Be sure to check out the other Hot Mess gals blogs, too, to see their cards (you'll be WOW'd!)...
