Hot Mess - April 2026

It's the 12th of the month, 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, 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 always struggle with what to do for this challenge. This month I actually got the idea from a friend's blog. In my words, it involved dabbing ink onto a scrunched up baby wipe and pouncing it onto a piece of cardstock. Check out Maxine's Baby Wipes - My Style blog post --> HERE. It really was a fun technique.

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