@Bunny1kenobi Thank you! Lego has a bunch of fun flower sets! We’re on a Lego fixation at the moment, and I gotta have 'em all. 
If you like Lego, I’d recommend them! They’re usually quick but interesting builds, and don’t look out of place being nicely displayed.
@storerboughtcreation What a cool cross stitch! Are you making a larger project, or it was just for fun?

This isn’t what I initially had planned for the Battle, but I wasn’t as productive (craft-wise) over my vacation as I planned, so this is the project that made the cut!

Project Name: Lettuce Craft Address Book
Project Link: n/a
Brief Description: I decided to create an address book of as many LC members as I could. I started with the spreadsheet that was created when the old site shut down. Then, I added more from swaps I have been in. I put each address into a document, then printed them out on colored cardstock. I then used my Big Shot to die cut each one. I made the covers using black cardstock and some punches I had cutout that were leftover from another project (I hand cut the bunch of lettuce). Finally, I punched the holes so I could tie them together (I do have a binder ring for it, but I have misplaced the set of them that I have, so the binder ring will replace the yarn eventually). I already know that a couple of these addresses are out of date, but I’ll get them updated as needed.

Prompt: March - Monster Cookie

Project Name: Medieval Animal ATC
Project Link: Metallic ATCs
Brief Description: This is an ATC contains a monstrous creature. I was going for a lion in medieval style, but breaking up your own style is hard. I heavily leaned on a piece of a leopard… at least I think it was a leopard. It had spots. This card includes my current monster obsession with metallics.
