For someone who loves patterned paper, I sure haven't used it much in the past years. It doesn't lend to my usual clean and simple style. So I am trying to use it more often. I'm so glad I found Call Me Crafty Al's Sheetload of Cards idea.... she posts a new template every month where you can make a "sheetload" of cards but she also provides the measurements so that you can make just one card. As I don't often feel the need to have a bunch of cards the same, I am doing the one card ideas.
I also want to wish a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the team at Time Out Challenges!! If you like to work with challenges, I think you'll like this one!

ReplyDeleteLove your card design and the link to Call Me Crafty Al! I have so many paper pads that I had to have but then go blank for card layouts.
