I'm back :) It has been a busy day, not only did Jim and I get out for a bike ride, I created two cards using two challenges I haven't participated in before. Isn't that wonderful. I sure do hope this MOJO sticks around for a while.
The Paper Players challenge this week is Christmas in July, which is so hard to say because it is unbelievable that it is July already and that Christmas is just around the corner. It surely doesn't feel like July because this summer has been very mild and I love it. The rain, I know, has helped that tremendously. It is supposed to be nice this week, but not hot, so I can go with that.
I also did something that I typically don't do for this challenge, I made a very simple card. I am one who typically puts all kinds of embellishments on my card, but didn't want that for this one. I haven't put a cut on my card base before and wanted to give it a try; I really like how it turned out. I used my SU markers to color in my image (another thing I rarely do) and even though I have a lot more work to do with those, was happy with how it turned out.
I could get used to this clean and simple style because this took me about 20 minutes to make. Wonderful :)
Enjoy your evening.
Janet
