It’s been forever since I’ve posted on a Saturday! But this truly is the first chance I’ve had to do anything creative in the past couple of weeks. You see, I’m in Seattle because my youngest daughter got engaged on Tuesday – we are thrilled to little bits! So with all the hustle and bustle of traveling from AZ to WA and throwing a fun little engagement party for Amy and her fiancé, Joe, my craft supplies have been extremely lonely!
Now that things have quieted down a bit, I just HAD to get my craft on! And what better way to get back into my crafty groove than to participate in one of Cath’s current challenges for the Moxie Fab World, right?! I haven’t played along in soooo long, and I realized when I got to actually hug sweet Cath for the first time at Winter CHA (she’s just as adorable in real life as I knew she would be), that I really miss her challenges! So here I am, and it feels great to be back!
Cath has several challenges going on right now for the 75 Creative Card Challenges special issue (with a deadline of Monday, February 4th, so you still have time to play along). I chose the Itty Bitty Card Challenge, which is to create a card that is no bigger than 3” x 3”. I am in love with the Polaroid Camera craze these days – it’s so funky and vintage, yet super graphic, too! I created a very simple and graphic design on my Silhouette Cameo and cut it out – so freakin’ easy! I am also loving this color combo that I saw in quite a few new paper lines at CHA – gray, tomato, aqua, and white. It’s so fun and bright! The sentiment that I stamped came from a new stamp set that I got from Simon Says Stamps called You. My card measures 3” x 2.75” – it’s sooo itty bitty!
