Trying some more!

I'm having lots of fun in my craft room this summer (sometimes, when it's a mess, hubby calls it the "crap room"). On these very HOT Atlanta days, as long as the fan is running, my dog is at my side keeping me company. Ranger, our Brittany Spaniel, usually doesn't have an opinion about what I'm working on.

Freshly Made Sketches offered another opportunity for me to create something to submit to their weekly challenge. Take a minute to enjoy their blog and get some inspiration! http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2012/07/freshly-made-sketches-45-sketch-by-cindy.html?m=1

Simple, clean designs are the only way to go for me---did I mention, I'm creatively challenged? I think I may have created the most complex card I have ever made. I'll bet this looks like kindergarten level work for most of you who have been doing this for awhile, but it was definitely a challenge for me. Check it out below!

First Ever Challenge Post

So this blogging thing is trying to cut my life short! Doing this from the iPhone is much more CHALLENGING than the darn papercrafting challenge itself was!

I originally planned on submitting my card to 3 blogs. Alas, I couldn't get my pic to load soon enough to make the posting deadline for the Colour Q challenge (you will notice that I did use SU colors: Real Red, Pear Pizzazz, Kraft, Basic Black and White).

However, I am posting this for challenge FMS44 from Freshly Made Sketches (http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2012/07/freshly-made-sketches-44-sketch-from.html?m=1). Also, I'm throwing my hat in the ring for Moxie Fab World's Stamp It! Cards Week "Hello Card" Challenge (http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2012/06/stamp-it-cards-week-hello-card.html?m=1).

Simple is best for me, since I am absolutely creatively challenged...besides, I love circles and saying "Hello".

Hopefully this will actually post...now to try to link it to FMS and Moxie Fab World! Wish me luck...
