Thinking Outside the Square

I tried a new challenge for me this last week on the Cards Blog. The challenge was to create a card that was any shape but square or rectangle.

I had this idea for awhile and thought this challenge was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. I started with the On My Couch stamp set by PapertreyInk. I stamped the outline couch and pillows, then scanned , re-sized, cleaned them up and printed them out on patterned paper.

Inside of Let's Chat

I'm getting everything ready for my class tomorrow, got a full class of 8 creative ladies. I'll be posting all about it tomorrow evening.

Thought for the Day: Romans 15:13  ~ "I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in Him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit."
Blessings to you,
