It's been a chilly, rainy weekend here in East Texas, which made it perfect for staying indoors. I had to work for a bit yesterday, but afterwards, I cleaned my place up and then got my craft on. I have to admit, I did have issues trying to figure out what to make. I've been on hiatus for long enough that my mojo was missing for a bit. Since I had been itching to make something, I was disappointed that my card didn't come together that easily. Hopefully, I'll get to make stuff more often, so that I get back into the swing of things. I'm sure it's just like riding a bike, right? :-)
Since today is Sunday, there is a new Pile It On challenge posted. There is a slight change this year, as we will now be posting every two weeks, instead of every week. We're hoping that gives people more time to join us. The challenge this week is to use something on your card that begins with the first letter of your first name. I chose sequins. Here is my card.
I am trying to tap into more of my CAS side this year. Lots of white space with small pops of color seem to appeal to me more and more these days. I'm hoping that with practice, I'll be able to get better at it. I'm sure the recipient of this card will be thrilled, as one of her favorite colors is red. I'm going to submit my card for the following challenges...
Inkspirational Challenge #99: Thank you & Use Something New (the thanks die and hearts die are new)
Simon's Monday Challenge: Something New
The ABC Challenge: Y Is For Your Choice (anything goes)
The Card Concept #46: Inspiration Photo

Simon's Wednesday Challenge: Something New
Aud Sentiments Challenge #146: Thank You
CAS(E) This Sketch #154: Sketch
Just Us Girls Challenge #325: Metallics (the silver panel and my red hearts are metallic)
I do hope you'll head over to see the other cards that are posted. They're fantastic! Since our challenge is now two weeks, I'm also hopeful you'll be able to join us.
That's all for me. I'm off to church, then lunch with friends, before I come home to make more stuff. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Hugs!
