FRIDAY!

The weekend is here.  Do you have any fun plans?  Hopefully, whatever your plans, they include some time to create.  Check out the Friday Inspiration File for some great projects to jump start your creativity.

 

 

Today's cards are blue versions of a card I shared a few days ago.  One is a layered, embellished card.  The other is a simple, easy to mail version.  I think of them as Couture vs. Ready To Wear. 

 

 

Couture are the designs that are layered, have elements that go off the edge, and are generally hard to mail. I tend to make most cards like this and then end up spending way too much to mail them.  When the cards start piling up I like to give them away, but feel bad knowing that whomever I give them to will have a difficult time mailing them too. 

 

 

Ready To Wear are the cards that have the same creative elements, but are quick, simple, and easy to mail; more practical.  I've decided to try to make this version each time I make a card.  The supplies are already out.  So I'm challenging myself to simplify my design each time and see what I come up with.

 

 

Have a great weekend!

I'm off for my morning walk and

then I'm going to spend the day with my dad.
