Less is More - Off the Page Challenge
I'm feeling so much better after hearing from my son in Japan yesterday. I have to say making cards this weekend has kept my mind off of worrying about him. He will be going to Sendai today to help with the relief efforts there, so I'm sure I won't hear from him again for a few days. I did spend some time trying to work out some challenging cards. This week's challenge over at Less is More was to create a one layer card with part of the image off the page. This was even more challenging for me than the previous ones, because I am not a stamper. I only own a few stamps and I mostly handwrite or print out from MS Word my sentiments. I do mostly die cutting and using embellishments. Thanks for stopping by.
