Happy WOYWW to you dear friends! This week I am home with the sniffles but I created another lovely card before I became bed-bound. My personal creative challenge for the week was to create a “project within a project”.
Inspired by Craft Room Challenges, I decided to use their ATC Challenge as my jumping off point by making an ATC and incorporating it into a card! ATCs, of course, are stand-a-lone treasures – but, from time-to-time, it’s fun to use them in other creative ways!
Top Tuesday Tip: Create small projects such as ATCs, bookmarks, tags and then incorporate them into larger projects such as cards, gift wraps, and scrapbooks to create a “project within a project”!
The stamps, inks, and lovely sentiment are from Close To My Heart (Stamp Set is Treasure Life – D1306). The origami paper and printed ribbon is from Wholeport.
Need a pick-me-up? Visit Wordless Wednesday for a little Cat Karma, Tsunami-style!
Have an awesome week! Hope to see you at Inspire Me Monday and Friendship Friday!
