Did you ever watch Mash? For some reason the image of my mother folding loads and loads of laundry while Mash was on the television pops into my head. Anyway, Alan Alda aka Hawkeye has been quoted: "Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself. Be bold. When you embark on strange places, don't leave any of yourself safely on shore. Have the nerve to go into unexplored territory."
The one thing I really liked about the November Card Kit, available at Artful Delight, is that not only is it packed full of great products but some of the papers I wouldn't necessarily have gravitated towards individually. Like the bold yellows and strong blue patterns. However, after putting them together along with the background stamp from the kit has me patting myself on the back for being bold! (Everything is from the kit except for the sentiment stamp and ink, I also used the layered die from PTI to create the flower).
Please stop on over to the Artful Delight Blog because I hear there is a giveaway involved for the remainder of the month (LeeAnne's giveaways are always thee best!) and...There is just a wee bit of time to play along with the two sketch challenges posted over on the Artful Delight Blog.
WOW...love your bold & bright card!
