Tia's Tips: I hope you are enjoying your papercraft journey! It's so important that you enjoy what you are doing and don't compare yourself to anyone else, but yourself! Recently while crafting I discovered half way thru my card that I just didn't really like what was coming together. I had confidence in myself to realize that I could think of something "better" and gave myself permission to scrap-it and start in a new direction. In the end, I was so much happier with the final card and glad I made the move to start over. I always want to please myself and push myself to create what I know I can, and you can too!
Summer Break Challenge-Anything Goes!
The Paper Shelter- Have Fun In The Sun digital stamp.
Now it's your turn to create and win!
Up for grabs at The Paper Shelter for the next 4 weeks is a fantastic prize! The winner will win a $30 store voucher if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your entry (you could choose the pre-colored image, the black and white digi, or the digital paper that comes in the set), or 3 digis of your choice, if you've used another brand. You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them. Good luck!!!
For many of you Summer is in full swing and I hope like me you are enjoying it! Which is why I am so in love with all of the great Summer digital images over in the Paper Shelter store right now!
I selected "Have Fun In The Sun", because I loved that she was enjoying a bit of a summer treat and the great tropical pieces in her hair! I knew I wanted to add some tropical flowers and papers to my card!
I made the digi rather large and ended up with a 5x7 sized card base.
While looking for paper flowers in my stash I discovered this awesome popsicle ribbon! To help it stand out, I placed it upon the white scalloped border.
I chose an orange border to draw attention to the orange-creamsicle in her hand (yes, orange is my favorite!)
There are so many great summer images, so head over to the store, grab an image and enter it in the challenge and then you can get even more!!!
