I'm not quite sure if you'll love me or hate me for this challenge! :rolleyes: It may be a stretch but you can do it! Do you find yourself designing in the same style(s) most of the time. Today it's time to stretch yourself and try something new. Don't do vintage? Today's a good day to try it out. Collage? Give it a whirl! For those of you who use all those layers...how about trying clean and simple? When you upload, I'd love to hear about your usual style and how what you've tried today is totally out of the box for you. We all have styles that we gravitate to, either because we love them, are good at them or both. What inspired this challenge was a tag I created. As a designer, sometimes you are asked to create with product that might not be quite your style but your job is to make it work to the best of your ability. It can be quite the step out of the box but I always love a challenge and it can be super fun to try something new. Feel free to create cards, layouts or altered projects for this challenge. I hope you have fun with the challenge!
Please remember to put WT237 in your keywords section and post a link back to this thread so that we can all see your project. Please link only newly uploaded cards for this challenge. We want to get you creating!
OMGosh! How great is this??? I don't do "homey" scenes ....Why not? Just not "my thing." I made a card that was a Homey Scene! I am more a "floral" and nature scene type...I have NEVER tried to use dp as wall paper, either...So, today...well..
This is tough for me. I've never thought I have a "style" that is "me." I like making things with all styles. I am sure, though, that I do and I just overlook it. I probably make more CAS cards because my customers like them more. Still, not sure I'd say it's "my style." So I will have to think on this one. And with all I have to do today... not sure that I have time to "think." LOL

Hmmm - have to think. Masculine is hard for me - so are vintage and collage if I set out to do them. Sometimes they just happen...I'll be back when I work out which box to step out of.

Hi what a challenge it sure was one of those love hate things. I wasn't sure if this fit for the challenge but this is what I did Do what you love by gm2785 at Splitcoaststampers
Thanks Gloria M.
Here is my card for today's challenge. I have stepped way out of my box here! The first step out is the stamp. I struggled with the decision to purchase this set, but I love the chair and purchased the set so that I could adapt the image by removing the cat and pillow. Second step out is the coloring, definitely not my comfort zone! Third step is the bow. I admit it, I cannot tie a pretty bow to save my life! So I avoid them. I am crawling back into my box now...
here is my card for the challenge, it was a double outside the box challenge for me. Enjoy playing ladies, I'm off to work, will commnt when I get home. tfl
Simple Pumpkins is my card for today. Simple is wwwwaaaaayyyyyy out of my comfort zone. Thanks for looking.
