Default APR24VSNG ~ If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Sat Apr 20 @ 3 pm EDT

Challenge Title: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Hostess: Jeanette / Forest Ranger
Keyword:APR24VSNG
Date: April 20, 2024 @ 3:00 pm EDT

Interpretation
Leave something alone; avoid attempting to correct, fix, or improve what is already sufficient.


Challenge
The last thing I do when designing/making a card is decide what embellishments to use and where to put them - whether the card needs an embellishment or not. For this challenge, we're going to make cards with NO EMBELLISHMENTS at all. As we glance at our cards. we'll see they "ain't broke" so we don't need to "fix" them by adding embellishments.

View the Gallery for this challenge: HERE
View the Famous Last Words Gallery: HERE
View the Famous Last Words Master Challenge Thread: HERE


1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 11 pm EDT on April 29th, 2024.
2. You have 1 hour to complete each challenge unless otherwise noted. (you do not have to count prep time.)
3. We have a special gallery for the Famous Last Words VSN:
a) From the "Main Gallery" dropdown list on the first page of the uploader, choose Events and Special Collections.
b) From the Sub-gallery dropdown list, choose Virtual Stamping and Scrapbooking Nights ~ it's last in the list.
c) From the new sub-gallery dropdown list choose Famous Last Words - it's usually the very top of the list.
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your
image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid
typos.
5. Please do not combine VSN challenges...but you may combine any other challenges with a VSN challenge!

It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in
this chat thread to be sure your creation is seen. THANKS SO MUCH FOR
PLAYING ALONG!!!

I look forward to seeing your cards!

It was hard to not want to add embellishments.
