I recently attended regionals in Hartford, and a main focus for this year with SU! is their concept of "plus one". So, the idea is we can make change happen one event, one idea, on change, etc. at a time. The last couple of years I haven't been very focused on my SU! business and I found that I haven't even made time to stamp for pleasure. So, I decided that my plus one for this year was to make AND SEND cards for all of the major holidays.
So, this week I particpated in both the sketch and the color challenge and came up with one of my Mother's Day cards. I really like that this card doesn't use pastels as I tend to lean towards them #hence my recently posted Easter cards#. I feel like the card almost has a tropical or Hawaiian flair!
I have to admit the sketch challenge for this week cracked me up a little bit as it's one of my favorite layouts #again hence my recently posted Easter cards#.
I also think that maybe another plus one for me #or is that plus two now?# is to get some camera lessons. I really struggle with the photographs for my cards and I feel like I spend more time taking the pictures than I do making the cards!
