Seriously Challenged.

Yep. I was stumped by this month's Lizzie Anne Designs DT challenge---> use something around the house that you normally wouldn't find on a card.

How about a ziplock flower? That works, right?

Stamps: Brilliant Blooms & Vintage Verses

Paper Crafts Magazine Presents: A Card Style Mystery Blog Hop

Morning! :)

Card Style is just AMAZING! :) Do you have your copy YET?

Not only does it inspire you to kick up your go-to style but it also pushes you to try out some others. :)

Are you READY for FUN & CUTE?

Fun & Cute.

For my FUN & CUTE card I picked a Lizzie Anne Design image...they are almost always 100% fun & cute! :)

AND of course, I had to add a bright and fun color combo (YELLOW is a SURE HIT!), a bit of scallops to increase the cute factor and some trendy clouds.

The gingham ribbon just seals the FUN & CUTE deal.

Who doesn't love a card that is FUN & CUTE?

Seriously.....cute cards are the BEST to get.

They bring priceless smiles.

How do you do it?

WELL.......just grab a cute image, some fun colors and add cute paper and you are DONE!
