My first thought when I looked at this finished card was: Yep a third grade teacher made this card!
Back in the day I loved doing art projects with my class and they often involved blocks of bright colors! I started making cards after I retired and I soon realized that what I told my kids then apply to my card making sessions today.......
1. Don’t be so hard on yourself.
2. Enjoy the process......don’t worry about what your neighbor is doing.
3. Paper has two sides.....flip it over and start again if you need to.....and remember there are always more pieces on the back table!
I love Kim’s sweet sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches! So many possibilities! Hope you join us!
