Blogger's Challenge Week 11 - This one was hard!


This one was sooo tough. The challenge was to
use the Circus Train card from page 92 of the Stampin' Up! catalog as inspiration. I struggled with this one! I did not find the layout appealing initially -- very plain backgrounds just don't do it for me! After an hour of struggle, I finally was inspired. I have to admit, this started out simpler -- but I just kept going and going... It has ALOT of elements, but I actually like it!

Make sure to check out the other Blogger's Challenge cards from the ladies in the group --
you will be amazed at the absolute variety and creative thinking that was put into this.

Pat...I struggled with the plain background, too! I love the winter theme you used...my original thought was snow, too! Great job...I love it!

Funny how this layout was so unappealing to so many of us. Anyway you did a fine job with it. I love the use of the border stamp to create the pierced look. Also love all the pretty embossing. Ida
