Try a different look with teal instead.

Peacocks and cream do go together :)

Anything But A Card Challenge #4: Fall/Halloween

Happy Fall! Happy Halloween! It's your choice what will inspire you for our fourth challenge at Anything But A Card Challenges. Like it's name, this challenge requires you to think outside of the card box and create something different.

 For my project, I create a chalkboard frame. All the lovely dark purple (including the flower shape) is ready for you to write a message with chalk, erase, then write again.

I painted, distressed, then sealed this fun piece of useable home decor. The finishing touches were a smart grosgrain ribbon bow & one-eyed monster.

Fun, fun, fun!

Many Thanks

Whenever I create a thank you card, I decided I will make sure to give special thanks on my blog as well.

I appreciate you, Mom & Dad! Without your constant support & love, I wouldn't be where I am today.

Ira, Michaela, & Sonia, thank you for being such wonderful readers of my blog. It's always a joy to see you all stop by!

TIP: Use your cardstock pack cover! The patterned cardstock on this card is actually from the cover of the pack. Since the cover always shows examples of what's inside, it's a great place to get additional cardstock.
