March Madness!
March is National Craft Month! This is always a good time to stop by your local craft store, because there are sure to be lots of sales and classes and extra fun to help spread the joy of crafting.
I recently started participating in an online paper crafting community at Creative Crafts and Stickers. What a wonderful and talented group of crafters! (Hey ladies!) They are doing some super fun challenges and contests all month long in honor of National Craft Month. Go check it out!
The first challenge was to use some black in a design. Here are my entries:
This card is very simple, but I like it. I could easily turn the flowers into fireworks for a 4th of July card, or into balloons for a birthday card!
This card has been bouncing around in my mind for quite a while now, I just needed the challenge to get it out in the open! It is inspired by this beautiful Chinese-style tunic my mother made for me. I wore it to Christi’s wedding last weekend.

(That’s me wearing it, and my wonderful husband beside me – isn’t he handsome?!)
Now on to the next March Madness challenge – Monochrome! We can only use varying shades of one color in the whole design. This will be fun!
Happy Crafting!
