After being so pleased with myself last week for finally making a Christmas card I decided to keep going with it. The Merry Monday Challenge was one of the first things that popped up on my Feedly page this morning so I went to check it out. And then I almost left. It was a dreaded Bingo challenge! I usually avoid these like the plague. Too many options = too much stress for Jen. But then I decided to stop being a baby and actually challenge myself - a novel concept! I went with the first column - sparkle, die cut, red. Not sure why but I decided on a backwards wreath - red leaves and green berries. Hey, if I'm gonna step outside of my comfort zone then I'm gonna step allll the way out! I just hope I can find my way back in…

I'm giggling at Tracey's comment...mostly because Connor keeps trying to imitate that bleeping episode. AUGH! I happen to think this is an excellent little step out - not too far. The gate on your comfort zone is totally still unlocked!
ReplyDeleteStunning card.
