Welcome to the CardMaker "Comfort Zone" Blog Team hop!
After an informal conversation at CHA about our own personal card making styles and how we often wish we could create in similar styles to others, Brooke (our fearless and decidedly devious leader) challenged us all to "Get Out" of our comfort zone and create something that was completely NOT our normal style.
Ummmm... Brooke, don't you realize that it took me YEARS to be able to actually identify my own "style" and finally embrace it?
I have come to accept that my style is simple, cutsie and colored. Yup, that's me... with rarely a deviation from the standard.
So HOW was I going to accomplish this challenge? Comfort Zone... heck, I would have to get out of my time zone, my end zone and my oh-zone to do this one.
And after all of that fussing and worrying, here's what I created:
Check it out peeps! No Stamping, No Coloring, No Cutsie! OMG... I actually think I love it! (Although all white cards are a pain in the butt to photograph!)
How's THAT for changing up my style?
Make sure to head on over to the other designer's blogs to check out how they tackled this challenge.
