Krafty Chicks Challenge #705: Anything Goes (ATG)

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

Lucky us, because this year is a Leap Yeap and 29 days in February, we get an extra challenge this month. I can't believe tomorrow is March already. Where does the time go?? And why must it go by so fast??

This week on the Krafty Chicks Challenge blog, it's Anything Goes week. One of the easiest challenges because you can have any theme you like. It can be a card, (fancy fold even), a treat package, home decor, or a scrapbook page. Literally Anything Goes!

Here's my project, well actually there's two cards today:

 When I cut the first DSP (Designer Series Paper) for my front panel, I couldn't use the smaller flipped piece. It was the wrong angle. So I needed to cut a second front panel, this time making sure the heart pattern was facing up.

 If you want to try this layout, I made a light pencil mark on the DSP 1" from the bottom on the left side and 1.5" on the right. Then aligned the marks on my trimmer to cut. I orginally made these for Valentine's cards but now I'm thinking Anniversaries or Love You themes would work too.

 Here's a close up of my focal element. I die cut various sprigs and leaves from the Timeless Arrangements Dies in coordinating colours.

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple with just a little DSP and a coordinating stamped image. 

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for All Occasions week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.
