Hi Friends! I hope you're having a great day! I've been really busy creating lots of beautiful projects that you'll be seeing in the coming days. I remember when I first started blogging - I was fascinated with a few of the blogs that had something new absolutely every single day of the week. I thought that would be something I would like to try someday - and as a sort of "personal goal" last year I challenged myself to make a card every day. I quickly found that I just couldn't do it. Some days I'm feeling creative and I will make 4-5 cards in one single day... but other days.. not so much. Creativity is more of a mood for me, and I never know what a card will look like until I decide it's "finished".
The challenge that begins today at Fusion is called "Bow Tie". You can make something inspired by the photo - bow ties, different prints, colors etc... or you can choose to use the sketch. If you're clever maybe you can mix them both together. I'm usually inspired by the photo but today I went with the sketch. I turned the stars into different shapes - squares, and semi circles. I started with a vision of 6 squares and it morphed into this. I had lots of fun adding little embellishments like the buttons, twine, and die cuts. This one reminds me of summer - and everything I miss about being out side this time of year. 
I adhered the frames with adhesive foam tape to add a little depth and slipped some buttons inside the frames.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you make! Want to see what the rest of the team did? Just click on their names to jump to their blogs!
Have a beautiful day -stay warm, and make your own sunshine!
