My First Challenge

In an effort to further hone my crafting skills, I am am going to do my first craft challenge. One of my newest crafts is card making. Thus far I have been making somewhat mediocre cards with my limited supplies and knowledge. That was until I started taking classes and got the BIG SHOT. For those of you unfamilar with the Big Shot, it is a die cutting machine perfect for all your card making and scrapbooking needs. Mine is also pink and black and super cute!

Now that I have the tools, it's time to work on the skills. I am going to start with the challenge from Everything But The Kitchen Sink. Every month, EBTKS does 2 challenges: a sketch challenge and a household item challenge. They give you the sketch or household item to inspire you and you get crafting.

My friend Alison and I are going to give it a go together for moral support. I know this doesn't seem very scary but if you saw some of the cards these women came up with, you'd be scared too! I'll post my card when done. Anyone is welcome to join the challenge so c'mon everyone - let's get card making! This means you too, Tiffany! Maybe you can add some of your photography to a card. Here's wishing all of us luck on the card challenge!!!
