Homework Catch Up


I've fallen a little behind on my homework for Clean and Simple Card Making 2.
Here are a couple of cards that I made for Day 8.


Guest designer Laura Bassen shared her tips to create a successful
plaid background. Don't look too hard at mine.
It's "faux" plaid as I may have goofed up the color pattern along the way.


After I trimmed off the piece, I kinda sorta liked the part that I was going to throw away.
And I thought of the perfect stamp set and made a second card.
Granted it's a little weird, but I was being resourceful.
And you can still see part of the plaid pattern.

You can still register for Clean and Simple Card Making 2 or any of the other
