Crafty Cardmakers DT- Move Away From Square

PYup, you read correctly. No square cards allowed. No rectangle cards allowed.

We wanna see shapes. Circle shapes, shapes with 3 or 5 or more sides, scallop shapes, buildings, skyscrapers, purses, suitcases or trams...

To get those creative juices flowing, head on over to Crafty Cardmakers challenge blog & feast your eyes on what the DT has created .

Moving away from Square is sometimes scary for me....but when I realized I had a whole whack of die cuts from Sassy Susie's Die Cut Dreams Store , I realized I would have no problem at all. I made a birthday card along the lines of 'The Little Mermaid' book. Do u get that feel? Images are from Some Odd Girl & after seeing my blogger g-friend Trisha use one of these on a card, I knew I just had to have them. All the stuff on the inside of the 'book' are stamped with CTMH & SU stamp sets. I sponged, I colored with markers & watercolor pencils, I glittered, I charmed things up & added my never-ending stash o' bling!!!
