Remember when...

Our challenge starting today at http://ooh-la-la-creationschallenges.blogspot.com/ is to be creative using the theme of 'Remember when'.

I wanted to create something using the section of Wendi's CD called 'Quick Cards' partly because there are some really gorgeous virtually ready made cards in there and partly because I knew the challenge on http://www.daringcardmakers.blogspot.com/ was to create a quick card. I am not a fast card maker at all and when I saw the instructions on Daring Card Makers to make a card in 30 minutes I knew I would really struggle.

However, I did it (well I did if you don't count having to go out and buy a new printer cartridge because your printer thinks purple is the new black!). My card was completed in 25 minutes including putting the kettle on for a cuppa to celebrate.

I could have printed the complete picture out and attached it to a card without adding anything at all, but I really felt that I wanted to do a little bit to personalise the card in the time allowed. I decided to print the central image out again so that it could be matt and layered on to black and attached to the card using foam pads to make it stand out a little. Then I added 3 small square brads to bottom right corner to add depth and a black peel off 'Just to say...' to finish the card.
