For Your Inspiration Challenge #9

Hi Everyone - hope you are all having a great week. We are falling into our summer routine and I'm at the point now where I don't even remember the old routine. I'm starting to see ads for backpacks and lunch boxes and when I was in Target the other day, I couldn't help but notice they were clearing out the summer fun aisles and replacing them with the back-to-school aisles. Before you know it - those aisles will be the Halloween aisles.....then Christm....gasp! Oh, it's all going too fast for me!


It's first Thursday of the month so that means Steph has a new challenge photo for us at FYI. Here's the card I made for this challenge:
 This one turned out to be very masculine. I used my Big Shot to cut the circle border then wove 2 strips of the same patterned paper through the holes.
materials: cardstock: Bazzill; patterned paper: Basic Grey; sticker: SRM; jute: Close To My Heart; die cutter: Big Shot; die: Quickcutz

You can see the inspiration photo here, at the FYI blog, and also see the work of the design team - who never fail to inspire me. When I look at these challenge photos I like to see the color and the shapes, as opposed to the actual imagery. Have a look and tell me what you see!

Great card! I love the idea of weaving the strips between the circles. The stitching is a great touch.
