Create outside of your comfort zone

I have had a lovely weekend and I got A LOT of scrappin' done. I have always been a 12x12 scrap-artist (occasionally dabbling in the 6x12 world) but never thought that a 3 1/2 by 2 1/2 canvas would be enough space. But it was! I love ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and had oodles of fun creating a few this weekend. I ordered my 7 Gypsies card holder and cards on Monday and they arrived on Friday just in time for me to PLAY. So...check out my layouts and ATCs. I think the big lesson for me is that I do not need a lot of space to express myself creatively. I would challenge all of you to take a chance and create something that is a little outside of your comfort zone. You just might be pleasantly surprised.

Love your layouts and the ATCs are Very cool!!
I think by branching out and trying different size creations gives you room to explore and keeps motivating you to create. Love what you did!

Wowzers...just looking at your new creations makes me want to scrap. Love that you went outside the box with your 7 gypsies cards. They look fantastic.
