# 49 - It's All About The Bass!

We are a group of great friends from all over the place, who wanted to start a stress-free challenge site. This will be a weekly challenge, and there will always be something here for you to see or try. Individually, as designers, we may not all be here every week because we are busy just like you!! So 'take the plunge' when you can or stop by to be inspired, even if you don't have time to "play".  Make sure you don't miss a week of inspiration by subscribing to our site on the right!

Are you familiar with the Meghan Trainor song "It's All About the Bass"?  In the song she talks about not worrying about the size.  Well this is true for cards too!  The "base" of the card is the important part of the card.  This week we want you to create a card where the "base" is the key part of the card.  That could mean you emboss the base, stamp the base, whatever you think would make your "base" the key part of your card.  We look forward to seeing what you will create!  No treble!

In the meantime, here is some inspiration from our design team:

All across the United States September is a time for County and State Fairs. Even The Boss (Bruce Springsteen for you young'uns) sang about it!  The 4H kids spend time showing off the animals they have raised during the year.  The ferris wheel is spinning, and the smell of funnel cake is thick in the air.  This week take some time to create a card with a county fair theme.  This could be an animal stamp used on the card or animal print paper, blue ribbons, or good ole' fashin' apple pie... ~ lots of options.  We look forward to seeing what you will create!

 Christmas is only about 100 days away.  Have you started thinking about your cards yet?  This week take some time and design a Christmas card you would like to receive. And if you live in the Midwest, where it is roasting this week, try to think "snow"!!  
 
We look forward to seeing what you will create!

The kids have gone back to school.  Let's show our support of the teacher's by creating a card using the primary colors - red, yellow, and blue.  It can be a school theme or not, your choice!  We look forward to seeing what you will create!
