#36. All the SINGLE ladies... Single Layer Cards

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!

Um, no, you don't have to be single to play this week - many of the Lifeguards are married... but you DO have to make a card with just a single layer... I know, super challenging for many of us... nothing extra - just your card base...  what can you do with this... stamp, ink, emboss...anything but add more layers!  Here's what we did... now let's see what you can do!

It is that time again, that we pause in our busy lives to say, "We remember you, you will not be forgotten".  So many of our countrymen and women have served our nation in our endeavor to be safe and free, and now is the time that we salute their noble and ultimate sacrifices.  This week, we are asking that you show us your patriotic side...  we know many of you are joining us from other countries, and we are asking that you make some kind of creation in red, white, and blue this week.  Thank you for your service!

What would we do without our dear mothers?  Well, I for one just don't know. This week we would love for you to honor thy mother (or someone who is like a mother to you), in a great paper crafting project.  You can make a card or a 3-D project - we just wanna see what you can do!  

You can now post your pictures of your projects using your Instagram account too!  No more excuses about not having a blog!

We hope we can inspire you a bit with what we have done for you this week
