Hi, everybody! I can’t believe August is here already! We’re kicking off a new Clean and Simple challenge today at Make it Crafty’s inspiration blog! Thanks to everyone who entered our July shaker card challenge! We had so many fabulous entries this month, and I can’t wait to see what everyone creates for this one!

Our new challenge has a “cropped image” theme, which basically means to enlarge one of the digital images and crop it (so you won’t be coloring the whole image).

I chose the Lou Gives digi stamp and the Happy Birthday digital sentiment for my card!

I love how this technique showcases the main image, and I can’t wait to make another one in this style! I’ll have a new card to share with you on the Make it Crafty inspiration blog on August 9th, and I’d love it if you stopped by to say hello!

For all of the details on this challenge, stop by the Make it Crafty blog and look for the challenge graphic on the right-hand side of the blog! Our challenge runs through the month of August, so there’s plenty of time to play along with us! We can’t wait to see your entries!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope your week is off to a great start!
