Hump Day August 13th

Guess what day it is??!!!  Yep, that's right...it's HUMP day!
Today we have design team member Venetia...


Hi all- happy Wednesday! To help with your midweek slump, I decided to twist up the current SWAT challenge.
I am currently loving "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor, and decided to take my favorite line from the song and create a canvas. Keep your perfect eyes on the prize-- it's downhill to the weekend!

We hope you were inspired to join us for drill 37, musical inspiration!!  We can't wait to see what you create!!

Drill #37 - Musical Inspiration

Drill #37

Musical Inspiration

Do you listen to music while you create?  Are you inspired by it??   Our first drill for August is to create a project (layout, card, ATC, journal page, home decor, etc...) inspired by The Watermelon Crawl.

Take your inspiration from the title, the lyrics, how the song makes you fell, etc.
