I pulled out my new hexagon dies and had some fun putting them together to create a birthday card for a friend of ours. The sentiment is Hero Arts, from their Good Friends clear set.
With the hexagons repeating across the card, I thought I'd give it a go and enter it into the Moxie Fab World's Card Design Handbook Week: Repetition Challenge. If you haven't picked up this issue yet, I highly recommend it! So many fab cards and wonderful tips and lessons for cardmakers like me who struggle with designing a card. I seriously think it's their BEST EVER issue! I was especially inspired by Kimberly Crawford's card on page 60.
That's it for me tonight. I have one more day of work then I'm off for 9 days! Another "stay at home vacation" - just love those! Hope you all have a fun weekend! :)
