Use Your Stuff Challenge #173 - Circles

Happy Monday, everyone! As I sit typing this we are waiting to see if we get our first real snow of the season. To date we have had nothing more than a dusting and secretly I would kind of like to see a little more than that. The forecast is all over the place, but for our area they are saying 5-7 inches. We shall see...

 I am back today with the new challenge over at Use Your Stuff.  It's Karrie's week to host the challenge and this week's challenge is to use circles on your project.


I love to add circles to my projects, so it was hard for me to decide if I wanted to make a layout or a card. Since I had some scraps left over from this layout and since I have several birthdays coming up, I decided to go with a card.

I based this card on this sketch from Try Stampin' On Tuesday.

 
 
I'm not sure if it will qualify for their challenge, since I didn't do any stamping on it and stamping is their name,  but I wanted to give them credit for giving me a starting point to my card.

I'm also linking this up over at Crash Your Stash to help me keep track of my 50 projects. (28/50)

Head on over to Use Your Stuff and see how the rest of the design team have used circles in their projects. I hope you find some time to play along this week!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a beautiful day!

    Love the card and how you incorporated the circles!! Enjoy the snow. I wanted a decent snowstorm and now we have had a few. There's so much snow out there. But it is pretty!!!

    Hi Lori, I think anytime you're inspired by something, you can certainly give it credit for your card. You have a circle focal point, just like our sketch this week. And I love this simple, understated "birthdayness" of the card. Thanks for joining us at Try Stampin' on Tuesday this week!

    This is just so fun with the circles and it has a lovely retro flavour.
