Motivation Monday - 9/6/21 - Happy Labor Day!

Today's Motivation Monday was designed to have you thinking outside of the box when using our Designer Series Papers (DSP).  When I was designing this project I realized that I didn't have any current DSP that would be typical patterns for a patriotic card.  I was looking for red & white stripes, blue with white stars, etc.  I decided this was the perfect opportunity to create a card that would give the "feel" of what I had in mind, but using patterns totally out of the norm.  I think this card turned out even better than I planned.  I hope you like it as well.  To see how this card is put together click here.  Don't forget to scroll down for additional design ideas.  Enjoy!
