SSNOTIME140***A LITTLE LEFT OF CENTER

Today's STAMP SIMPLY CHALLENGE is to make a card and put the focal image askew!! To the left or right of center. Up or down or all around just not perfectly in the middle.


WELL!! First of all I saw Debbie Olsen's post the other day and she made this great tote bag.

I had this bunch of material sitting on my craft table so I thought I would follow the tutorial that she linked to and I made one as well.
















Then I thought I would this card to go along with today's challenge... The gift card is made with the focal image, which is from Just Rite Stamps, off to the left of the card...

















The sentiment on the inside of the card is from Anna Wight's collection.


The gift is for a friend's birthday this summer.









Check out the link in Debbie Olsen's post HERE!!

The bag comes together easily and the instructions are quite clear.



Check out Sharon's site HERE for all the details and link up to Mr. Linky if you plan to play along!!

Also check out everyone's fab creations this weekend.
