Welcome to this week’s Hump day Card Challenge. Barry and I have a fun challenge in store for you!

Here is how the challenge works-
1) If you want to participate, send a note to both Barry and me separately.
You can PM us or send via email:
Kathy- asperkathy@charter.net and Barry- barrys@vulcan.com
Please note, we might not be able to respond during the day. But will for sure get to you in the evenings!

2) Each of us will send you an item or idea that you will then include on a card. For instance, Barry may respond with “Make a card using a butterfly”, I may respond with “Make a card with a circle die or punch”. However, Barry and I won’t know what the other person tells you. So your creation will be a wonderful surprise for us, too! (Kind of like Laurel and Hardy. Their routines appeared to build upon each other, and their creative humor and antics were always a delight!)

3) You will then create the card using these two ideas. When you upload your creation, include the suggestions provided. For instance, “Barry instructed me to use a butterfly and Kathy required using a circle die or punch.”

Isn’t this a fun and different idea? We hope you all get a chance to play along. We are waiting patiently for your emails. (And feel free to send any questions our way, too!)

Here are the sample cards that Barry and I created using the parameters of “Make a card 1) using a butterfly and 2) which includes circles.”

Kathy had me use pastel colors (a major challenge for me) and Barry told me to use a decorative border punch. The embellishments came from Jane as a prize. Thanks again, Jane! Kathy, this is as pastel as I get-hope it's OK. Thanks to Laurel and Hardy for a fun challenge. It was great to be creating again. I missed you guys.
