F4A80 - Crossing Strips - 09/02/11

F4A80 � Crossing Strips � � 09/02/11

I have been trying-trying-trying in the past month or so to pull myself out of the same-ol�/same-ol� rut ... y�know what I�m talkin� about?? When ALL your cards start lookin� like the SAME OL� thing??? I�ve been really trying to stretch my layout muscles so that I do something DIFFERENT (well, at least different for ME!!).

One of my new favorite things to do is to lay with strips of paper .... I love the effect you get when you criss-cross different patterns/textures to enhance your background.

Soooooo...... with that said, your challenge is simple ... cut out some paper strips and cross �em up!!! (Better yet??? Use up some of your strip SCRAPS!!! I KNOW you have �em!!)

My sample will hopefully help you make sense of my jabbering description above:

Wendy, what a neat challenge. I reread your challenge twice to be sure I wasn't cheating. I really only crossed 2 strips and layered another. I usually combine the F4A challenge with the QFTD one(I only have so much time to devote to card-making and ensuing comment-leaving). Thanks for hosting the challenge today.

I had fun doing this. I almost called it 'Stripped Skaters', but that might have been a bit too suggestive, so it's Striped Skaters.
