Happily Ever Challenged #9 - The Big Easy

Well, can you believe that it's already August? I can't. I don't want to. Know why? I don't want to believe it's August because that means that my summer vacation comes to an end and perhaps it's a self-imposed denial!  ;)

I'm kidding. I'm thankful to God that I have a job in this economy and that He trusts me with the care of His children for ten months out of the year. Quite an honor and quite a responsibility!

So, seeing as this is the month of preparing for back to school, I would imagine that many of you are also going to spend much of this month preparing your children to get back to school.

So, what do you say we all keep this challenge, easy? Sound good?  :)

Okay...here's the HEC for August:

You are to create ANY project (card, scrapbook layout, box, etc....) but you MUST keep it simple! What does that mean?

It means that you may ONLY use stamps or pens to write or create images on it.

That's right. No additional layers (it must only be ONE layer, no more) and no buttons, ribbon, glitter, flowers, ric rac, bling, etc. JUST stamps or images and writing created by markers, colored pencils, etc.

Maybe easy, maybe not... depending on your style.  ;)

Here are the usual guidelines:

1. You will post it on your blog or gallery.

2. You will then need to copy the URL of the BLOG POST (not your blog, but the actual post where you're featuring the project).
3. Add the URL and your NAME to the INLINKS below. :)
4. In your blog post, please direct others to this post so that they may participate!
5. The deadline is Saturday, August 28 at around 3:00 PM PST.
6. I will choose a random number/winner then and post it.
7. The winner will have until Thursday, September 2 to email me at happilyevercrafter at gmail dot com. If I don't receive an email by then, I'll re-draw a number and so on.
8. Only one entry per person, please. :)

As always, the lucky winner will have the opportunity to get a *applause*

TEN DOLLAR GIFT CERTIFICATE TO PAPERTREY INK DOT COM!!

And you'll have a chance to place a shiny blinkie that declares to the entire world that you're a HEC winner! ;)

I can't wait to see your EASY creations! ;) 

Edited (July 30) - Oops! Forgot to add the Inlinkz! Thanks for the reminder, Gayatri!  :)

Fun challenge, I think one layer cards can be intimidating sometimes! But I've made a masculine card and actually kind of like it! Thanks for the opportunity to make a OLC!
