The Card Concept #41 {Autumn Neutrals}

Welcome to The Card Concept! Each week we offer up a challenge for you to try, and we hope that you will create a card in one of the styles we have offered here. The team is divided into the different styles and each designer explains how they were inspired by the challenge! So come and join us and try your hand at a brand new "style" of card making or work in your comfort zone, it is totally up to you!

Feel free to use any of the styles of our team or better yet, share you own style by combining one or more of the styles. We want you to have fun and make a card in a style that you feel good about!

The styles are explained HERE.

This month we are thrilled to have Diane Jaquay joining us as a Guest Designer in the Freestyle Collage category! We ask Diane to share a bit about herself!

Diane Jaquay

I live in Lancaster County, PA with my husband and 2 wonderful kids. My son is currently away at college, and I home school my daughter. When I'm not working with her, you'll most often find me creating! I love making cards, and occasionally mixed media canvases. In addition to crafting I love to read and travel. I'm so happy to be a guest this month at The Card Concept!
