I have a confession to make. I struggle a lot with my own imperfections. Especially when it comes to crafting. Do any of you feel that way sometimes? I look at projects on Pinterest or in magazines and the work there is always so beautiful. I never, ever feel like anything I make measures up.
I think in some ways, that's a side effect of the world we live in today. For example, if you look at the top five posters on your Facebook page, you'll see them sharing about all the wonderful things going on in their lives. Rarely do you hear about the mundane.
And so, starting today, my goal is to embrace those imperfections. I want to share my work. The good and the not so good. The projects I'm proud of - and maybe those that I don't like quite as much. Because in every crafting journey, I realize I'm learning something along the way.
This is one of those times. I can't say I love this project. In fact, if I'm being honest, I'm not even sure I LIKE this card. I've attempted several times and I can't quite seem to do justice to this adorable stamped image. But I tried. And I hope in my attempt, you see something that inspires you in some way. :)
First attempt:

**My thoughts: If I had it to do over, I would simply add the twine and sentiment to my first attempt. For the first card, I inked one side of my embossing folder, but I did not run it through my machine. The second card I actually embossed the cardstock with the ink on it.
Same supplies but two different looks.
Happy Monday!
