hi everyone!  here with a challenge from The Sampler Kit Club, featuring this month’s kit: “Ready, Set, GO!”

it’s a very simple challenge, and there are so many different ways you could use your supplies from this kit to make a card for this challenge… and so many different designs you could take away from this simple photo!

such a cute card to begin with, but with all the krafty goodness in the kit, you could really take this idea 1,000 different directions.  here’s what i came up with to inspire you:

isn’t it TWEET?!  lol.  okay, i admit… that was pretty corny!  i just love this kit, though, it’s just awesome how everything works together so well!  i added a piece of plain kraft and a scrap of black cardstock, the twine, and the brads from my own stash.  our other card designers came up with some fantastic examples to share with you as well, stop by their blogs and check ‘em out!
