it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Shape Up!" coz, quite frankly, I'm really disappointed in all......just kidding, of course!! I'm saying, "Shape Up!" because I want to see projects that aren't squares or rectangles. Any shape other than those two would be in. Geometric shapes like circles, stars or triangles are perfectly acceptable. Or, you could make something in the shape of an actual something.....like this.....
It's bear shaped! No rectangles or squares here! If you tried to call my lil bear friend a square, I'd fight you. (; This is a digi from Le Petite Market which I printed out at approx. 5" tall, fussy cut and paper pieced. Then I just cut a folded piece of kraft cardstock around him to make a base. When I got him all done he looked a little plain (and I felt like I hadn't put in enough effort) so I fashioned him a pair of glasses from some light gauge wire. And, that took twice as long as the rest of the card seeing as I was trying my darndest to make both sides even. As you can see, I eventually gave up. I like to think his vision is a little poorer in his right eye and he needs a larger "lens" on that side. Coz that's definitely how glasses work in Bearland.
Why don't you give our challenge a go this week and head on over to Little Red Wagon and link up? And, while you're there, be sure to check out the fabulous projects the other Girlfriends have created.

What a great shape for a card. Love the glasses - I sometimes think mine need to be bigger on one side too! Thank you for joining in the Furry and Feathery Friends Challenge at Path of Positivity.
