This card was so difficult to do. Its a swap that involves kids so I should have red flagged it right there. Not because I cant do cute, as we saw with Mowgli, but for t his theme I just had a shit difficult time finding something to do that wasnt already taken. My fault there waiting so long to pick what to do and I had my ideas I just didnt move fast enough in all areas. I also joined about 3/4 swaps and didnt pay good enough attention to how close the due dates were and I didnt want to drop any. I should have. I am not happy with my last two cards but they are good enough. This one is Summer Vacations. I wanted to do ghost hunting in Texas or Sasquatch but having a damn hard time finding kid friendly images. I just settled for this and quickly made it. Im taking a break from swaps this summer maybe even making LTC's until September or so. I just overloaded myself and need a break. I was looking forward to making some traditional boxes and carving for them and hiding them. I have hid two, only posted the clues for one so far. Those cards just burned me out and I ended up making an even bigger mistake by taking on a cookie job. More about that later. Anyway I just need to take a small break or at least slow down a bit and concentrate on few things I have wanted to do for a few months then get back to swaps. I want to host my own swap this Fall/Winter also. That will be fun I think.
So this card im not that happy with my carve and worse my letters, they are my first though. I need to get good at letters, Im scared of them. Haha. From now on I will just drop a swap if I feel too crazed. Its not worth it.
