What do I do when I get out of my element? I go to my old crutches: horizontal strips, and my Silhouette machine. :)
This first card is made with a mixture of the Sonoma County and Dear Diary kits. I used a small artisan label shape from another design in my Silhouette downloads to make the nested spot for the sentiment to layer on top of. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6xmUwleJjuJibBVjljSWlSZVPRZp4rBek8L7bo7rw-_Gikj2XYnrrcyT4_y8Nj7ZojV81F5oI6-bHIUIIaofjBh4c9jmTQLhL471um6E-YztInc5zgdrT2Ug1ZdzIOVQfM_oW9JxWUdq/s400/DSC_0022.JPG)

And for this card (made with the Very Virginia kit), I did horizontal strips again, but got a little wild and crazy with making one strip shorter and cutting a notch out of the side. On top of that I adhered a cute little birdie on a branch I cut out with my Silhouette machine, and then inked & roughly traced around.
That's my trick when I get out of my box- go to some old stand-bys that help me not feel too overwhelmed, and incorporate it into the challenge so that it still looks like "me." :)
