Card #2 with Take Care

Have you ever experienced the feeling of being on a rolling sea in a sailboat, either real or imagined? That's how I feel today and I'm wondering if you don't feel the same way when you look at my blog?  Seems I've been house-cleaning on the home page and moving things around on deck, so I'm surprised with what I see. Please bear with me as I'm trying to de-clutter my look, OK?

I also have the late-summer-nasty-cold/sinus crud going on. Feeling cross-eyed anyway from the pressure in my head doesn't help either, lol! 

But I digress. 

I have a card that's just perfect for the occasion. Can't wait to share it with you!

Before I do, I have a suggestion to help you if your mojo is in a slump. I love doing sketch challenges, and after I had made THIS card for the Mojo Monday sketch, I decided to make another card from the same sketch at the same sitting while the measurements were in my head. Believe me, the second one came together so quickly! 

I changed some things to make this one more simple with fresh colors and crisp, clean lines. Even though both cards are the same sketch, isn't it amazing how changing things up really makes two completely different styles? 

Two or more cards with the same layout is the theme of my Twice is Nice Category in the sidebar. 

Which of my cards do you like better? What elements help make this design more crisp? What's your style, elegant, shabby or cute and fun?

How about if you write the design tips for me today, and I'll get back to working on blog design? I'm chuckling and I'd love to chat with you in my comments section. No videos or phone chats today, I sound like a baritone.
