A PLACE TO START - JUNE 2025 - ANYTHING GOES w/Optional Twist: RECYCLE

 Hello, Crafty People!

It feels good to be back at my craft table! 
Welcome to another month of fun at 

A Place to Start!

In addition to your fabulous ATG projects this month, we would love to see projects that incorporate or feature UPCYCLED OR RECYCLED items. (For example: recycle embellishments that you pulled off a failed project.) Put your own spin on it and amaze us.  You always do!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - APTS JUNE 2025
ANYTHING GOES PROJECT

I recently realized that I spend too much time trying to create "unique" projects. I am returning to the basic cardmaking that has always brought me joy!

This simple, straightforward birthday card was created for my daughter.    She is a minimalist of the first water, so I am sure she will like it.


I created my focal point using a very simple floral die set. The sentiment is also from a very basic set. Both were promotional items from Amazon.  I have little faith in the tariff fiasco in D.C., so I am holding on to my pennies.  I do without if I can't find what I want in my Amazon box.  So far, I have been fortunate, and my crafting supply bins are well-stocked.  The Swiss Dot EF has been in my stash for years.  I decided to use the debossed side.  I liked the effect.
