Questions
Just a few questions I have for you, what do you prefer to make...Cards or Layouts? Do you find it tricky to make a Layout and then get your head back into card-making? Or do you make mainly cards and then find it hard to get back into making a Layout? Do you find you need a different head-space for the different sized projects? I'm just curious to ask. I find I struggle going from layouts to cards and back again. I haven't found a way to do the same techniques on both yet...but I'm working on it...I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below xx
