I Might be Challenge Challenged. - Mojo Monday

Confession: I have been creating cards since 1995 and have never joined a blog card challenge other than Splitcoaststampers. It's been on my bucket list for a long time, so I think I'll just be brave and jump right in.

I love the Mojo Monday challenges because they post a fun new sketch each Monday and then I have a whole week to get my creative juices flowing.  It seems very non threatening and doable, don't you think?  

Here's this week's Mojo Monday sketch.

                     

And here's my card:

                     

... not something I would normally come up with because I'm not used to creating with  a "map."  In fact, I found it a little challenging (pun intended) and I'm not completely happy with the results. I'm planning to improve with practice and I think I might learn something by encouraging myself to think outside the box.  Different ways of thinking are good, right?  New brain synapses and all.  I hope I don't blow up the internet trying to post my link in the blog. Anyone have some good suggestions on some fun  blog challenges?  What are your faves?

Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and be fabulous.
