Life is Like Riding a Bicycle... Week 2 of Anything But a Card Challenges No. 31

Good Afternoon Everyone! My sincerest apologies for the delay in posting. This weekend is the annual Craft and Hobby Association's {CHA} Winter Convention in Anaheim, CA - and I have been in a whirlwind of creative inspiration, projects and demonstrating in the Amazing Crafting Products Booth. It is truly amazing and it's quite a challenge to find BALANCE of any sort at this type of event that merges work, networking and play all in one... and with so many creatives in one place - the internet is very sluggish due to demand.

Without further delay... Welcome to week 2 of our current challenge No. 31... BALANCE. CLICK HERE to jump over to the challenge intro and where to LINK UP your creations.

The current Challenge... Anything But a Card Challenge #31 - Balance! With the new year - everyone begins a fresh start – with the new beginning comes choosing resolutions and goals for the year ahead. So for this challenge we present this image for your inspiration for BALANCE.

You can use the image as inspiration - or share something that inspires you when you think of the word "BALANCE". We all juggle family, home and work in our daily lives which could be a source of inspiration of how you find balance. The imagery that the varied deifinitions of the word balance brings to mind... could set your muse off and running, too! This is just a sampling from the definition found on google... and there are many more {not including verbs}. CLICK HERE to see the entire list. Stretch your mind and think out of the box for this challenge – even our designers were a little bit; but found it refreshing to create from a new perspective. We look forward to seeing how your minds eye perceives balance.

Please share any current project you have created and JUST REMEMBER... create anything EXCEPT a card for this challenge. Please mention and LINK BACK to this challenge. ALSO - Please new projects only {no-backlinking}. :)

**A REMINDER** This Challenge will go through midnight January 25th giving you 2 more weeks to play along and ENJOY the creative process! We will share more of our Design Team's creations each Sunday to keep you inspired.
