You know sometimes it takes a while before an a-ha moment happens, like years, before you realize that things could have been easier making cards "if only." My a-ha moment was that I could actually make up a bunch of backgrounds to have handy. Yep, I know it's a simple step, but wow it happened with this card.

I used the background I made a year ago in February from this MIX210: Glue Stick Resist challenge, but it happened to be the last Technique Junkies challenge!!!!! Double yeah! By the way, there is a new challenge out to make ATC's the NEW coin way!

So, if you're interested, here are the details of my card with safari attitude.
