Wish you were here

I did a challenge. Hooray!

The CAS-ual Friday challenge this week is to use stickers-- or rub ons if you don't have stickers.  I have no stickers so I pulled out a rub-on from the Margarita line by American Crafts and built a card around it.  I won the Margarita line from the American Crafts blog--they are a very generous company. My girls and I were digging in the box like fiends when it arrived.

I cut the postage stamp looking frame with my Silhouette machine--love that machine!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend!

CAS-ual Friday challenge 15

I am cursed with a weak immune system and have been out of commission this past week with a rotten illness.  We had a massive super summer sleepover at my house (I'll have pics up tomorrow) and I got sick shortly thereafter. Ugh.

Anyway, I saw the CAS-ual Friday challenge this week is a sketch and since I love sketches, here's my super CAS card using the cute Hello, Beautiful stamp set from Sweet Stamp Shop.

Thanks for stopping by! Oh, I have some wonderful stamps that need a new home.  I have too many stamps and not enough time.  Check them out on my stamps for sale page.

Supplies not mentioned: Pattern paper is American Crafts, Rose Bud ink by Memento, Twine is from The Twinery, cardstock is Papertrey Ink.

Temping with the Girl Fridays!

I am over the moon excited to be temping today over on the CAS-ual Friday blog.  The challenge this week is to put a CAS spin on shaped cards.  The sponsor this week is the fabulous Paper Smooches and I used the Flower Pot shaped card for my project today.

When thinking about what I was going to make with this shaped card, I kept coming back to Tole Painting and decided to do a simple, little folky scene with the FOLK-al Points stamp set. 

  

Check out all the details here and you'll be amazed at what the design team made this week.  I hope you'll give this challenge a try! 

You Rock

I made this 3x3 grungy man card for today's CAS-ual Friday challenge.  This is a nice size card to slip into your man's  (or son) suitcase, briefcase or just leave on his dashboard so he has a nice surprise when he gets in the car to go to work.

Sentiment is from Paper Smooches (Sentiment Sampler) and all the rest are from Wplus9 (So 80's).

Colorful hello



What is up with blogger and blurry pics?! My pic was clear until I put it in my blog post.



I made this card for 2 challenges, The Play Date Cafe and CAS-ual Friday.  I love the colors and thought the 2 challenges went perfectly together for me.  The sentiment is from the Word Up set from Paper Smooches. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!

CFC #6

I've been super busy lately and my google reader is overflowing, but I will sit down soon with a latte and visit all my neglected friends. 

I managed to make a card this afternoon for the CAS-ual Friday challenge and chose to use the bottom row of buttons, flowers & twine on the tic tac toe board.

Stamps: Delicate Blossoms (Hero Arts), Sentiment Sampler (Paper Smooches)

Pattern Paper: Playground collection (Echo Park)

Ink: SU! Apricot Appeal, Memento Tuxedo Black

Acccessories: Yellow twine (?), buttons from Papertrey Ink

Old School Cool

Today is the start of the new CAS-ual Fridays challenge blog and it's all about text!

This challenge was just what I needed to pull out a cool stamp set I have never used from Heidi Grace/Cloud 9 Design.   My card was inspired by this card I found on Etsy.

I created the shaped text in Photoshop Elements and printed it out.  I  then stamped my typewriter image in red pigment ink, added a bit of twine, rounded some corners and my CAS card is complete and didn't take long to make.

Have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend!
