JELLO!

Evening Crafters - just a quick post. I started putting this card together last night and I became frustrated with the flourishes and just decided to go to bed. Well I think I finally found the flourishes that I wanted and I think it came out pretty cute!!

Although I don't like to combine challenges I am going to do that today. I want to enter the Less Is More challenge. I really do love their challenges, I just don't get to play as often as I would like. The second is CAS-u-Fridays and the last is The Technique Lover's Challenge.

Less is More - Week 29 - Theme: On the Move. Their challenge is to create a card that is on the move. There is a lot of interpretation here, so I used my new stamp set "Pair-A-Phrase" from Close To My Heart...I just love the bike in this set. It reminds me of my own bike which I call Jello! It's pink and green with flowers all over.

CAS-u-Fridays  Challenge is to use embossing.

Then we have The Technique Lover's Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers - "In CASE you forgot". The challenge here is to go to your favorites folder (which I didn't know existed until recently) and select the oldest card you have in the folder and CASE it. I happened to have one card in the folder. I just love it. Here is the link to the card I CASED by Ctorina.

Please forgive me for combining challenges. I really do like to make cards for each challenge, but with school back in session I want to be able to play along. Thanks for the fabulous challenges.

I appreciate you're stopping by. I hope you enjoy my card.

Daisies

This week over at CAS-ual Fridays their challenge is to make a 4x9 card! I've never made a card this big before. I have thought about this all week. Last night I had a dream about walking in a field of daisies. How could I resist making a card with daisies on it? Michele said that we have to embrace the white space and resist filling the entire card up.

I resisted and I love how this came out. Would love to make a slew of them, but at a more normal size!!

Thanks for stopping by. I just love all your comments. Have an awesome day!!

CAS-ual Fridays

I decided that creating CAS style cards is a lot of fun. Although, in my mind extremly difficult I decided that I want to create at least two a week. This week I decided to play along with CAS-ual Fridays. This week their challenge is sweet & treats!!

I turned to my favorite stamp company - There She Goes for my card. I just love this set - Freeze the Moment and had to use the sundae glasses. I cannot eat ice cream (lactose intolerant) so now I can color ice cream and just wish I could have a scoop or two of strawberry!! I love this DP it's from Close to My Heart and I couldn't tell you the name other than I have about 15 sheets of it and I don't know why?? But I thought it was just perfect.

Don't you just love the sentiment? Take it anyway you want...but my thought was boy do I wish I had a spoon to enjoy some cold creamy yummy ice cream.

Have a great day! Thanks for leaving me some love.
