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.

LIM - Thank You

I am just getting this in under the wire. I have been wanting to go back and play with the divas at Less Is More. I have missed the last two weeks and I didn't want to miss a third.

This week their challenge is buttons or bows or  both. I used both. Putting bows on my work is one my my favorite embelishments. I was at Michael's with a friend and they had these fabulous ribbons on sale for half off and I just couldn't resist this beautiful pink gingham ribbon. I should have bought all the spools, but alas I only bought one. Guess I'll have to go back.

I needed to send a thank you card off to a friend and I think CAS card I think will be perfect. I hope you think so too!

Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!
