turquoise & green

Happy that I got my self organized enough to do another Color Hues Challenge.  This time it's a combo that I love - turquoise and green.  I got out some Tim Holtz dies and went super CAS for this one (the gem in the right corner is green - it's hard to see). The Abstract Element dies are so fun to play with. The design team over there knocked it out of the park too - love all of their creations!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!

Happy Thursday crafty friends! Hope you are doing well.  I have to admit I have not the been the most cheerful person lately with the state of the world... but I am making time to be kind to myself and keep busy with fun things.  Including being crafty of course :).

Barbara came up with our Seize the Birthday challenge this week - stitching.  I happily used my sewing machine to add a stitched border to the card. Last year I was able to reorganize my craft room so my sewing machine can stay set up all the time (which was also handy when I was sewing masks - lol) - so I love any excuse to use it. Kept this card CAS with some bright colours - quite like how this turned out.

Be sure to pop on over to the blog to check out the stunning creations from the design team and our Surprise Party Guest, Jenny.

Hope you have a terrific day and a wonderful weekend!

Thanks for stopping by,

off the edge

I haven't played along with a challenge "just for fun" for ages. Thought I would get back into the swing of things by playing along with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge CFC169 "Off the Edge".  Stayed pretty CAS with this, used some stamps from CAS-ual Fridays and went with my favourite technique of late - watercolour (are you surprised?) and it's a little smaller than usual.  Hope you like it.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope your week is going well.

Gettin' Inky at CAS-ual Fridays - Day 1

It's a new week and I have some great news! I was thrilled when Michele Gross at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps asked me to guest design for her this month!  I've had so much fun playing with the stamps and I hope you like what I came up with.  Here are the sneak peaks... you can see the cards over at the CAS-ual Fridays blog.  Today's stamp set is called Beanstalks.  Love the leafy images and fabulous sentiments in this set!

{Your eyes don't deceive you, there is a bit of glitter in those leaves!}

A big thanks to Michele for asking me!  She is so sweet... I was lucky enough to meet her at CHA last month.   The other cool thing?  My friend and CHA roomie Michelle Woerner is playing along too!

Have a great week and be sure to stop by again tomorrow for more sneaks!  I haven't done supply lists for these cards but if you have any questions about what I used, please leave me a comment.
