Just for Fun!

Hi All

I haven't made a card 'just for fun' for a while but did have 2 card ideas in my head all week and finally got down this morning and made them.

The snowflakes are Stunning Snowflakes from Uniko and the sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays

I just loved the colours at Color Throwdown and knew I wanted to make a Christmas card-I like to try out a few one layer Christmas card designs through the year so when it comes nearer to Christmas I have some designs that I can make around 10 of...cheaper international postage! After seeing a few more challenges that inspired me, the card came together.

While I had these inks out I made another card that I hope to get around to sharing with you later.

I will enter this into:

Less is More-more but still CAS-use lots of little images but still keep CAS

CAS(E) This Sketch-this is what inspired my lay out

AAA Cards-one corner and option of older stash-I have had both these stamp sets for years

Color Throwdown-this is where it all started!

Hope to show you card 2 this weekend too!

Have a good weekend x

      

CASology #342

Hi All

Time for a new challenge at CASology and we have a fun cue word for you today that can be interpreted in so many ways!

Here is the way I went:

And here is our cue word:

I went with 'High Heels'....they make us all a little taller and who doesn't love a pair of high heels. I have so many in my wardrobe-not often worn but when I do, I just love them!

This stamp set is from The Ton Stamps given to me by my lovely cousin Lynn, who knows I have a weakness for shoes and when we get to meet, shoe shopping we go!

Our sponsors for this challenge are STAMPlorations

Love is in the Air!

Hi All

This card idea has been in my head since I saw the 'less' challenge at Less is More Challenge last week.

It took a few more challenges to help me finish this 'tiny' idea....although my CAS cards look so quick to make, they can take days and sometimes weeks of muling somewhere in my head, before the exact idea comes together!

Here it is:

Yep, I sure went CAS!

A tiny sentiment from STAMPlorations and a little red heart coloured in copics-I actually wasn't going to add this until I saw the photo at The Card Concept-loved the red and black and all those pretty string of hearts. I added the strip of red to balance out the heart-just like in Paper Players

I think that is my last heart card for a while....I am loved out!!

Have a fun day.

entering:

The Card Concept-CAS design!

Less is More-Less

AAA-use up to one third and option hearts

Paper Players-Love is in the Air!
