It is time for another CAS-tastic Wed challenge! This week there is a fabulous sketch to be used and a yummy prize up for grabs from Sassy Studios.

I still love these fun Pink Martini papers so I used up a few more scraps. The ribbon is actually the exact same shade of green and yellow but it sure doesn't look like it here...

supplies: Pink Martini pp, Resolutions cs, PMS digi sentiment, Making Memories ink, Recollections pearls, ribbon

Be sure to come by and play along with us at CAS-tastic, and to see what the rest of the team did!

It also works for...Kah-wink-e-dink (free for all), Paper Cutz (use circles, squares), Fresh Brewed (anything goes), Simon Says (friends), Really Reasonable Ribbon (use ribbon as border)

CAS-tastic Wedensday

It is time for another challenge at CAS-tastic Wed. Yeah!! I always love clean and simple cards! This week is to make a one layer card! I hadn't really thought about it that much before but I tend to always layer even on my CAS cards!

I decided to make a set of 4x4 cards. One of the houses next to us has just sold so I will be adding these to a little goodie basket to give to the new owners when they move in.

I plan to just tie a pretty bow around the cards, add some cookies, and maybe a plant or something to the basket.

I used the same stamp set on all of the cards. 3 have sentiments, 3 don't. I figured this way they could be used for anything. I embossed everything with black and added a black gem on the eyes, a little faux stitiching and thats it!

supplies: unknown cs, Studio G rubber stamp, Stampendous embossing powder, Q&Co gems, sharpie
We have a fabulous sponsor, Busy Beauties, this week. Be sure to check out the Busy Beauties site! They have some adorable images! The design team got some to use. Since I had my cards already done, I have also made a card with the Busy Beauties image too!

I added a little stickles to the bubbles. On the inside I added the same duck just alot smaller and another rubon from the same set that I used on the front.
supplies: Recollections cs, Paperbilities rubons, Busy Beauties Boutique digi image, ribbon, prisma pencils, stickles

it also works for KL Stampin (animals), Cute Card Thur (someone special), Bee Crafty (something new), Crafty Cardmakers (inside out), The Crazy Challenge (something new)

Come on over and play along with us at CAS-tastic!!!

CAS-tastic Wedensday

It is time for another challenge at CAS-tastic! We are half way through the week already. Where is it going?
This week the challenge is to go round and round! Just use circles some how on a clean and simle card!

This card was super fast to make because it is just front and back from one sheet of paper, plus a few other circles that I already had cut from a previous project. I love the purple metallic of the solid side!

supplies: Recollections cs, GCD Stuidos pp, Making Memories brad, Thats Jazzy Stamp Dreams stamp, sharpie, stazon ink, CM circle cutter

Come on over to CAS-tastic and play along with us. What are you waiting for???? LOL!

it also works for Papertake Weekly (shiny, sparkly and special)

Today is the first official challenge at CAS-tastic Wednesday! I am so excited to be a part of this fun team! I love layers and lots of embellies as much as the next person but sometimes you just want fast, clean and simple! Thats what we are about at CAS-tastic, clean and simple! We hope you will join us!

The challenge this week is birthdays! Our sponsor Wild Flower Patch, offered the design team images to use. I chose the birthday sentiments. I wanted my sentiment directly on my paper so instead of trying to get it lined up where I wanted it to be printed at, I turned it into a rubon. Easier for me I get really iritated with my print program..lol.

It is easy to turn a digi image into a rubon. Just make sure you use the mirror image setting if it has wording and print on the shinny side of a transparency. Once it is printed just rub. It takes a little more pressure but it works!

supplies: Recollections cs, Inique Boutique pp, Paper Salon ribbon, Wild Flower Patch digi stamp, button, embrodery floss

We hope you will play along with us this week. Be sure to stop by the CAS-tastic blog to see what my fellow team mates did!

SMC easel card

So I decided to play for a bit in my scraproom today since I haven't had a chance this week. I have been busy cleaning/organizing/donating stuff that is upstairs. We don't use it except for the playroom and my scraproom. So it tends to get messy! My friend and her kids will be coming from MS in about a month and I needed to do some massive organizing up there! Of course I got the bug to rearrange my scraproom today also. It will be a few days before I get to create again...lol.
I used Girl feeding Jaden from Sew Many Cards on this one. It was my first attempt at making an easel card and I have to say I LOVE them! I don't know why I haven't done one before..lol. It was easy!
I like how subtle all the shades of pink are. It is hard to tell but even Jaden is light pink! You don't see me useing so much pink very often!

supplies: BoBunny pp, Prima flowers, Q&Co brad, Sew Many Cards digi image, My Sentiments Exactly alpha stamps, Reflections cs, Martha Stewart punches, ric rac, Making Memories ink
