Crafting Just For Fun

Everyone in my household has either been gone or busy this weekend, which gave me a chance to play around in my craft room.  I got to make cards for some of my favorite challenges, which I have ignored for the last two weeks as I got caught up in the Papertrey 6th Anniversary festivities.  

First up are three cards for this week's CAS-ual Friday's challenge CFC90:  Black & White Plus 1.

This next card is also for Dynamic Duos DD#40, and I used PTI Hawaiian Shores in place of Tempting Turquoise, and skipped the dessert option of clouds.  I had completely forgotten that I bought Friends Till the End and the dies off the PTI Forum, and I took it out today to play a bit.  Those dies make creating masks for those detailed flowers so easy.

And, finally my third card adds CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#15 to the list of challenges.  This particular card was inspired by Lisa's cards here.   She reminded me of the technique we learned in our Clean & Simple Card Making class about how to curve a sentiment around a circle, and she even showed me a perfect sentiment for that technique.

I have one more card for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#15.  This card is also for this week's ColourQ cQc176.

I stamped the sentiment on a strip of vellum, and then adhered it inside the cut out circle, so it would run over the top of the stamped image.

I am entering my next card into this week's Simon Says Stamps challenge, which is White on White, and to use a Cuttlebug folder if possible.

Last, but not least--I saw that Kim had cased Renee's card from yesterday.  That sounded like fun to me, so I cased both of them.

Well, that's it for me today.  I think I'm going to close up the craft room for the evening, and wait for my daughter to get home from her school trip.
