CASology Week #179: Simple




This is my second post for today.  If you are looking for my ColourQ post,  please click here.

Happy New Year and welcome back.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  This week, our cue word is SIMPLE.  We are starting out the new year with a little reminder that our challenge is a Clean and Simple challenge.  What better way than to have SIMPLE as our cue word.



I needed a pet sympathy card the other day, and had none on hand.  So, I pulled out a few stamp sets and made enough to last me a very long time (forever, I hope).


Now, it's your turn.  How does SIMPLE inspire you?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from the design team.

We are sponsored this week by Cindy B. Designs.

Here are two more CAS pet sympathy cards, made during the same crafting session to add to my stash.



I am entering one of these cards at Less is More #257, where the challenge is neutral colors.

  1. Welcome back Joyce! I hope you had a wonderful holiday away! These are beautiful, sombre cards. I like the silhouetted images, and always feel them appropriate for sympathy cards. The embossed background is a lovely touch too.

  23. I still have the cards I received, many years ago, when I lost my furbaby, so I know that these cards of yours will be treasured. All three are touching, heart-warming, heart-melting. The wee red paw print..sighhhh...
