CASology Week 166: Science

If you are looking for my ColourQ post, please click here.

Hello and happy Tuesday.  It's time for another challenge at CASology.  Our cue word this week is SCIENCE.  I remember enjoying chemistry when I was in school, and chemistry has also been my daughters' favorite science course.  So, I used a little chemistry and pretended to mix yellow and blue to get green in my beakers.

Now, it's your turn.  How are you inspired by SCIENCE?  I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

I am also linking up at Simon Says Wednesday:  No designer paper and City Crafter #281 Geek Chic (Thanks, Marina).

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

We are sponsored this week by Melon Door Lighthouse.

PTI 7th Anniversary--Monthly Moments Trading Card Challenge

When I woke up this morning, I had no idea what a Trading Card was.  After reading about the Monthly Moments Trading Card Challenge and all the new PTI products, I thought I'd make a card and then get on with my day.  Well, one thing led to another, I kept pulling stamp sets out--some that hadn't seen ink in a long time, and before I knew it, I had an enormous mess on my hands and a big stack of Trading Cards.  These little cards are so much fun to make.  I had a very crafty day, and now I have a big mess to clean up.

Warning--lots of pictures:

Kim and I did a bit of Facebook chatting while we were crafting today, and I credit her for the inspiration for these final three.

Lastly, I have a card for this week's Make it Monday #151, using the sketch and color scheme from the Anniversary Recipe challenge.  I used Washi tape for Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz, and Summer Sunrise, and skipped the Scarlet Jewel.  Instead of stamping the lower layer of the banner, I used coordinating washi tape and die cut paper covered with tape.

That's it for me today.  I have a huge mess on my desk that I need to clean up before I start playing again.  I know there were a lot of photos today.  Thanks for sticking with me till the end.

Make it Monday #98 and ColourQ #170

I had the house all to myself this morning, and finally got a chance to play along with this week's Make it Monday #98:  Chalkboard Technique.

And one more card, based on a card I saw on the Simon Says Stamp blog this morning.  It's a bit hard to see in this photo, but I colored the embossed banner flags with colored pencils, to try to make it look like colored chalk.  I have to admit that I'm not sure I'm in love with this card.  I know that the chalkboard technique is supposed to be kind of messy, but I think this one may be just too messy for my taste.

This week's ColourQ #170 is a fun one.  I picked N@'s favorite color scheme, which was from ColourQ#163.

I broke out my new Love Potion stamps to make a birthday card for a friend who works in a lab.  I'm sure that this is the wrong kind of lab equipment, but what can I say--I was a Econ major.

That's it for me today.  I think that everyone will be home very soon, and I am hoping to get this posted before chaos returns.
