CASology Week #404...Ride

 

On a personal note, this will be my last challenge as a member of the Design Team at CASology.  I have been on the team since 2014, and I cannot believe how the time has flown by.  CASology was the first DT I was ever on, and I would like to say a big thank you to Melissa for taking a chance on me and welcoming me to her team.  I am grateful to my teammates at CASology and well as all the talented card makers that have played with us over the years.  You are a constant source of inspiration.  I'll see you all around blogland, and probably at CASology as well, where I plan to play along as often as I can.

Now, back to my typical CASology post...

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is RIDE. I just love this little scooter with its festive balloon message.  To keep the card CAS I used white on white texture behind my main focal image.

Now it's your turn.  How does RIDE inspire you?


As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:

1. One main image
2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
3. Limited layers & embellishments
4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)

I hope you play along this week.

Please head on over to the CASology blog and gather some inspiration from our Guest Designer Marieke, and our design team.

Finally.....Some Cards...

It feels like forever since I have sat down to make some cards just for fun, but that is what I did yesterday.  I've been spending lots of time knitting lately, and that has cut into my card making time.

I just returned from bringing my oldest to New York where she will spend the summer.  As you will see from this card and the next, I still have New York on my mind.  I am entering this card at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Vacation, as I have just returned from my first vacation of the summer in NYC.

Yes, NYC still on my mind, where I paired Concord & 9th City Stacks with Scooter Balloons from Lil Inker.

I was inspired by the sketch at CAS Colors and Sketches #325 and the colors at this week's Color Throwdown #547.  I am also entering at Seize the Birthday #167: Anything Goes.

Last up is a simple sympathy card inspired by the sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch #326.

3 Birthday Cards

Hi there.  I'm popping quickly for a mid week post to share 3 birthday cards.

First up is a card I made using the cutest stamps I just got from Lil Inker called Scooter Balloons.  I am entering this card at Seize the Birthday, where the topping is Travel.

While I had the stamps lined up in my Misti, I stamped and colored another version to enter at Addicted to Stamps & More #312: Make Your Mark.

My last card uses a packaging die from PTI In the Bag and I am playing along at PTI Make it Monday #338:  Using Packaging Dies on Cards.  I created a tag to go inside the bag, and when you pull the tag out, there is a birthday sentiment on it.  I am also entering this card at Simon Says Monday Challenge: Tag It.
