My Crafty Weekend

Hello and happy Sunday.  What is the best thing to do when you are up crazy early with jet lag?  Make cards, of course!!

First up is a CAS birthday card that I am entering at Color Throwdown #557 and Addicted to Stamps and More #355.

I am entering this next card at Just Add Ink #471 where I was inspired by the yarn colors to do some color blocking with my new Altenew Layered Cityscape dies.  I am also entering this at Simon Says Wednesday Challenge of Clean and Simple.

My next card is for the challenge at A Blog Named Hero August:  Stretch Your Stamps.  I used a bookcase background stamp and cut it to use it as a frame.  I am also entering this card at AAA Birthdays #4:  For the Boys.

Time for some fall fun with the mice on my next card, where I have used an interpretation of the sketch at MFT Sketch Challenge #451, and rotated the sketch 90 degrees.

I stamped some brightly colored baby birds from Paper Smooches up the side of my next card, and I am entering it at the Paper Smooches August challenge and AAA Cards #147: Along the Edge.

And finally, a card inspired by all the laundry I did this week, after returning from vacation.  I am entering it at Lawn Fanatics #59:  Something See-Through, where I used their suggestion and used vellum on my washing machine, and the sketch at The Paper Players #496.

That's it for me today.  I had a wonderful vacation, but it is good to be back.

CASology Week #325...Fresh

Happy New Year.  I hope you are ready for a new year full of fun CASology challenges.  I know I am!!

This week, our cue word is:  FRESH.  What a great cue word for the start of a new year.  How about a fresh start?  I always love the fresh and clean smell of newly washed laundry, although I don't always love the folding and putting away part.

Now it's your turn.  How does FRESH 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 Ishani and the CASology design team.

CASology Week #212: Fun

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is Fun.

Now, when I was first thinking about 'fun', laundry was not the first thing that popped into my mind. However, as I searched for whatever I was originally looking for, I happened across this Lawn Fawn Loads of Fun stamp set--uninked and begging to be used.

.
A little bit of paper piecing and coloring later, and I have a humorous birthday card.  I can think of a number of friends I could send a card like this to.

Hard to see from this photo, but I actually cut the washer out twice, cut a circle out of the top layer and covered it with clear card stock.  The laundry is not actually free moving, but it does have the look of a shaker card.

Now, it's your turn.  How does FUN 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.
