CASology Week #371...Pool

 

Hello and happy Tuesday. It's time for another challenge at CASology.   This week, our cue word is POOL.  Very fitting for a hot summer.

I used these adorable sharks from Paper Smooches Splash, and had them swimming in a pool I made using the MFT Swimming Pool die.  I blended distress oxide then splashed with water to make my pool look more realistic.  Although they look friendly, I still do not think I would want to swim in a pool with 2 sharks.

Now it's your turn.  How does POOL 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  Claire and the design team.

We are sponsored this week by STAMPlorations.

My Crafty Visit

Lucky me....my niece came to visit for a few days, and she wanted to craft 24-7.  She was a quick study and made so many wonderful creations.  I was right along with her, and have 6 cards to post today.

First up is one of my favorites....it is amazing how easy shaker cards are when I have the right sized customized pouch!  I am entering this card at Addicted to Stamps and More #362:  Make Your Mark.

How about a swarm of penguins?  I think it's called a Waddle.  I forgot to leave a place for a sentiment on this one, so it will go inside, as I didn't want to cover anyone up in my group photo.  I am entering this card at Addicted to CAS #169: Creature, CAS Christmas October: Winter Scene, and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Christmas.

My next card gave me a chance to show my niece the magic of heat embossing and dry embossing, and I am entering it at The Flower Challenge #37: CAS, The Library Challenge #43: The Secret Garden, and The Paper Players #462.

I am entering this following card at Paper Smooches October Challenge:  DT Inspiration...I was inspired by the cards in this post, and also Just Us Girls #508:  Designer Paper...some hombre watercolor paper by Lil Inkers.  Just love those bitty baby sharks.

Last up is a pair of cards I made using a blend of fall colors.  I couldn't decide if I wanted my die cut to have blending or the background to have blending, so I made one of each.

I am entering this card at Shopping Our Stash #406 and Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Fall.

And, the other version...I am entering this at The Male Room #121:  Stay CAS.
