CAS Baby

Hello!

Today I bring you my contribution to CASE Study #141 and CARDS Magazine May Challenge.

I used Mama Elephant Nursery Deco. Ink is PTI Hawaiian Shores, Hero Arts Pale Tomato, SU! Daffodil Delight. Twine is Twinery Lemon Drop.

The inspiration came from Maile Belles' card at CASE Study.

I was actually using the colour inspiration from CARDS Magazine, and didn't have the photo of Maile's card in front of me when I made my card (I'd sketched the layout, to try to come up with my own version). Anyway, I ended up with a VERY similar card, oops!

Today I'm back at work for the week. I think week-ends need to be a LOT longer. Two days is just not enough. ;-)

Thanks for visiting!

Yay! It's your birthday!

Hello!

Well, maybe it isn't YOUR birthday, but I was having trouble thinking up a header... and it IS someone's birthday, that's why I made this card. ;-)

I used PTI Turning a New Leaf and Stylish Sentiments: Birthday stamps. The flowers are MFT Die-Namics. Colours are PTI Hibiscus Burst PP, and SU! Garden Green and Night of Navy ink.

I made this card for Muse Challenge #12 where Therese Calvird is our Muse this week with this gorgeous card.

I looked, and looked again, and decided that I was not going to do Therese justice if I just copied this card. Therese has already made this one to perfection. I made a stylised version. ;-)

I used the colours from the April CARDS Blog Challenge.

  Today I am spending the day with my real-life stamping friends. Finding a day in school holidays where none of us are working, or busy, is just heavenly. Our kids run rampant, totally ignored by their mothers, and we spend a lot of time chatting, and a little time putting ink to paper. ;-)

Thanks for coming to visit!

Something New

Hello!

Here I am again! Woo hoo! Still enjoying my crafting time on holidays! :-)

This evening I sat down to create a card that has been hanging around in my head for a few days. Here it is.

I used PTI Snowflake Flurries and Framed Out #3. Colours are Memento Grey Flannel, Stampin' Up Old Olive and Pool Party. Card is PTI Basic White.

I used Papertrey Ink Snowflake Flurries to create this card. As soon as I saw these "snowflakes", this is what I imagined doing with them (layering and creating an explosion of colour). Only I never really saw snowflakes when I saw these stamps, I saw fireworks! Am I the only one? I love them!

This card is in response to three challenges.

CASology Challenge #25 gives us the theme "new". I was going to make a "new baby" card, but then today these gorgeous Snowflake Flurries entered my house and I had to use them immediately!

CARDS Blog Challenge for January brought us the beautiful colour scheme.

CASE Study Challenge #122 gave me the inspiration for the layout from this beautiful card by Windy Robinson. I CASified it quite a bit, but I think you can still see the link to the original. :-)

Thanks for coming by to visit me!
