Retro Sketches

Hi friends.  I am sharing my card for Retro Sketches.  I also had the Dynamic Duos colors in my head for this one.  :)  Here is the sketch:

CTS #17 & DD #42

Hi friends.  Today I have a card to share with you that I made for CAS(E) this Sketch!  I had this idea pop into my head on our way to church yesterday.  I could not wait to come home and see how it looked on a card.  Sometimes I get an idea in my head and when I put the idea to paper it just doesn't come out like what I had in mind.  This one came out pretty close.  :)  Here is the sketch:

I also used the colors for Dynamic Duos.

Hi friends, happy Sunday.  I hope you are all enjoying your day.  Today's card is for Seize the Birthday and CAS-ual Friday challenges.  The challenge at CAS-ual Friday is to stamp your own background.

Here is the sketch for Seize the birthday, this week we were to make a masculine card using this sketch. 

I hope you can see the score lines as part of the sketch.  :)  I masked this area off while stamping my background.

Trend article: Pinwheels & Christmas card

Hi friends.  Last week my second article as Trends editor went up on StampNation.  The article was on Pinwheels, they seem to be popping up everywhere.  I have to tell you that I had so much fun putting this article and samples together.  I also learned a lot about making and creating different pinwheels.  If you want to see more samples and read the article, I encourage you to become a member if you aren't one already.   Click here to learn more about StampNation.

 

 My card for today is for Merry Monday challenge #51.  This week is a Tic Tac Toe challenge.

 

I chose red, punches and snowflakes.  This is another great card to mass produce.  It is CAS all the way.  My card was inspired by this amazing card made by Christina.  Thank you for the inspiration Christina. 

I am slowly trying to use up my stash of DSP.  Yes I admit, I am a bit of a hoarder when it comes to DSP.  I just hate cutting such beautiful paper.  Anyone else??  :)

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

CASology: circle

Hi friends.  I got some new Papertrey stamps the other day and couldn't wait to ink them up.  This week's cue word at CASology is Circle.  So many ideas popped into my head for this one, unlike last week for Flame.  ;)   For my card I used Vellum cardstock and Stampin' Up's texture plates, which are now retired.  I have been using them more since they retired than when they weren't.  haha   I had some of these circle clips in my stash for quite some time.  Finally, using those too.  

Also entering this card at Simon Says Stamp:  Anything goes.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
