old friends

Hello everyone,

I made this card with left over Close to My heart papers (which you can find by clicking the top button on the left) and a K Andrews stamp

the middle lady was given to me for a swap... i would credit the artist but i used it but I dont' have it recorded - i love this style of card and I used  all my left over papers with it

i would love to enter my card into the following challenges

cas-ual fridays- kraft on

the pink elephant - vintage or shabby chic

paper make up stamps- layers

the play date cafe- colour

Sending hearts... 

Miss Ewe

helllooooo everyone... 

So I have been trying to go though my scraps and my left over peices of paper etc to make things

I am hoping to get my bathroom done but I am having some issues and I don't want to spend any extra money that I don't need to... so my craft wish list is on hold for the moment.

But don't you worry... I have tons planned to do!!

here is one that I did tonight... now the sheep is actually from a swap that I was in on scrapbook.com

added the sentiment from K Andrews - some twine - card stock that I misted... and Voila...

isn't she cute!!!! 

 i love the bling on the sheep

 that sentiment was perfect for this card... 

So I did have some challenges in mind when seeking out inspirations... 

I am not competitive at all. I just love challenges... the more the better.  And trying to stay with in my style.. that can be tough because I don't do the big flowers with tons of layers... maybe one day I will grow into it but right now this is more me CAS :)

good evening everyone... so we had a challenge at work a while a go for the ladies who could walk the most steps and they won a pedicure!!!  here is the card I made for one of the ladies 

hope you are all staying cool in the heat!!

I know it is really a simple card but someone else might get some inspiration from it as well :) plus it had to be completed in under an hour!!!  So my inspiration didn't really come from home... it was from work - I hope that counts as well for I believe the last pink by design challenge until the ustream :) 

I used Pink Journey Cricut Cartridge for the shoe

Good evening everyone 

I am posting this card for two reasons - I love Getting Cricky with K Andrews stamps and she is having a design team call and I would love to be a part of her team.  I haven't been a guest designer but I would love to show her my stuff... and... 

As you know I have been working on a progressive challenge with Sassy Studios

Today we were able to play around with a Miranda image... so cute... love it

the card was to be CAS - right up my alley!!!

so here is my take on the sketch

and of course the "Chic" stamp is from K Andrews - fashionable friends 

that set has so much on it and I have used it quiet a bit lately
