Gosh, there are so many fun challenges out there that I want to try and just not enough time in the day! A new one on the block is CASology, where you have a cue word each week! This week’s cue word is “happy”! I combined it with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week, which is to use a black base for your card. The samples there are ADORABLE! Anyway, there are lots of things that make ME happy on this card:
I love polka dots; I love scallops; I love the colors of yellow, black and white together, and I love heat embossing on vellum and coloring the underside with markers!!! These all make me happy!
I also think these sentiments from Petite Pairs are two of the happiest!
I have a girlfriend whose birthday is almost exactly a month later than mine (and she reminds me that this makes her always YOUNGER than I am) so I’ll add a birthday sentiment to the inside when I figure which one I like best and this will be her card!!! If you have any questions about my products or techniques, buzz me with an email!
Yesterday I shared how Cassidy spent time in the garden…..today, she’s playing in a drywall bucket full of bird seed. This kept her occupied for at least half an hour. She got some on the driveway, but it’s birdseed…..someone will eat it!!!
Really pretty card LeAnne, your sunflowers is lovely. Thank you so much for joining us at CASology this week.
