Addicted to CAS - Grid

We have another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS.  This one was a bit tricky for me as I wasn't sure what direction to go.  I decided to keep it simple (which I guess is perfect for a clean and simple themed challenge :))

Here's what I came up with...

I kept the images super simple with just a stamped flower and sentiment.  I then scored some grid lines to highlight this simple design--this is my grid!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Sentiment

It has been a wet and rainy few days but hopefully it will clear up soon and I can get back to playing tennis...also hoping my little puppy will be feeling better soon...he has a sprain from chasing squirrels.

We have another challenge over at Less is More---and we are celebrating our birthday.  We have a generous sponsor, CAS-ual Fridays, who will be giving out a prize...some come on over and join the fun.

Here's my take on this challenge...

These simple images really are sweet and allow the focus to be on the their little messages.  Hoping this card will bring some sunshine to a friend.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Birds

We have a fun weekend planned, with some sunshine, tennis and general outdoor activities...gotta enjoy the break in the rain!

Another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Birds.  I tried several different designs here before I was happy with this.

Here's my take on the challenge...

I thought it would be fun to have my birds on a wire.  The card looked a bit empty, so I added a few houses underneath but focused my color just on the birds.  I added my trademark little bubble on top of the card with the sentiment and done!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Navy and Yellow

Yeah...a bit of sunny weather to dry out from the non-stop rain.  We were able to hit the tennis courts again, which is the best!

Anyhoo...we have another challenge starting today at Less is More.  Our theme for this color challenge is Navy and Yellow.  I was thinking of doing something floral, but in the end gravitated to my favorite monsters.  Here's my take on the challenge...

This is a super simple card.  Just colored my image with copics and added my normal little cloud bubbles and done!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Addicted to CAS - Friends

We have another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS!  Super fun topic...Friends!  This is the perfect topic for me as I try to send cards to my friends each month!  Always fun to get happy mail!


Here's my take on the challenge...

Super quick card since there is not much coloring.  Just a bit of shading and a few colors...but nothing better then snowmen selfie!

I stamped the sentiment on the bottom and on the inside it says "Warm the Heart".  I then added a bit of tone on tone snowflakes to some bright pink paper.

I then promptly sent this to my friend Barb!  Pink is her fav color and she is enjoying the snow at the moment!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Sketch Challenge

It's been a soggy few weeks so more time in the studio card making and dress making.  Never a dull moment---so many fun things to focus while it rains outside!

We have another challenge starting today at Less is More.  This challenge is a sketch challenge.  Never easy for me, but always fun!  Here's my take on the challenge.  

I did a little masking and blending some bright and fun colors--to make up for the grey clouds here!  I then colored my cute little bunny with copics and popped up the bunny and the sentiment on foam tape.

Pretty quick and easy!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Water

Happy New Year!  Wow, it has been awhile since I have posted anything...but now I'm back!

We are having the first challenge of the new year over at Less is More!  Our theme for this challenge is water.  I was a little late in getting my act together, so here is what I came up with!

Super quick and easy card, which I needed this time.  I have this little cutie pie, going through a little puddle of water. 

I tried to have my little guy go through a more aggressive puddle, but then my colors bled and it was a mess, so I stuck with something simple.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
