Addicted to CAS - Contrast

Adjusting to being back on the mainland after a fun and relaxing week in Hawaii.  Vacation is always great, but coming home to the puppy is fun too!

We have a new challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Contrast.  There are so many fun options with this challenge.

Here's my take on the theme...

I wanted to go with something a bit fun and use some stamp sets that haven't seen the light of day lately.  I used these fun monster stamps and found a little round monster along side a tall skinny one.  Thought this would be perfect for the challenge!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Less is More - Buds or Pedals

We just returned from Hawaii...and it was wonderful to get in a bit of rest and relaxation...but always nice to come home to the puppy!

We have another challenge starting today at Less is More.  Our theme for this week is Buds or Pedals and this is a one-layer card challenge....so, remember to just fold over that cardstock and get busy!

Here's my take on the theme...

Some super quick and easy stamping.  Hard to go wrong with these fun flowers from Simon Says Stamps---my favorite floral stamp set.  

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Addicted to CAS - Humor

It's lining up to be a busy weekend...but am able to fit in a bit of fun with tennis, the dog and the husband.  All is good!

Also, we have another challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS.  I'm hosting this one and I selected Humor for the theme.  I have so many fun cards to choose from, but ended up settling on this one.  Here's what I came up with...

I just love these Odd Ball images from Stamping Bella.  She has the best attitude, and she makes me laugh.

A simple stamp of the image along with my Copic markers quickly makes this CAS card.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Addicted to CAS - Ombre

A beautiful weekend on tap...no rain lovely weather, walks with the dog, tennis with friends, hanging out with the husband...can't get better than that!


Oh wait, I think it can...we have another challenge starting at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Ombre.  Here is my take on the challenge...

Ok, I maybe cheating a little bit, because I made a very similar card a month ago...but I really like these sentiment stamps and the simplicity of this design so I made another card.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Green

What a beautiful day...a bit cold to start off the morning walk, but it quickly warmed after a round of tennis!  Then lunch at home with the hubby---after a bit of yard work!


We have another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS.  The theme for this week is Green. I went a little different here and focused my green on this card...I mean, who won't want green hair!

This is a super cute stamp from Stamping Bella...I just love these Odd Ball characters.  Also, hard to go wrong with green hair!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Take 3

Another beautiful day to start the weekend.  I took the puppy for a long leisurely walk--then some housework and finally time to have some fun in the studio.  Hope the weather holds for some tennis tomorrow!

We have a new challenge starting at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge is Take 3.  What is this?  Well simply, anything that you have three of...words, colors, etc.  Here's my take on the challenge...

For this challenge.  I picked 3 colors for my background and 3 squares for each word.

How fun is that!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Fluffy

Done with the yard work and some general outdoor clean up.  Now time to do a bit of fun stuff, so I'm working on this next challenge at Addicted to CAS!  Our theme for this challenge is Fluffy.  So many options for this challenge that it is unclear where to start.  Here's my take on the challenge...

When I thought about this challenge my mind went directly to puffy clouds...so that is where I started.  The next most fluffy thing I could find are my cute little bunny stamps.  I colored both of the images with pinkish colors...I guess getting ready for Easter.

I decided to simply put the sentiment on the inside---a simple "Hug"!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
