Less is More - Embossing

It been a bit like fall weather...an unexpected rain storm kept us off the courts, but hopefully the weather is going to be a bit more like summer soon!

We have another challenge starting over at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge is Embossing.  You can either heat or dry emboss--choices are always good.

Here's what I came up with for the challenge...

My niece is graduating from high school, so I thought I would make her some personalized stationary.  Something she will have when she goes off to college---maybe she'll write home the old fashion way!

Anyhow a quick and simple card.  The added embossing makes it look a bit more professional.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Graduation

We are getting closer to the summer...can't believe it is almost here!  Where did the time go?? We have another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this week is Graduation...yes, it is already that time of year again!

Here's my take on the challenge...

I recently picked up this sweet image from no other than Stamping Bella and had so much fun working with this one.  So many fun ways to color this little Odd Ball. I used my Copics and added a bit of color and celebration on the right hand side of the card!

Super fun!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Beverages

Another nice relaxing weekend on tap...little time on the courts, time with the husband and time with the puppy!  Super fun!


We have another challenge starting over at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge is Beverages...how fun is that!

Here's my take on the challenge...

Using my favorite Odd Ball characters from Stamping Bella---which are just the best!  This one in particular is so funny---she just cracks me up!

I stamped this little sweetheart and colored her with Copics.  I added a few silver stars to give her a little pop and done!  Super fast and easy!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Horizon

Wow, can't believe it is May already.  Where has the time gone.  We are well into Spring and just enjoying the weekend.

We have a new challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Horizon.  This was a bit fun for me to figure out what to go with...so I decided to make this interpretation of the challenge.  Here's what I came up with...

I used this fun Stamping Bella image, as both of these cutie's are searching the Horizon!  I simply stamped the image and used my Copic markers to color them in.  Super fun!

Look forward to seeing what you come up with!

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.
