Addicted to CAS - Tree

Oh my gosh...it is getting so busy with the holidays just around the corner...can't believe it is almost the end of the year.


We have one more challenge for this year at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Tree.  Perfect for this time of the year!

Here's my take on the challenge...

Even though I was late in getting this card posted...it is actually a super quick and easy card to make---which is perfect if you want to make many.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Pick A Triangle

Another beautiful day...I guess I need to use these next few lovely days as the weather is expected to take a sudden turn and bring us much needed rain, hail and snow!  Just in time for Thanksgiving and hopefully bringing a bit of winter weather for Christmas!

We have another challenge starting at Less is More.  Our theme for this week is Pick A Triangle.  This is a bit of a different challenge for us...always fun to shake things up a bit. 

Here's my take on the challenge...

I decided to go with a bit of a modern Christmas card.  I've used some non-traditional colors and the inlaid die technique.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Addicted to CAS - Blessings

Can't believe it is almost the end of November...that means Christmas is just around the corner.  It certainly doesn't help that the weather is still a bit more end of summer instead of winter!

We have another challenge starting today at Addicted to CAS!  Our theme for this challenge is Blessings.  This is the perfect time of the year to think back about all that we are greatful for and I'm happy to say that I have many things on that list!

Here's my take on the challenge...

Okay this little sweet Gingerbread Man is so cute.  It is actually a sticker and as I was peeling it, I broke his leg.  I was going to start over, but then realized that it might be appropriate for him to have a bit of a broken leg...so I went with it.  Though truth be told, I only have one Gingerbread Man!

The Blessing sentiment is added to the card using inlaid die technique and the Christmas sentiment is stamped.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Birthday

Finally fall has arrived....yeah!  I've been enjoying the weather, but can't believe that it is already November.  Gotta crank out those Christmas cards.

In the meantime, we have another challenge starting over at Addicted to CAS!  Our theme is Birthday...just because we are getting closer to Christmas doesn't mean we don't need more birthday cards. And Addicted to CAS is celebrating our 7th Birthday!

Here's my take on the challenge....

I did a lot of masking for this one.  Which was kinda fun.  Love this little cow!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Less is More - Winter Flora

Finally....it is cooling down a bit.  We've had a bit of a heat wave this week...but not too bad as it does cool down overnight.  Though, I'm ready for the fall weather.

We have another challenge starting today at Less is More.  Our theme for this challenge is Winter Flora---and it is a one layer card.  Here's my take on the challenge...

I just love the Bella images and this one is no exception.  I colored this little cutie pie with Copic markers.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Addicted to CAS - Hero

Wow...it is almost Halloween!  Can't believe this month is flying by.  Gotta go buy some candy this week.  Hoping that we have lots of little visitors.


We have another challenge starting today over at Addicted to CAS.  Our theme for this challenge is Hero!  Love it! 

I dusted off an older stamp set I had and come up with this card...

Super cute little ones...took this opportunity to show off our girl power!  Yeah!

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Addicted to CAS - Plaid

I hope we had the last heat wave of the year!  I'm ready for the fall season!

Anyhoo...we have another challenge at Addicted to CAS today...our theme is Plaid.  This was a bit of a challenge for me, as I was searching for paper and realized I don't have much (actually any plaid)...then I was thinking about it and realized, I'm not a super big fan of plaid.  However, with that being said...I did find the back on one piece of paper that had plaid...it was only a small amount...so time to be creative.  Here's my take on the challenge...

This card uses the inlaid dye technique...which was a bit challenging since it cut the entire card across.  But in the end it all came together.

You can't tell in this picture, but I used some silver glitter paper as well.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
