Amazing with Sparkles

Some days are just ridiculous, aren’t they?  Pretty certain this has been one of them… Thank goodness it’s Friday is all I can say! I have used Avery Elle’s Amazing die heaps.  For one simple word it seems to be able to convey so much and suit so many occasions!  I cut the die into a…

Friendship Tree

One of the reasons I like entering challenges is because they are such a great way of making me get out of my comfort zone – and I’m learning that possibly I’m not naturally CAS!  I was so pleased with my first attempt at this card; and then I thought I’d get clever and make…

Hello There, Bear

Today’s title seems pretty appropriate given how long it has been since I’ve been around.  Life has been a little frantic lately – which does seem to happen pretty regularly round here.  Ahem. Anyhoo!  This was one of those cards that kind of create themselves.  I started with white embossing a old SU stamp on watercolor…

Simply Amazing

An unexpected day at home means unanticipated crafty time – what a fantastic way to spend a Tuesday!  (‘Amazing’ even! *nudge nudge, wink wink*)  I can’t say I’ve really settled into any particular style yet.  Sometimes I’m CAS, sometimes not-so-much (or whatever the word is that is the complete opposite of CAS).  But as soon…

Shades of Got This

Project Life cards for a completely different project and came across these sunnies.  Who can resist the classic combination of purple and yellow?  Especially when there happens to be a matching purple and yellow paper in your stash that covers…

Amazing Blue

  Quick post tonight, playing with Addicted to CAS and CAS(e) this Sketch – such fun! I used SU! Whisper White for the card base, as well as the sentiment (from Avery Elle) and scribble die cuts.  My ink blending (which hasn’t come through my attempts to lighten up the photo very famously – gosh darn…

Here Comes The Sun

  Time for a bit of Color Throwdown – yellow, navy and white: woohoo!  I definitely tend to mix and match my supplies; there is a bit of everything in here!  Guess that’s what happens when you don’t have a plan. I started with a cute wee SU! Project Life card in Crushed Curry that I…

Happy Mail

  Talk about a slow start to Spring!  This weekend was cold, and rainy, and it tried to snow so many times…  A good weekend for indoor activities (like crafting heh, heh!!)  Although not so good for the photo-taking 🙁 I wanted to play with the current cue at CASology:  WRITE.  After a bit of…
