Hugs and Kisses for Addicted to CAS

Hi Everyone. Happy Saturday. It's the fabulously talented Deepti's turn to host our Addicted to CAS challenge this week and she has a perfect code word for this time of year. Now, when I saw this code word I was originally drawn to creating a Valentine's Day card... but... I realized that I needed a couple of thank you - thinking of you cards - for the winter season. Considering that we are still deep in winter, I decided to bring out a set that is normally used for Christmas and use it as a winter set instead :) Before... Read more →

I am still on my new year resolution to use colors and items that I don't show much love, and this card is no exception as I pulled out So... Read more →

Crazy for You - for Case this Sketch

Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. I am so pleased that we are past the mid-way point in the week and on our way to the weekend :-) One of the challenges I played along with this week is this sketch from Case this Sketch and combined found another great technique challenge that provided me with the idea that I needed. CAS on Sunday is having a technique challenge - use a stencil! I was really drawn to the vertical design on the one side of the sketch and had the perfect stencil to create it. I used two shades of pink... Read more →
