You mean the world for Addicted to CAS
17 January 2015
Hi Everyone.
Happy Saturday.
It's my turn to host the challenge at Addicted to CAS this week - the first challenge of 2015 and we have a few new team members joining us this year, as well as our guest designer for January - Julia.
A very warm welcome to our new team members - and to Julia!
The code word that I chose for this challenge is:
This was a great opportunity to continue my New Year's resolutions for using items that are sitting in my cupboard. In this case it was the SU background stamp "World Map".
I stamped it onto vellum and put it behind a circle that I cut out of my top layer. I didn't have a sentiment that was exactly what I needed, so I opened up my word processing software and, voila! I had the sentiment I needed.
I paired it with an old wooden plane element that I have had in my stash for quite a while. I colored it with a Lost Lagoon marker to match the stamped world map.
Here's my card:
We hope that you will join us this week and play along with our challenge. Our winner will receive a stamp set from our fabulous sponsor

On a personal note:
I'm sorry that this is such a short post, but my index finger had an accident with a door.... consequently I have my index finger "buddy" strapped to its neighbor and typing is very difficult. It takes me ages to type anything :-)
I'm hoping to be back with my Paper Players card tomorrow, but that's totally dependent on whether or not I can actually create a card :-)In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers to those of you who need a little lift tonight.
Hugs

This card is stunning! I love that you stamped on vellum, gives it such a soft look!
I'm sorry to hear that you hurt your finger, hope that you get better soon

Love your creation and SO sorry to hear about your finger! Curses on ANYTHING that keeps us from stamping! Meanwhile, I have a couple of ideas for this challenge....have to see if I can squeeze it in!

I love this map stamped on vellum, Jaydee! It makes me think of viewing from an airplane through a bit of mist! Love that stitching too. Hope your finger is all better. Ouch!
