Happy Saturday. It's another clean and simple challenge across at Addicted to CAS this week and I have a fun card for you using the Paws Up dies from Waffle Flower. I was inspired to create this card using Toni's theme for our challenge this week. I had fun creating this card and the paws represent our three babies - we have two bi-colors and a tabby Maine Coon. Here's a sneak peek: Apart from the images... I also love that sentiment! Here's Toni's challenge: I began by die-cutting and assembling the images for the paws. I created two paws... Read more →
Happy Tuesday And welcome to a Minnesota where the temps are in the plus 40s - instead of the minus late 30s they were last week! Well, the weather might be confused, but I loved the sketch across at Sunday Stamps this week and had a set that I got as part of a class to use for the challenge.

Oh - and here's the... Read more →

Here's Ann's colors Sadly, my camera didn't catch the richness of the Cobbler so it looks more pink.... I loved the choice of Cherry Cobbler with Peacock and the touches of... Read more →
Happy Saturday. Oh... I got to make another kiddies card for Ronald McDonald today. I saw this challenge across at Time Out and couldn't help but bring out my Birthday Monsters dies again. This time I paired it with a background stamp from Stampin' Up! called It's in the Stars. Here's a sneak peek: I didn't think I would get half as much fun out of these dies as I have and I think they are just perfect for Ronald McDonald House. Here's the challenge from Time Out: I stamped the background stamp and heat embossed it with white embossing... Read more →
