Butterfly Wishes for Addicted to CAS # 103

Hi Everyone. Happy Friday..... although you won't be reading this until Saturday :-) I corrupted my photo editing software and had to reload it... consequently I missed uploading my AtCAS card in time for the start of the first challenge of the year. You would think that I would NOT have missed it considering we have been on break..... but.. miss the deadline I did.

Thinking of You - Sea Side Treasures

Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. I hope you are all having a great start to your week. I am still thinking about Spring and Sunshine and beaches and warm weather.... but, as it snowed this morning, I guess we aren't quite ready for it in Minnesota :-) However, I did want to share a beach inspired card with you today. I really do love this Sea Side Treasures set. I love the realism of the images. It was one of "those" stamp sets that I felt I had to have the minute that I saw it. I started with a watercolor...

Flip Flop Season for Happy Little Stampers

Hi Everyone. Happy Thursday. It's a quick post for you tonight ... It's almost 10 and I've just finished doing all that I needed to do today :-) I saw this great sketch across at Happy Little Stampers- it's a sketch that really takes me out of my comfort zone - and that's a good thing :-) Here's the sketch: When I saw the sketch I wasn't quite sure what to use .... then... I realized I had the new Simon Says Stamp August card kit on my craft desk and it had just the right stamp for the sketch!... Read more →
