CAS-ual Fridays #100

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge is celebrating a couple of milestones - their 100th Challenge and their 2nd Birthday!

I'm glad this is a two week challenge as I've finally had a bit of time to play along.

CFC100: Each square represents one of our top 10 challenges.
Choose any row and combine those themes to create your Clean And Simple project.

This card uses the themes in the middle horizontal row: square card, bling and text.

I made a graduation card for one of my nieces - her school colors are purple and gold and I hope the glitter paper satisfies the "bling" requirement for the card.  The text background was created in Word & I am really pleased with the way it turned out!

The die cut numbers look like they are floating, but are adhered securely with foam tape.

I hope to finish off a couple more cards for this challenge before the week is out.

Thanks for stopping by,

Tuesday Trigger + CASology & Retrosketch

It's always a good day when I have time to make a couple of cards.

First up is one for the Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger: Pretty Little Petits Fours. I am so glad this was a three week challenge, because I'm really happy with the card I made.

I inked white shimmer cardstock with Spun Sugar distress ink to make my "Petits Fours" squares and topped them with vellum flowers. A touch of color is added with Copic markers and the centers are silver micro beads.

The shimmer squares sit on a wood embossed panel that is attached to a silver shimmer card base. 

This second card is based on the current retrosketch and the CASology cue word "hexagon".

I really liked the saturated colors and hexagon panel on the CASology Design Team member Tracey's card which led me to this creation.

This was a very fast card to make - both the hexagon panel and the sentiment flag are popped up with dimensional adhesive.

Carpool duties are calling me, so I have to run!

Sweet 16

I'm taking a 10 minute break to quickly post another card I made for my daughter's birthday.  One of my all time favorite cards is this one I made for my dad's birthday last year.

This 16th birthday card was made about a month or so after my dad's card and I was thinking my daughter might use it for one of her friends, but then I liked it too much and decided to put it aside for her birthday this year.

My dear daughter has always had a thing for cars. She was not interested in dressing or accessorizing her Barbies or Polly Pockets, only in collecting vehicles for them to drive. Somewhere I have documented her massive vehicle collection but if memory serves me correctly, we whittled the fleet from 34 to 17 when making the move from Washington to California a few years ago.

Bright & early tomorrow morning she will be in her first Driver's Ed class and a new chapter begins.

It is going to be a crazy weekend for us with her party tonight and Greek Easter on Sunday.

Hope you all have great weekend plans.

Thanks for stopping by,
