Some CAS cards...

I've got some cards to share with you and them I'm off to create some more! ;)  I've been under the weather for almost a week now, but after some incredibly needed rest, I'm back to about 85% and I want to craft!!!  I'll show you my cards before I leave, though...

First card~

LIM: Brown & Pink

Crafts 4 Eternity: Less is More

Daring Cardmakers: Focus on Flowers

This is a one layer card that has just a bit o bling. :)  I adore this set--the flowers are so bold and fun!  And the leaf image is so versatile!  I've actually used this same set (Apple Blossoms--retired from SU!) for my second card as well!!!

Card 2 (sorry for the poor photo quality...)~

CAS-ual Fridays: Top of the Class

Party Time Tuesday: Teacher Inspired

Incy Wincy Designs: Back to School

This uses the same set as the first card, as I've already mentioned.  Why did I say that again?  Sorry...typing in stream of conciousness again! ;)  This card uses the fun open circle stamp and the fun and funky apple.  I hate to admit it, but I think this is the first time I've used the apple! *GASP*

That's all for me...thanks for stopping by!  I'll have another post soon with two more cards and then I'll be off to create some more!  Happy stamping! :)

TSOT: Thankful Thinking

It's another week.  BOO.  Today is technically my "Monday" as yesterday we didn't have work due to Labor Day.  And I just got back from my BIL's wedding!  BUT, we've got a new fabulous sketch for you over at Try Stampin' On Tuesday!!!

Ribbon Girl: Just Add Pearls

Cutie Pie Challenge: NO FLOWERS

This was a really simple card to create!  I just had to find patterns that worked well together, ribbon to coordinate and a sentiment that I felt was fitting.  This was my final product!  Sorry that I had to change the placement of the sentiment...but I really wanted to flip the sketch and it was the only place that looked right...

Thanks for stopping by--I'm ever so glad you did!  I love having you here and hope that  you come back again soon!  And come join us at TSOT--and don't forget to take a peek at the other amazing DT creations!  The DT team is so amazing! :)  Happy stamping, friends!!!

Digi Haven GDT: Anything Goes Month-Long Challenge!!!

Hi, all!  I was recently asked by Denise over at Digi Haven to be a Guest Designer to showcase their month-long "Anything Goes" challenge!  OF COURSE!!!  I have so enjoyed playing along with this fabulous challenge and have rarely missed one!  It's so fun to discover such fabulous free digis each time they have a challenge and the DT creations are all amazing!  So, the card that I have to show you today is a card using an amazing freebie from Birdie Brown called "Stitched Rose".

Here's my card~

Details~

I started by printing three of the stitched rose images and four of the leaf images.  I then water colored them, cut them out (the roses I cut in different sections for layering) and then added glitter to the edges of each image.  Because I cut the roses in different sections, I was able to layer it easily.  The water coloring made the paper curl a bit and I tried not to flatten it as I liked the natural look.  Then I added the flower to the white panel that I had stamped a sentiment on, added a bit of bling, put it all onto a gray card, and voila!  I think this would be a perfect card for a bridal shower, friendship, or just thinking of you card! :)

Thanks for taking a peek--I hope you like what you see!  I also hope that you'll come and join the fabulous month-long "Anything Goes" challenge over at Digi Haven--you won't regret it!  Happy DIGI stamping, friends! :)
