QUICK CAS HELLO

Good Morning all you lovely bloggers! I have been trying to get into my craftroom for weeks to just play. Well that wasn't happening, so up extra early this morning to put together a cute CAS card. Hope you enjoy! The two new products I was trying out was the Big Hello die from Simon Says Stamp and this awesome background stamp from Impression Obsession. Isn't that gingham the cutest? I can think of all kinds of uses for it! :)

Let It Snow!

Funny that this is the card I made today, because as I type there is a heavy snowfall warning and we are told to expect 20 cm of the white stuff -- eeek! Anyhoo, my card is for the Outlawz Paper a la Mode challenge where the theme is snowmen. Make sure you stop by and play along. We would love to see all your cute snowman creations. Definitely one of my favorite themes and I am hoping to make a few cards this week and make a dent in my Christmas cards.

For this card I used one of my absolute favorite Penny Black snowman stamps . . . isn't is adorable?

Stamps: Penny Black; Paper Trey Ink
Paper: Simon Says Stamp (SSS) White; Neenah Solar White
Dies: SSS
Gem: Kaiser Kraft
Embossing Folder: Sizzix

Doodle Picture

Today the theme over at Saturday's Paper a la Mode on the Outlawz Challenges is Doodles. As soon as I saw the theme, I knew that I wanted to try to create something hand drawn. Now the problem is that I can't draw something from scratch, but if I see something I like, I can make a relatively good copy. So I headed on over to Pinterest to look for some inspiration. You can see the original here. I think I CASEd this pretty well. :) Just wish I could come up with some of these great ideas on my own. Hope you like it.


I used Simon Says Stamp water color paper, copic multiliners along with inktense pencil crayons and a Tim Holtz water brush. Easy Peasy!

As You Like It - Favourite Not a Card Project and Why?
This project is one of my favourites in a long time, because it is truly artsy and something that I drew myself. This takes a lot of effort on my part as it doesn't come naturally, so it makes me proud to finish a picture like this.

Have a great weekend,
