I had a very restful Sunday playing with my stamps and getting some much-needed rest from talking. I've had a very long bout of laryngitis and it still hurts to talk and sing (sucks to be a choir teacher right now!!) but the weekends are gooooood!! 

I played along with the Simon Says Monday Challenge: Make Your Own Background

If you took away the background these cards would be very "CAS" and that's what I love about the galaxy background technique - it kind of stands alone!! 

The little bears and sentiment (Mama Elephant) are my go-to set when I do this technique - love them!! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies: 

Stamp Set: Space Bears

Nuvo Jewel Drops "Grey Mist"

Hi there!!
I'm back in China and getting settled into the new school year.
I'm here today with a project for The Twinery and it's all about DOGS!!
 I have two that are currently living with me and they are the light of my life - especially when I get home from work!! Needless to say I've got quite the little collection of dog-themed stamps going and this card uses one of my fav's:

I kept this card really neutral with a POP of colour to keep it on the masculine side. One thing I love about incorporating twine into my cards is it can help to tie-in those random colours in the project: 

I only used red on the mallets and the dot on his t-shirt, but by using Maraschino twine it TIED it all together... (See what I did there... a little twinery pun for ya!!)

Thanks for popping in!! 

Hi there!
