Almost a New Year

Hello friends, Happy Almost New Year! The challenge for our CAS team at Splitcoaststampers today is memories. My favorite way to capture memories is with photos! This Stamps of Life set (Camera2Stamp) and die (Camera Die Set) worked perfectly. 

My sketch comes from Freshly Made Sketches #368.

From the Heart Challenge

Monday means a new sketch at FTHS #148. This week the challenge is to add washi tape, used the sketch or both. I've used both.

This is one of the newer images in the FTHS store called A Little Something. 

Over on SCS we are having a birthday challenge on the CAS forum, and this fits right in!

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a wonderful week.

Little Miss Muffet Stamps

Better late than never! This was last Thursday's inspiration post for Little Miss Muffet, unfortunately the flu hit and I couldn't get it done until now. This cutie is called Polka Dot Pals Caroline, perfect for the April rainy weather that will be here soon. This also ties in perfectly with the CAS challenge at SCS today, April Showers.

FTHS Sketch Challenge

Happy Monday! I've got a fun card to share today for the FTHS sketch challenge and also for the CAS challenge on SCS. The CAS challenge is snow and ice and the FTHS challenge 135 is a sketch with a twist to add some nature. This image is so cute, it's called Wind Blown Penguin. 

CAS Congrats

Monday is our CAS challenge over on Splitcoaststampers. This week Lee has challenged us to create a WOW (white on white card). You can use a color for the sentiment. I stuck with black, for a manly look. This will be a handy little card to have around for a promotion, new job or anything of that sort. If you would like to play along, check out the challenge here. 

Card Recipe:

PTI ssw, PTI True Black, Palette Noir ink, PTI stamps and dies, Darice e/f, sequins, sewing machine

Sweet Watermelon

Just returned from a very relaxing vacation on Cape Cod, plenty of sun, fun and good food. I'm hosting the CAS challenge on SCS this week and the theme is Summer Treats. Watermelon is one of my favorite summer fruits, so I was delighted with the Stamps of Life set for July. The word die was included with the die set, too. 

My sketch comes from Freshly Made Sketches 195. I thought this was a great sketch this week and am so glad I had a bit of time to play along.
