CAS Christmas June 2021 Challenge Snowman

 

A really quick post, with a really fun, and quick card!

For  CAS Christmas June 2021 Challenge Snowman!

Looks like Julia and I had the same idea, wink!  But I don't mind if she doesn't!

I really love to play with this challenge to fill my Christmas stash for 2021!  This darling duo from Colorado Crafts called Snowman and Bunny,  just had to be water colored, and clear heat-embossing those lines make that process so easy for a loose bit of that!

Have a great Saturday evening!

CAS Mix Up June 2021 Challenge - Flight!

I haven't totally lost it ... well.  maybe I have.  But I'm back to fix the mistake on my CAS Mix Up card!  I got the flight right, but the medium wrong!!

Here you go, Viv... sorry about the mix up - pun intended!

Using another of those MFT High-Flying Adventures from Cat,

and a wonky oval die to impress the idea of just how adventurous this guy is!

Let the weekend begin!!!

Viv!!  I am so pleasantly surprised by this win!!

Thank you, and the team for this honor!  It was such a fun theme!

MFT Things with Wings and CAS Mix Up - Flight!

I don't know how I got so lucky to have such sweet friends, but there's a little gal in Maryland who recently sent me a few stamped images to color - oh they were inside the cutest card, too!   Little did she know, she may have saved my bacon for a few challenges that popped up recently. 

May I introduce you to my entry for MFT's Slimline Challenge: Things with Wings and CAS Mix Up's June 2021 Challenge: Flight!!  I'm a rebel, but I do play by the rules - and I sadly forgot this was a water color challenge!!  Sorry CAS Mix Up - I'll be back!

Keeping things nicely CAS, I chose to emboss some clouds, instead of coloring them!

Get it?  right HARE?  MFT High-Flying Adventures

This probably isn't the situation Richard Marx had in mind! lol

I'm not quite ready to fly again, but look forward to it one day.  In the meantime, a girl can craft about it!

Thanks, Cat! xx

Inspired By #179 - You're one in a MELON!

 

A year or so ago, I managed to 'melon-ize' just about everything!  

Today, I just borrowed the colors, and saw IB179 in a different way:

Okay, so those shiny enamel dots won't win me any seed-spitting contest, 

but I hope this causes a smile, or two!

Before we head over to see my teamies cards, I want to share 

another little One in a Melon card I made yesterday while playing with my new Rainbow set from Waffle Flower!  

Before anyone asks about those stitched hearts:  it's an Amy Tangerine ef - check ebay!  

That's where I found mine!  Called cross-stitched hearts or something like that! 

Okay now let's go over to IB179 to see what/or how my teamies have melon-ized their DT cards - hope you join me, and are inspired to play along!

Thanks for stopping by!

Waffle Flower Craft Rustic Rainbow die set

Create a Rainbow! or four!

I've done a wee bit more shopping [I might have a problem - but don't think I'm alone with it =]   Waffle Flower Crafts had a wonderful Rainbow Everything release recently - TOO cute to resist!

I immediately reached for JJ Bolton's darling Oversized Rainbow Combo, her Rustic Rainbow die set, and a few more goodies I'll save for another day!

Ready for the results of a full play day?  Ready, or not, here they come...

Just when you think you can't make a non-traditional rainbow, I found a way!

Using this wee little bloom die, that was a gift with purchase!  

Yes, they are SO generous!

Here's another way of making a rainbow your own - this time, I am allowing

the recipient to make it HER own, by making the rainbow removable, 

by using repositionable tape!

Of course I had to make a traditional rainbow, too!

I love that JJ's set includes the arches, and these adorable little clouds - 

I cut them from dotty dry embossed card stock, and grey for the silver lining *wink*

Last card - thanks for hanging in there with me - I'm a girl who doesn't waste a bit when she can help it!  Using the solid rainbow die, I was able to rescue all the leftovers from cutting the strips from the rainbow of cardstock colors...

The wonderful, fantastic, clever Channin Pelletier inspired this card on her LIVE last Friday!

Aren't those Altenew alphas perfect for this?  I've used the WF

Up and Running enamel dots that coordinate perfectly!

 and a wee little butterfly die that I'd received in a past order!

Hope you enjoy the results of my play day!

See you again tomorrow - yes, there is ONE MORE!

The Flower Challenge #57 CAS - reminder

I'm back to remind you that you still have time to enter your own

Clean and Simple card to The Flower Challenge!

Here is what CAS means to me:

• Colors, and dimension, kept to a minimum
• NO bling
• sentiment stamped directly to the card so I don't disturb that white space too much!

Our fabulous guest, Rachel Alvarado and my teamies, 

have oodles of inspiration for you!  Be sure to check them out

at The Flower Challenge blog!

Supplies: Altenew Sunflower Daisy and dies

The Card Concept - #157 vacation!

 

Take one guess where my inspiration comes from...

Have you found them yet?

Team member Kim Singdahlsen's card showed me the way to those fun bobbers hanging next to her towel... I saw the perfect time to use my fish again! But it was LeAnne Pugliese's picnic basket reminded me of the plaid in 

The Stamp Market's Fintastic set! [sorry but it's sold out!]  Now I'll 

reel in my enthusiasm!  

I know you're probably tired of them, but I had to play in The Card Concept's Vacation challenge today, with my Clean and Simple card!

Thank you to The Card Concept for this honor!
