It's time for a new challenge at Addicted To CAS. I am so in love with this CAS-ual Fridays stamp set: Tutu. I love these little ballerina silhouettes with the flowered tutus and hair decorations. The sentiment I used is from one of the greatest TV pair of friends ever - Meredith and Christina from Grey's Anatomy. I just love it. I can't wait to sent it to "my person".

There's a new challenge up at Less Is More. This time it's a sketch. When I first looked at this sketch, I saw a jacket and tie. I also saw a spotlight. There are so many possibilities as you will see when you feast your eyes on the wonderful inspiration the Design Team has created.

We're joined as Guest Designer by our November 2018 winner, Toni of Frankie Helps Craft. Toni's work is fun and clever, and her coloring is awesome! Take a stroll through her blog for some wonderful inspiration.

Keeping the jacket, tie and spotlight in mind, I created this card of encouragement for my son who is a college Freshman at an extremely academically rigorous school. He is also a three season athlete.  I never saw anyone work harder than he does. His grades are fantastic, but every now and then, he gets the blues and I like to send him a hug in an envelope. So that is where I went with this sketch. I just cut 2 triangles, stamped and die cut the sentiment, and added a little heart cut from a scrap of water colored paper.

Please head on over to the Less Is More Challenge Blog and check out the wonderful creations the Design Team has come up with for your inspiration. Play with us and share your take on the sketch! I can't wait to see all the ways the shetch is interpreted.

A new year has begun and so has the first ATCAS Challenge of 2019 with code word: SNOWFLAKE. Angie, of Cimbacreativefun, is our host.

Our Guest Designer for this challenge is Hilary of Fiddling About. Treat yourself to a visit to her blog for a real treat and some wonderful inspiration.

For my card, I made a shaker with white snowflake elements, embellished with blue glittery snowflake die cuts from Paper Smooches, and sentiment from Paper Smooches Fresh Snow stamp set.

Tee Hee - Fresh sentiment!

The January Challenge is up and running at Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge. The theme is Anything Goes, and the twist is: REINDEER. For my card, I used a Stampin Up reindeer stamp that I have had in my stash for years. I embossed it with gold EP and set it on an die cut of cork to resemble a hilly terriain. The word "peace" (Jillian Vance) seemed to fit so well with the scene.

I just love this sentiment from Stamper's Anonymous Heartfelt Cling Stamp set. I paired it with this wonderful Capri Heart die from Poppystamps. It reminds me of a sand dollar, which is one of my favorite sea shells to find. I put the two together on a white linen scalloped rectangle die cut mounted on Neenah Solar White 110# card stock. It is very simple, but speaks volumes.
