We're asking you to feature "nature" on your projects for the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge #263.

I'm entering this in BYSH Christmas in July Linky Party.

CAS on Friday #288 - Circles

Over at the CAS on Friday Challenge we're asking that you use circles on your card.  Easy, right?!

I wondered if I could use my new circle hot foil plates all at once.  The answer is yes but it was a pain to tape it then position it then wave my magic wand to get it to come out nicely.  I'm just glad it's over.

But I do like the results.  I decided to watercolored the various circles because I wanted bright but also easy since all that hot foiling wore me out!  LOL.

ATSM #472 - Christmas

It's Christmas in July for the latest Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #472. 

I used up a Brusho background that I was loathe to cover up but how could I showcase it but still make the sentiment visible?  My dusty Poppy Stamps Snowflake Oval Collage to the rescue!  Bonus that I was able to use a die from my stash that doesn't get nearly enough love.

This would be perfect for a make 'n' take with all sorts of possibilities to use behind the snowflake panel.  Hate that piece of designer paper but love the colors? World's ugliest watercolor experiment? Boom.  Cover it up!

Treat to Work With

I wanted to make a couple of cards for coworkers to thank them for helping put in some challenging grants recently. Our team is small but mighty skilled if I must say so myself.

I made the cards similar using largely the same products but different colors, etc. Check out how the change in stenciled background, designer paper color, and critters makes such a difference in look.  And notice I used the same Copics for both.

I'm entering the first card in Lawn Fawnatics #176 Fun with Food and the second in Paper Players #697 Summer Fun.

SOSS #252 - L for Lindsey

At the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers we're paying homage to our former teamie, Lindsey, lover of cats and all things purple.

As a fellow cat lover, I always think of cats when I think of Lindsey so featured a bunch of cats on my card.  Of course, it's snarky too.  Duh!
