ATCAS #267 - Just a Note


The latest Addicted to CAS #267 Just a Note challenge is way easy, I swear.  


I used the LF You're a Keeper set to create a cuter than cute birthday card.  Those little speckles on the netting?  Clear Wink of Stella is apparently too glamorous to capture with a camera.


Check out the card interior!  I told you:  cuter than cute!

CAS on Friday #292 - Thank You


For the latest CAS on Friday challenge I used my BetterPress system along with the included plates to create a simple friendship/thank you card.

I added some gold watercolor accents to the stamens.  Love that combo of gold and peacock feathers!

SOSS #254 - A for Autumn


Are you ready for another Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge?  Of course, you are!  Or are you like Winifred and mornings can suck it?


I personally love sunny mornings but that's largely because I live in the Seattle area where sunlight isn't a guarantee.  Just that bit of sun to start my day really makes such a difference.
