CAS(E) this Sketch #47

Oh, such a pretty sketch from Chrissy Larson! Love the wave-y motion! I made this card many times and finally settled on the first version with the oh-so-lovely Avery Elle sequins. Or perhaps the simplified version #2?
Please join us in creating with CTS #47!

CAS(E) this Sketch #46

Hi all! Welcome to CTS #46, with a lovely and oh-so-versatile sketch by Karolyn Loncon.  I wanted to give my SSS Monthly Kit a little (very little!) workout and use some things that I normally do not (i.e. the tiny and adorable wood veneer shapes and some brighter, less pastel-y colors). Kinda makes me think outside of  my creative box. It's a good thing! Also, I'm still working on finding that "perfect" photo taking spot in our new home - your patience is much appreciated!
So.... please join us over at CAS(E) this Sketch and give it a go!

CAS(E) this Sketch #45

Greetings! I am so glad to join in with the CTS gals again! After looking at many of the new stamp releases, I guess that I was feeling some of that holiday spirit (and a few of my stamps are feeling a bit neglected)! Although, it still seems way too early..... considering the fact that the temps are hovering around 90 today!

Anyway, a very simple card for my addled brain. Still unpacking and finding the need to search for every little thing. BUT, we are on the upswing so I can feel some creativity/productivity comin'. I only wish that a POD full of stuff, delivered this very morning, was not sitting in the middle of the driveway!

CAS(E) this Sketch #44....The Good News Should Always Come First!

First, some really GREAT news..... I am a new member of the CAS(E) this Sketch Design Team! I am thrilled to be creating with some amazingly talented women and am so looking forward to my very first DT experience!

Please take a peek at CTS #44 and join in the fun!

We have made the move from our neighborhood of 25 years to a new home! I hope to be more productive once we tackle a bit of the unpacking. Yup, that would be the bad news. Jeez, just look at that mess in the unfinished basement! The upside, however, is three windows (yay, lots of natural light!) and a door to a lovely backyard! Wish me luck in establishing my new craft space!
I look forward to joining the CTS crew and can't wait to see what you've created!

CTS #42

I may have mentioned (about a billion times) that I really should be sorting, purging and packing. BUT, card making is so much more fun! 

In digging through the mess I've found many, many bits and pieces..... created goodness knows how long ago. So, using up some of those bits and playing along with CTS #42!

Monogram Mania

Well.... I am be just a bit obsessed with my new Wplus9 stamps - Monogrammed and Banner Basics (I got a few others too, of course!). So lovely! I made a set of notecards for my mother. I made a set for my mother-in-law. Perhaps another for moi?? Inspiration abounds... look here, here or here! 

CASE Study Challenge #150

Hi all! Hope that you are weathering the high temps! I am hiding out in my nice, cool basement while creating for the CASE Study Challenge #150! I love Jocelyn's bright colors, the circular pattern, and all of that lovely white space.... although, my version is a bit softer!
