ATCAS #20

Happy Saturday everyone!

I've had a big few days with the family and tonight I am off to a craft party held by my upline demonstrator at Stampin' Up - Kim Badelt. I am taking the gorgeous Phillipa with me (aka Stalker No. 1). 

I think we are making Christmas cards tonight. Woo hoo.

We have a brand new challenge to share with you over at ATCAS.

Flo Flo (Florence) is your hostess this fortnight and has this cool code word for you -

Let you imagination run wild!! Keep it CAS, though!

Here is my DT card -

I have used a new stamp of mine - Star Tree (SU) and inked with mum's Baja Breeze (SU). On my screen the colours look a little green but they look more blue in real life. Trust me!!

Seriously, this card took me about 5 minutes to make. CAS at its best.

Over at ATCAS we are sponsored this challenge by 

The ladies over at Just Us Girls are going to have to trust me that this colour is BLUE as I am entering into their current challenge -

ATCAS #17

A lateish post for me. I was too busy enjoying my birthday that I forgot to schedule my post, whoops!! Thanks to all you lovely ladies who have sent me cards. They were all amazing!!!

We have a new challenge just begun over at Addicted to CAS. Our wonderful host for this challenge is Loll and she has chosen this code word for you -

This is a great code word that has endless possibilities!!

I wanted to create a birthday card for my 4 year old nephew who celebrated his birthday the day before mine.

Here is my DT card -



This stamp is from a set that I had purchased from our sponsor. It is called Sails, Subs and Tugs.

I have used chalks to colour in the image. I thought he would like a bright orange based card instead of boring old white :)

Our wonderful sponsor this fortnight is





and they are offering a $15 gift voucher to their store!!

Pop on over to the challenge blog and check out the amazing inspiration from the DT.

ATCAS #16 - TAKE FLIGHT

Hellooooooo!!

Happy Saturday!! I hope you are having better weather than I am right now! Heaps of rain. I may have to get the boat ready in case the waters rise!! lol.

We have a brand new challenge starting right now over at Addicted to CAS. 

Here is your code word -

The wonderful and talented Karen is your host this week. We also have a wonderful sponsor!

Our CAS Perfectionist will receive a prize of 4 images of your choice from the store!!

Here is my DT card -

I decided to use a bird stamp for my interpretation of Take Flight. I could have used butterflies but I thought it was a little predictable. So, I decided to use a brand new stamp set from SU which is a sneak peek of a hostess set that will be available when the new catalogue arrives - It is called Simply Sketched and has a gorgeous assortments of stamps. The little 'splats' that I have used is from my new set called 'French Foliage' (SU). I have seen it around in blog land for quite a while and have finally got it!!

I simply coloured the image with different SU markers and stamped onto Whisper White cardstock, chopped off the corners with a small circle punch and popped it up on dimensionals onto Crumbcake cardstock. Voila!!

I can't wait to see all the interpretations of this code word so get cracking and join us over at the challenge blog!

ATCAS #12 - Rainbow

Well our code word over at ATCAS this challenge should put a smile on your face! I LOVE rainbows!

Christine is your host for this challenge and I loved it when she chose this word.

Here is my DT card -

I have used an image from our sponsor over at Clear Dollar Stamps called 'Happy Rainbow'. I have paper pieced the image and then used a sentiment from my Sunny Days stamp set.

The paper I have used are from some Cricut paper pads that I had laying around. They are very bright and very fun. I used a small circle punch to cut the corners off my panel and bottom of the base.

Now, head on over to the challenge blog where you will find awesome inspiration from the ladies on the DT.

ATCAS #10 - Friend

Hello!! How are you? I hope you are having a great start to your weekend.

Over at Addicted to CAS we have a brand new challenge for you. This challenge is hosted by Natasha who has chosen this code word for you -

I was helped with my card by using the sketch over at Keep it Simple and I was also inspired by the challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays.

Here is my DT card for ATCAS -

I really struggled to get a nice photo of this. Must be because it is overcast today (not because of my skills).

The cardstock is actually Very Vanilla but it really doesn't look it, does it? This is the sketch that I followed over at Keep it Simple -

and the challenge at CAS-ual Fridays is

I was also going to enter this in the challenge at Less is More (Scallops) but I was too late. My scallop is my interpretation of a flower. I have inked around my Crumbcake cardstock with Whisper White ink.

The chevron paper is from my Festival of Prints stack. My sentiment is from my Friendly Phrases set (how appropriate for our 'Friend' challenge).

Well, I hope to see you over at the challenge blog because we are sponsored by
