CASometry Challenge #5

Well, here we are at the end of the CAS-ometry Challenge.  Five CAS cards using the same set.  I must say that this was harder for me than I thought - even though I love the set.  I didn't realize how difficult clean and simple is for me!!

For today's challenge we needed to CASE a card from the Pinterest Board.  Here's my card...

and I CASE'd this gorgeous card here...

The gal's blog is all in Russian, though, so I can't even tell you her name.  I just loved the simple scalloped edge, the watercoloring in an oval and the pop of red.  So sweet!

Here's a parade of my other 4 cards...

Thanks for such a fun challenge, Anna!!

CASometry #4

It's week four of the CASometry challenge where I'm using the sweet Better with You set by Neat and Tangled to make 5 cards!   I can't wait to see what next week's challenge will be!!

I watercolored my image, taking my color scheme from this pretty patterned paper by Gina K. 

Thanks for looking!

CAS-ology #3

Hi everyone!

My daughter is visiting this week from Florida, so I'm not stamping a ton, but I wanted to be sure to get in my entry for part 3 of the CAS-ometry challenge!  This time I followed a sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Thanks for dropping by!

CASometry - Take Two and Giveaway Winner!

Good morning!

I'm back with my second card for the CASometry Take 2 challenge using the sweet Better Together set from Neat and Tangled.  I had fun making a little scene today using some watercoloring and patterned paper.

This makes me think of my son when he was little.  I could just picture him standing there with his stuffed animal and being SO proud of himself  for having written this on my wall... and having no idea why I wasn't as thrilled to have him practice his handwriting in red marker!

I'm also entering this in the Paper Players challenge to make a CAS card with a wild animal on it.  Of course, my wild animal is stuffed, but... :)  I'll tuck this in the monthly Little Tangles challenge, too!

And the winner of the Better Together set, per Random.org, is #6 which is ... BRANDI R!

Be sure to contact me with your address, Brandi!!

Blessings!

Owl Send You a Hug

When I was browsing through my Feedly this morning I found mention of a CASometry challenge by Anna Kossakovskaya where you use the same stamp set for 5 different challenges.  I ran downstairs to create, since the first round is almost over.  My set will be this sweet Better Together set from Neat and Tangled (remember, there's still a few days to enter for the one I'm giving away!).

I needed some inspiration, of course, so I decided to play along with the Time Out Challenge to CASE Kay Miller.  Here's my card...

Soft and sweet colors, coloring and a few sequins.  Sigh.  What a fun challenge, Anna!  Thank you!!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Neat and Tangled Giveaway

Hello friends!

Look what my daughter got me for Mother's Day -- this super sweet Better Together set from Neat and Tangled that I had absolutely fallen in love with.   I was all ready to buy it myself earlier last week and she had to tell me it was already coming, so I ordered the dies to match and some sequins instead.   I feel sooooo blessed!

For my first card with my favorite little girl in the set, I made a little shaker element with some of the pearl necklace sequins, as well as a few pink ones that were included with my order.  I watercolored the little girl and her pal with distress markers and Tombow markers and cut her out with the dies.  Love!!

To give her dress a paper pieced look, I simply dabbed a few different color pink markers on her dress and blended here and there - ever so lightly - with water.  I added some white highlights with a gel pen and popped her up over the background.

Now, here's the fun part!

There was a little mix up on my order and I received an extra stamp set, so the gals at Neat and Tangled said I could share it with one of YOU!! (Which is super cool, because it is sold out on the site right now! :) )  Soooooo.... to enter, simply leave a comment on this post and come back and visit again sometime!  It would also be nice for you to 'like' the Neat and Tangled FaceBook Page, but that's not required.  And it would be nice if you'd share the giveaway with your friends, but that's not required either. : )  Be sure to comment here by Sunday night, May 15th and I'll announce the winner on Monday, OK?

Here's a picture of the full set...

Isn't it SO cute????

Thanks so much for dropping by!  

Ooooo - I just saw that there is a Neat and Tangled Anything Goes challenge live!  I'm entering this over there. :) And I'm putting this in the Girly challenge at Love to Scrap, too!
