Here we go loop-di-loo!

Getting loopy with CAS-ual Friday! This week's challenge was to create a CAS project using a ribbon tab or loop. I chose to do both :)

To My Friend

(CFC22)

No supplies were harmed in the making of this card! 
Cardstock :: Whisper White
Stamp :: "to my friend" from the Longfellows set (SU)
Ink :: Riding Hood Red
Embellishments :: Paper butterflies, pearl dots, ribbon
Tools :: 1 3/4" Circle punc, corner rounder

Aaaaand, because it's World Card Making Day, I thought I'd do one more. This one isn't for any challenge, just because I wanted to use the Timeless Portaits DSP, and the clocks seemed to be perfect for a 'missing you' theme.

Missing You

No supplies were harmed in the making of this card, either! 
Cardstock :: River Rock (SU), Basic Black (SU)

Paper :: "Timeless Portraits" DSP (SU)
Stamp :: "Missing You" from some random set...

That is all... :)

CAS-ual Friday

This week's challenge at CAS-ual Fridays was "Mostly Monochromatic" - using 3 shades of a colour of your choice, plus brown. A little bit of structure, and still the freedom to choose the colour you want!

I chose yellow. Maybe it's the feeling of fall... maybe it's just because I had papers that "called" to me. Whatever the reason, I chose yellow - and I don't even really like yellow :P

Love

Stamp :: Essence of Love (SU)

Embellishments :: Cappuccino twine (The Twinery)

Getting ready for fall...

TGIF!!

There has never been a better Friday! Glorious, glorious Friday! Gotta get down on Friday!

CAS-ual Friday's challenge this week was a clean & simple card featuring embossing. I was thrilled to see that I had an 'excuse' to use my new Cuttlebug!

With a baby shower coming up next weekend, I thought I should make a couple more 'thank you' cards to be prepared! It's going to be a small, (very) intimate gathering, so I'm trying to make all cards different.

Baby Thank You

Let the unwinding begin!

The party is over, we're all mostly recovered, and another work week has begun. Fortunately, this is the last workweek for me! Yay :)

To celebrate, I kept it casual today. So casual in fact, that I didn't get out of pyjama's, and I went and visited CAS-ual Fridays for my challenge inspiration! Amidst all of this casual-ness, I actually managed to get some work work done as well. Somehow though, I still don't feel prepared to leave at all!

CAS-ual Fridays had a nice sketch to work with, and I was feeling in the mood for something sunny without being overly summery (since summer, sadly, is drawing to an end).

A Day to Celebrate
