FLOWERS FOR YOU - CAS STYLE

Hi, There!
Can't find flowers to look at outside so I decided to make a card with some flowers.  Daisies!  Love daisies - so here is a little bit of spring for you.  Wanted to keep this as a CAS card so I reached for my ever faithful stickers from my stash, a dark green cardstock, a Verve sentiment on a MS punch, a few rhinestones here and there,  and this is what I came up with! I slipped the back of the card inside the envelope, so that is the white you see in the photo.

Hope you have had a good week and tomorrow is Friday so I am super happy tonight!  I hope to get some digi images colored this weekend.  Have not done too much lately.  Have a great weekend and do something fun and creative for yourself.  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

LOVE CARD

Hi, There
And a Happy Valentine's Day to you a few days early.  I made this for my sister and want to send it out so she gets it in time - or perhaps not - but it's the thought that counts;)  I think she will like it as I love the image and I like her dress - I think we had a dress like this in our closet growing up.  Once again, photo makes the dress look peach instead of pink.  Hope you are staying warm, lots of snow here - I think I should make some cards with flowers to help think of Spring!  Thanks for stopping by and see you next time.  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

LOVE LETTERS

Hi There!
We are almost there to hump day for the work week!  Yeah!!  More snow here again so I am already sweating the drive to work!  Making this card took my mind off it for a while:)  After I made the card, I realized I should have used glitter on the sentiment as perhaps it would have showed up more.  I had fun making the letters that went inside the little vellum envelopes.  The ribbon and heart rhinestones are from my stash.  The paper is from BoBunny.  Next project has to be a coloring project ;)  Thanks for stopping by until next time - Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

CHELSEA - THINKING OF YOU

Hi There!
I told you it would happen - the need for this and that and this and that to arrange and rearrange!  So here is my card.  The image is from Chelsea - Artist is Hannah Lynn - one of my many favorite Crafts and Me digi images.  So much fun to color with my Copic markers and I used lots of stardust and liquid pearls and different color stickles for the inside of the treasure chest.  Papers are from K&C/Travel, for the circle image needed I used my circle punch along with a MS punch.

ALL THINGS GROW WITH LOVE

Hi, There!
I love that phrase and if my grandchildren are any example of that, I guess it is true because I love them to bits and my grandson that is only 14 yrs old is 6 feet 3 1/2 inches tall!!  Yes basketball is his thing and he has already made the varsity team!!! Proud Grandma - I am:)
Well, back to the card, after the Less Is More card, I decided to dig thru my stash box and found all these great stickers and pictures and here we go - nice and simple - some ribbon down the center, a few rhinestones in the corners, and a spring time picture!  I slipped the back of the card inside its envelope so that is the white you see in the photo. This is for my "quick card box".  Hope you have a great weekend.  I have the need to color and use my copic markers and collage away so that is my next project.  Thanks so much for all your comments, it is what makes my day so here is to all of you - blessings always,  keep a smile in your heart, Big Hugs  ~  CaroleAnn

LESS IS MORE CARD

Hi, There!
I hope you had a good week - so happy tomorrow is Friday!!!  Okay, I will admit it - I struggled with this but forged on and for whatever reason the photo did not do the card any further justice.  Yes, I am not totally pleased but I am trying to work on the less is more concept for my cards - now why would it seem easier to grab all that girly stuff and glue till my heart is content and when I want to keep it simple - it becomes a big challenge for me!  So I am going to keep at it until it does not feel so out of my comfort zone!  Wow, that was a long sentence! LOL - but thanks for peeking and I actually made more of these with different colored butterflies and sentiments for my "need a card quick box" so I am starting to get the hang of it!  Not so bad after all :)  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

I would like to enter this card for the Less Is More Challenge Sketch #8 Week 104 - You have to follow their sketch.  Check out their blog site as they have some great cards for lots of inspiration!

BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE - MOVIE INSPIRATION

Hi, There  This is my second post for Sunday so scroll down to see the first one of the day!

Well this was a most interesting challenge at Saturated Canary!  Make a card with a movie inspiration and I chose Butterflies Are Free - now I hope the image I picked resembles Goldie Hawn a little - I think ;)  and the actor in this movie was Edward Albert.  It was set in th '70's so lots of flower power going on for this.  Also, I used the sketch challenge from CLP which I loved so needless to say I had so much fun doing these challenges!  Here she is!!  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you are having a wonderful Sunday.  Hugs ~ CaroleAnn

colored with Copic markers and used stardust and liquid pearls here and there, the paper is from BoBunny/ Vicki B and so are the stickers I used.  This paper was great for this type of card.  I used die cuts for the corners and for the butterflies outside and inside.  Lots of fun!!
