Friend . . . Take 2

 With friend supplies already on my desk, decided to create another card inspired by the supplies and the challenge at Addicted to CAS where this week's code word was "friends". 

This card was inspired by the word prompt. I wanted to be sure to keep it simple and went with the washi and dies to create my card. I used some layers to add interest.

I can always count on Pinkfresh to a lovely design.

You're So Fly

A pun was the challenge for Addicted to CAS. 

I've been pulling old items from my stash. It's an endless supply of items that are all still very relevant.

Matched my colors to the paper, and a pun was born. 

Just go get CAS and punny!

Presents for Addicted to CAS

Did a little paper piecing for Addicted to CAS, inspired as well by an inspirational photo at StampNation (my favorite crafty place).

Paper piecing is one of my favorite techniques for using pattern paper.  These little guys were so tiny!  

Hope you find some time to get inked up today!

Apples for Addicted to CAS and Teachers!

Sharing a card in celebration of CAS and APPLES . . . which I've not eaten in 16 months.  I can still stamp them, and so I did . . . for Addicted to CAS . . .

My card doesn't seem too CAS . . . it must be that pattern paper.  

The stamped image itself is pretty CAS . . .

I hope you find sometime to create today!

Soda Pop Creations!

While I mostly make cards these days, I do make scrapbook pages once in a while.  When my layout is complete, I will typically take the leftover supplies and trim them down into card-sized panels and pieces.  I remembered having those supplies, and with two challenges in mind, I went digging through my shoe box of scraps.  I pulled out some pieces to make a card honoring one of my favorite beverages, root beer. I gave up soda a year ago, and man do I miss my diet root beer! 

Again, keep in mind that the paper was leftover from a layout.  The colors in this card were inspired by Club Cool, an attraction at EPCOT at Walt Disney World.

Stamp Ink Paper inspired this first one . . . #146, which is food or drink. 

That colorful strip of paper reminds me of bubbles.   

And a bottle and straw for the inside of the card . . . 

And while this next one is not CAS, I was inspired by the code word "bubbles" from Addicted to CAS.  Perhaps a little busy for CAS, but I was inspired none the less.  And because I had more supplies, I just had to make another.

It has an open bottle . . . and the sequins are like bubbles.  My imagination runs wild. 

Such a fun stamp set to pull back out and play with.  

And remember . . . I said there was a layout where these scraps came from. Created it back in January.  Club Cool!  Soda pop from around the world. 

I hope you find some time to create today.
