CAS in Rich Razzleberry

 

Hello!  Okay, so I didn't fall off the face of the earth....it may just seem that way!  I have been busily working on some wedding invitations for a friend that I finished a few minutes ago.  They really have consumed my life for the last two weeks.  I had a minute today to work on a card before I picked up the last piece of the invitations.

I decided to give the CAS card challenge on Splitcoast stampers this week (CAS159)!  The challenge this week was just colours - Rich Razzleberry and White!  I love rich razzleberry.   I don't use it too often so it was fun to get it out and play along!

I made the bottom card first and wasn't happy so I decided to try the top one and was happier with the results!

Sketch Challenge Valentine

Happy Sunday!

I do hope everyone is having an enjoyable weekend.  We had a few bumps in our day yesterday but in the end we did have a nice weekend with some wonderful weather.  Have you thought about your word yet for 2012?  I have finally decided on mine.  It took a lot of thought and some consultation with those much wiser than I but I have chosen "Joy"...or "Choose Joy".  This is a concept which I struggle with and I need to change.  Not only do I want to be full of joy, I want to bring joy to others around me in whatever way I can.  I'm excited to hear what words you've chosen so feel free to share!


I decided to participate in a sketch challenge this week. There are tons of card challenges on the internet.  This one is by "Freshly Made Sketches".  I love this blog and refer to it often for ideas!

Here is this week's sketch.  All you have to do is follow it!  It's fabulous and I was excited to use some of the products from the Stampin' Up Occasions Mini Catalogue!

Here's my card1  I used the new PS I Love You stamp set as well as the new Fashionable Heart Emosslits Die.  I thought it was cute for Valentine's Day!  Try out the sketch challenge today!  It's a super easy way to jump start your creativity!
