CAS-ual Fridays

Welcome to another CAS-ual Fridays Challenge.

Here is this week's theme

CFC66


Use things you might find in the water-ocean, lake, pool etc on your project.

And this week's challenge is sponsored by stopandscrap.com


Stop and scrap is giving away $20 gift certificate for the winner of the challenge:)

Here is my take on the challenge.

I have used three different stamp sets on this card. I have used the boat from Masculine Motif from PTI and the sentiment from Life stamp set from PTI again. The adorable fishes is from Fish More stamp set from Wplus9. I free cut all the waves from different blue cardstock. I love how the waves turned out and like how the sentiment is profound but suits the card. Hope you do too.

Check CAS-ual Friday's blog to see more inspirations from Design Team Members and don't forget there will be project on Facebook everyday.

Now it is your turn to play.

Good Morning!

I have been keeping a secret for sometime.It is time to share it.
 I am joining Andrea and her talented design team at AnnaBelle Stamps as a Design Team member. Yay!

Happy Happy Birthday!


Hiya!

Gorgeous Wednesday! Had a day off today. Lot of work got done. Very happy.
Sorted out Charlie's chewing issue. I need to thank Lorena Canto for giving me an awesome tip of giving frozen carrots. This is the first time in two days, Charlie has not gone chewing stuff around the house. Apart from that we also gave him couple of big balls to play with and he runs around with the ball like a kitten lol! Of course more toys and bones. Hopefully he will be occupied with his toys and stop stressing out.

Anyway, I am sharing this card I made for RetroSketches #24.

Supplies:
Cardstock: Stampers Select White from PTI
Stamp Sets: happy Hydrangeas, Fillable Frames and Gracious Vases from PTI
Inks: Kiwi Kiss, Tempting Turquoise, Summer Sun and Real Red from SU. Archival Jet Black ink
Accessories: Woodgrain embossing folder from Craft Concept. Happy Hydrangeas and Gracious vases dies from PTI.

Here is the sketch for you.

Be Adventurous!


Happy Tuesday Everybody!

A quick share today.
 I played with some Deasy Design's digital stamps using photoshop over the weekend.
I had some time colour yesterday and here is the card I made.


How cute is that image? I enjoyed adding the clouds on the background and three images at different sizes and the sun. Also I like how the card is balanced diagonally from the sun across to the sentiment, covering the entire plane in the center. I love how this card came together beautifully! Just not very happy with the colours on the balloons though:(

Thanks so much from stopping by!

Have a great day!

Keep Calm and.....


 Monday today. What should I say? Not a great start to the week for me. Woke up this morning to find Charlie, my dog had chewed up his bed to bits:(  This is this third bed in 6 months and I am very frustrated. He has plently of toys, bones around the house and he chooses to chew his bed!!!  I have to get to this habit of his and sort it out, very soon.
 
Anyway,  sharing a card I made for Moxie Fab World's Minty Fresh Challenge.


I have used  Vintage Rides Stamp Set from The Craft's Meow on my card. I love minty green scooters. I remember my dad had one of them. A Vespa Green scooter. Very beautiful and retro with shiny chrome rim. We were sad to let it go for a car when my brother came along. Mmm!

So, I stamped the scooter on a Aqua Mist cardstock and cut it out. I paired the green scooter with a retro pink colour background to highlight it. I kept the card simple and colour blocking works with retro. The sentiment suits my current situation lol!  I love it. Hope you do too.
 
 Thanks for stopping by! 
I will plan to sort out Charlie's chewing habit.

Oh! I have a great news to share soon:)
