Just for You


Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing a quick and easy CAS card that I made using the sketch challenge at Happy Little Stampers.  This is such a great sketch that is easy to use ... any style of card is welcome for January's Sketch Challenge at HLS.



I bought a fun set of stamps from my local $1 store a few years back for about $3 --- what a great deal!  The flower bouquet is one of them.  I inked it up with my markers and stamped onto my card front.  Then I coloured in the blooms with a light pink marker and added a darker pink to the centers.  I added a smattering of sequins and rhinestones.  That's it!  Quick and easy, fun card that took under 10 minutes to make ... you gotta' love that! :)

I'm going to enter this into a couple of other challenges - CAS-ology #130 - cue card: Friend, and Less Is More #207 - Friends.



Today I'm taking it pretty easy, just playing in my studio and then off to take my mom to the doctor's this afternoon.  Yesterday Gord and I were lucky enough to spend the day with Cooper ... and we'll be babysitting again tomorrow.  He's such a joy to be with ... a happy, happy guy!  I'm sharing a pic that my DDIL, Nikki posted on Facebook recently (so some of you may have seen it there).  It's from his one year portrait session ... he's growing up so fast! :)



Seriously, isn't he adorable??!!  Not that I'm a biased Nana. :)

Paper:  White (Neenah)

    You're not a biased Nana at all - Cooper IS adorable! Love today's card - especially knowing it was so quick to make! Perfect placement of the sequins - I always fuss over that for ages and then never know if I got it right!

    Dear Biased Nanny. I'm not at all biased & I think he's just adorable. You can see that he's a very happy sunshine little boy. Growing up so fast! I can just bet ya'll had so much fun being with him. Am loving your stamp find, and how pretty it made up into such a beautiful CAS card. Loved the tiny flourishes and the fun sparkling gems.
