Guest Designer for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-Day 2

Hey y'all!
 *edit: For for my Neat & Tangled Release Week post, please scroll down.*



I'm back today with my second guest designer post for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog!

Here are my cards for the day.


Guess 'love is in the air' and it's not even Valentine's! lol Having some fun again, I did a little masking with my hearts. I chose a lighter pink for the big heart and a darker pink for the little heart. After, I added my arrows and topped everything off with some twine. 


For my next card, I went really simple. I used the stamp as whole with red ink and added my sentiment/arrow angled in the middle of the heart. On the end of the arrow, I added a touch of pink to it. And again, used some twine to top things off. 

Let me know what you think?!...
And again I would love it if you could please swing on over to CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog and leave some love there too! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Guest Designer for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps-Day 1

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!



Today and for the next couple days, I'm guesting over at CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog! Yay! :) Thank you sooo much Michele for having me!

Here are my cards for today.


Well...this card really came out of nowhere! lol When I saw staring at the dies and stamp set, I just kept seeing/thinking of a tire swing. Then one thing, led to another and next thing you know, I have a card with a tire swing on it. ;) 


And then there's this card. Again playing around with things, I thought a background would be pretty cool. So I rolled with it and chose to color some and leave some uncolored. After, I thought why not a gold die cut heart?!...So, one little gold heart it was! lol To finish things off, I added a banner with my sentiment on it and stapled a somewhat messy bow to hold it all together.

Let me know what you think!?!...
And I would love it if you could please swing on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps blog and leave some love there too! ;) Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hey y'all! Happy, happy, Friday!

*edit: For my guest post, please scroll down.*

I am sooo happy to be back with the CAS-ual Fridays Design Team! I truly enjoy the challenges and of course playing with the stamps!...Among a ton of other things! ;) Thank you again Michele for having me! :)


As you can see, it's all about embossing! Fun, right?!...

Here's my card.


Keeping things simple. I used CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Breathe set, along with CAS-ual Fridays Shuffle Fri-die. I used a hot pink ink and I stamped my image twice with it. Though slightly moving it down before I stamped it a second time and not re-inking it. I also not only stamped my image on my card base, but also on another piece of cardstock, so I could use the die with it. After I had my die cut piece I added my sentiment, which I embossed in gold. Once done, I used black cardstock with my die (5x) and layered my die cut pieces together. Then added it to my card. Simple, yeah?...

Be sure to swing on over to CAS-ual Fridays and see all the DT creations! While you're there, I hope you'll join in on the fun?!!...Hope to see you there! :)

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?! :)


Today, we have a brand new challenge at CAS on Sunday! And this time it's all about 'embossing' and any kind will do!...How fun is that?!...

Here's my card.


Well, when I saw embossing was our challenge, I immediately thought of the new embossing folder I recently got. Annnd I remembered my friend Amy challenged me to use it. So, that's what I did! ;) I did think of using it as my whole background, but was a little stumped. Sooo, I thought why not do some more embossing for my background by heat embossing (in white).

Hopefully, you can see the background embossing?! ;) 
I used a square die for my pineapple embossing and then added some color to it. I knew after it needed just a little something else, and what better than a wood veneer pineapple?!! ;) So, there you have it. What do you think?!...

Be sure to swing on over to CAS on Sunday and see all the DT creations! And while you're there, I hope you'll join us?!...

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!

Well, hello y'all!

Hey y'all! Hope all is well?!...

I know, I know, I've been somewhat MIA. Yes, I've been at the beach BUT, what now is taking up my free time is our kitchen. You see, a couple days ago we were seeing some water on the outside of the house that wasn't draining. So, my husband took a look at things and started trying to pinpoint where it could be coming from. Well, surprise, surprise...we not only have a leak in our pipe but we have mold! Now, we have to rip out all of our kitchen cabinets and walls and counter tops, etc.etc.etc. One BIG MESS! I always wanted to update the counter tops and things but NOT in this kind of way! lol Trying to make 'light' of the situation, though it's hard. So much money and time. Ugh.

Anyhow, on another note. I did get some free time to play along with a couple challenges! :) I'm seeing a lot of things nautical...so I thought the Casology Challenge and The Challenge were perfect to play along with! ;)



Here's my card.


I kept things real simple. Used some dies, pattern paper, did a little heat embossing with my sentiment, and used some twine, along with a wood veneer piece. Simple, yeah?!...Let me know what you think!?! ;)

Thanks for stopping by!
Enjoy your day!
