JOY!

Hi Everyone,

at Less is More they want to see GREEN and BLUE - a gorgeous color combination. And at Addicted to CAS the theme is JOY. Had to combine the two.
Also had to take a break from making Christmas cards... If I think about joy that cute little elephant form Happy Little Stampers comes to mind - he is just so joyful!


I took some distress stains and slammed them onto my cardstock. Stamped the elephant and die cut the letters - they are by Papertrey. I did not quite clean my paintbrush, so the Y is a combination of green and blue - forgive me LIM.....Put some glossy accents on the balloon.


I hope I brought a little bit of joy into your life!
Happy Stamping!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
