You are the BEST - CAS(E) this sketch!

You are the BEST!

Well, some people are just the BEST!
I love some of the people that visit my Blog, you know who you are, 
you cheer me on no matter what, you make me feel like
I can take on anything, and you MATTER.
Because you make ME Matter.

Especially after just getting over the BUG the last
few days.  Feeling miserable, you pretty much love
some kind words.
Thanks for being here.

Well, onto another CRAZY card.  Forgive me, 
after I watch RUNWAY, or the NEW Under the GUNN, 
I get Wackadoo and just dream up anything!!

Here's my Wackadoo Card

within the square cutouts!

I think it is FUN!

CASology CUE Card #80: Purple!


Today, the CASology TEAM and I give you PURPLE!
in it's REGAL glory!

This embossed and die cut card was done by using an Anna Griffin Plate
It was a larger plate that I cut down to what you see. I was surprise that once I added the rubber
piece, and used the die cut, it took this one try,
 I LOVE 
when I am happy with my new toys...(the first try!)!

Last week we had CONTRAST, and I know we had a refresher on CAS.
[And, being a scrapbooker, mini album maker - turned card maker, I know it is hard to restrain.]

For this card, here is how I am KEEPING it CAS:
1 Layer Card
1 Die Image
1 Color
1 Neutral Accent Color (Black)
1 Sentiment
Balanced Design
LOTS of open uncluttered white or "free" space!
Minimal Steps - Minimal Time = Easy to recreate!

Let's see how CAS
YOU can Get!!
 {here!}

This is a close up.  It looks like I have 2 flowers here, 
Nope, It is one and it was cut and embossed at the same time.  
Maybe I did it wrong, and the embossing portion shifted, 
either way, it is embossed on the edge appearing to be layered.
Then I just took a white signo uniball and put a few dots, stamped a sentiment
adhered the flower....
Done!!  EASY.

I think this card is richly elegant, yet still a single layer with some texture.

Spring's Soft Dream - Cure for The Monday Blues #2

The picture is a dream.
I used the inspiration of the butterflies fluttering about a mirror.
Then I found myself looking
back from the mirror, like a dream.

Bo Bunny - Memory Nest Monday Scrapbook Sketch

Bo Bunny - Memory Nest Monday Scrapbook Sketch


I know most of you wandering over here are cardmakers!
Well... I get excited over papers too,!!!
And I love to highlight favorite photos.
I don't really call it scrapbooking but I guess it is....I just love to highlight
my favorite photos with beautiful papers.
So scrapbooking it is...

I was just "looking" at a scrap shop I hardly ever go to.
This Bo Bunny Zip-a-dee-doodle collection really caught my eye.
I knew the photo I wanted to highlight with it.

My iphone does not do 12x12's very well, 
So I took a close one and the Rub ons blacks showed better.




Supplies:
Bo Bunny Zip-a-dee-doodle Crackle
Grey, White, Black Cardstock

Organizing

Organizing

Today was funny.  I pulled alot of my stamps out, they are in a jumbles mess in
plastic bins, and wanted to go get more organizing bins for them,
maybe smaller, or I don't know.
Well AMY T sent a photos of a small bin, and they were pretty cool.
I thought, wow those are so cute, I can't afford those.
I proceeded to buy some 40% off bins at Michael's.
uggh they didn't fit right in the shelves.I could only fit in two...
Just a little smaller and three would squeeze..but no.

I read her post again... Did she say $ spot at Target... That means $1.  (?!!!)
Well, Target there I went. 
 I actually went to 2 the first one had 6, the second a few more.
I also was already on my way to buy some sleeves at Office Depot to put the clear sets in..
So Today, alot of organizing.

Here are a few Before's

On the left is my Dies, What a MESS.
On the Right, a typical bin of stamps.  Bleccchhh.

Okay, Now I have organized the embossing folders, 
and below the dies, look awesome.
I still have alot of Savvy Stamps Dies that will be organized...
The mini Target bins fit  4 to the shelf, and not squeezed, just right!!!!!


I have a shelf just for Wood Mount Christmas!...
Now if only all of them were there............eeeeegads.
Eventually., I am getting there slowly



So if I purchased 9 mini bins, that is $9.
The slightly larger White Wire Mesh Bins from Micheal's were on sales for $3.99
9 x 3.99 = $35.91 +tx
I will be taking those back saving almost $27!!
So YAY!!

On the downside I really need a lot of those sleeves.  
I ran through 100 already...
And I haven't even gotten to my Stampendous...Inkadinkadoo, Fresh Squeezed, Avocado Arts... Basically everything Misc. else..
or the 2 bins full of PTI.. 

Hey, in the end, I will be FABULOUSLY organized!
