CASology Challenge #123 - Eat; Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes

Hi there blog friends,
I'm playing along again in this week's challenge at CASology, and the Cue Card is 'Eat'! Perfect for those of us in the U.S. who celebrated Thanksgiving this week! I searched in the Silhouette store and found this fun image of a chef, and created this card:

So, I die cut the chef and added the sentiment called Segoe Script from the internet. The scalloped border is from Mama Elephant Femme Frames, and the enamel dots are from Studio Calico.

 The theme for this week's Wednesday challenge at Simon Says Stamp is 'Anything Goes', so I would like to submit this card there, as well.

Thanks so much for stopping by ~

Deck the Halls with Merry Monday

Hello there blog friends,
I have another quick post to share a card I created for this week's challenge at Merry Monday! I've never played in this challenge before, but when I heard that my super talented and really sweet friend Betty is Guest Designer this week, I just had to play along! And the challenge is to use stripes, polka dots or both on a Christmas card. 

Here is my card:

As you can see, I used both. My tree was die cut with Lawn Fawn 'Let's Polka' patterned papers, and the stripes for the background were made with Lil' Inkers 'Stitches and Stripes' die. The sentiment is from MFT, and was embossed with Hero Arts gold embossing powder. The gems are also Hero Arts.

So, that's it for me! I told you it was a quick post :)

I hope everyone is having a great week ~

And the Winner is....

Hi everyone ~
Thank you all for stopping by during my announcement last week with your congratulations and good wishes! The winner of my Blog Candy is ~
Sarah Gray! Sarah left a comment on June 15th stating that her favorite technique is 'Emboss Resist’. Congratulations, Sarah! Please email me (barbghig@yahoo.com) with the stamp set of your choice from the a2z Scrapbooking Store, and your personal information, and I will get your prize in the mail asap!

I also have a card to share today. The Code Word this week at Addicted to CAS Challenge is ‘Sun’! So, I inked up my brand new ‘My Sunshine’ stamp set from Mama Elephants’ latest release, and got busy:

I stamped the sun rays with yellow pigment ink, and added the boy and girl bunny from the ‘Honey Bunny’ stamp and die set. Popped on those cute little white pom-poms, a few clear sequins, and a sweet sentiment. I also added a touch of Wink of Stella clear glitter to the bunny ears. I think this would be the perfect card for my granddaughter (age 7), when I just want to say ‘hello’.


And...since this card qualifies for Darnell's NBUS Challenge,I would also like to enter it there, too! If you're not familiar with this term, NBUS stands for 'never-before-used-schtuff'...gotta love her!!! :-)

I hope everyone had a wonderful and relaxing weekend, and that your week is off to a great start! Thanks so much for stopping by!
