I've been a little absent from crafty land the past couple of days due to reorganizing and cleaning in my craft space. BD put some new shelves in my closet over Christmas break and I finally got around to pulling most everything out of there and finding it a new home. It looks SO much better and it's much easier to acesss some of my goodies. Especially my vinyl. Wow. It was a mess - to the point it was hard to know what colors I had. Now I've got it all together. I didn't get into my craft desk and clean out much. I did some purging and will try to unload some of those items pretty soon, but I still have one drawer in my desk that really badly needs a good organzing. Not sure when I will tackle that one. I need to be "in the mood" to get into that! Everytime I open it --- UGH. and then I shut it again, rather quickly!
I had a brief time in here last night and made a couple of quick, CAS cards.
For this card, I used the Mama Elephant Party Kit stamp set and four different pink inks, CTMH Cotton Candy and Baby Pink, PTI's Rasberry Fizz and Hibiscs Burst. I stamped the bows in Avery Elle's Fog pigment ink. The birthday sentiment is PTI's Keep It Simple: Birthday stamp set. I loved how the font kind of matched with the balloons.
I am playing along with The Card Concept's One Year Anniversary inspiration challenge.
My next card is more Candy Cane Christmas fun (SSS stamp set). I wanted to play along with the One Layer Christmas Card Challenge blog.
I went very CAS with the peppermint stamp, a sentiment from Hero Arts, and adhesive pearl bling. That's all!
I am also playing along with Virginia's View Challenge, Clean Slate. :)
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit!
God Bless,
