Good Wednesday Morning.........

my friends. Hope you all are doing well and are ready for a little something :D.

I wanted to post these cards yesterday, but my computer was not acting right, so I had to wait for hubby to come home and have a look. All is well, so I hope this goes through. My first card is for this weeks, well, Monday's CAS (Clean And Simple) challenge over at SCS. This card is real simple, maybe a little too simple, but I had fun making it :D.


HELLO





Recipe:


Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, K&Company Wild Saffron


Ink: Chalk Box peach pastel, burnt sienna for softening the edges of the flower center, SU Chocolate Chip for the sentiment


Stamp: Hello from the Inkadinkado Set Occasion I bought last year at Costco


Accessories: EK Success edger punch, Prima in rust, circle punches in 1 3/8" and 1 1/2", dimensionals

This card started out as a 5.5"x5.5" card but after I decided I wanted to use my new EK Success edger punch it shrunk ;P to about 5 1/4"x5 1/4". But I really like that edge. I think I am getting a little addicted to this CAS thing. If you want to find out more about this challenge here is the link http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=428988

For people like me, who like lots of embellishments and ribbon and stuff it is truly a CHALLENGE!!!! But it is kind of fun to step out of the normal and try something new:D.

The second card is one that I made a little while ago, but did not feel as though it was worth posting. When I got my new Cricut cartridge Storybook I just had to play around for a while, you all know how that goes, right? You get a new toy and you just gotta try it out. So while I was trying it out I ran across this cool border function and I cut it at the normal size and let me tell you it was huge!!!! So I scaled it down to only 1.5 " and it came out perfect for an A2 card

Many Thanks

What you all think about this one? Maybe I should not have posted it. I did like the border but I am not sure how it all came together.

All right, this is it for now. I'll have to go and do my chores ;P. Lots of clothes to wash and put 2 baskets I washed and dried last night to put away. Groceries, and some other errands, so I hope I'll get to play at least for a minute later this afternoon.

Thanks so much for stopping by my friends.

Hugs,
