A quick CAS Card to share… Challenges: CASology– Flowers CAS on Sunday Sketch CASual Fridays– three thirds
Happy Day!
Happy Day! This is my interpretation of the sketch challenge this week on SCS. I made a hybrid digi card. I printed and cut my image and popped it up on dimensional foam tape in place of the main image panel. I added a button for the circle element. I used digi papers for my paper strip panel. They are printed directly onto the main card frame, along with the sentiment at the bottom. Challenges: Crafty Creations – Happy Birthday Have a creative day! Deena

Inspired by the Featured Stamper today on Splitcoaststampers; I made this birthday cupcake card. It’s also a sneak peak of the images and digital papers to come in March! Have a creative day! Deena
Tangerine Dream Birthday
December 2nd already!! Only 23 days till Christmas! WHAAaaaat? Well I thought it might be a nice change to show something not Christmas related since everywhere we turn soon, that is all we’ll see! Not that I have anything against Christmas! It just gets a little overwhelming by times don’t you think? I recently made a bundle of birthday cards and thought I’d start by sharing this one today. I punched 6 squares in coordinating patterned papers and used a lovely tangerine colored cardstock to layer them on. I then stamped the happy birthday sentiments over the papers and added a few tiny gems here and there. 3 simple steps really, and I love the results!

Oh, My! Melting Snowman
Have you noticed that I love to make CAS cards? Well I do!! Today’s CAS card made me laugh, and I hope it will make you smile too! The inside sentiment reads: I’m so sorry I missed your birthday! The image is one of my own ACN digis now available in my SHOP. I created the sentiment using My Memories Software and printed the card front. It’s popped up using dimensional tape on a red panel and mounted to a white card base. I’m entering these CHALLENGES: Creative Moments– CAS/Anything Goes Artistic Inspirations– Use a sentiment Love to Scrap!

First Birthday
We celebrated my Great Nephew’s 1st birthday last weekend! He is so adorable!! I thought I’d show you the card I made for him with a little help from My Memories Software. This is actually a ONE LAYER card, but I’ve used shadowing to help create the look of layers. I also added 3 gems for some sparkle. And here is the little prince with his cake! Have a great day!

Have a Beautiful Day!
My favorite flowers are ORCHIDS. In any color. I think they have an elegant and seductive quality about them, don’t you? I was in the mood for something pretty today and colored my Orchids in shades of pink lilac. I wish you all a beautiful day! Deena
