Good morning you guys. Spring is really actually truly here! Can you even believe it. I'm always a little hesitant to trust the weather here in Iowa but my farm boys have planted two fields so I'm going with spring is here. Ha ha! I've been doing the typical running for the men and I have to admit that I enjoy the busy of planting season. Luckily, I had time to squeeze in a little card making time for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  I hope you will like my card:

My card for you today was super simple! I just used some glitter tape to make stripes, some thickers to spell out "Grad" and a cute stamp from Pretty Pink Posh that I colored with copics to accent the sentiment. Can't get much easier than that. I hope you liked my card today and will come join us this week at CAS(E) this Sketch.

Good morning again and happy Thursday! I hope you all are having a great week. I am sitting around waiting to see if my husband can get in the field today.  It has been raining and raining and raining. I can tell he is getting a little stressed about it and I will be happy when he has everything in and growing. Then we can all kick back and relax.

Something else that will be a bit relaxing this week is our CAS(E) this Sketch challenge. The sketch is super fun and the cards the team created are AWESOME! I hope you'll check it out. Here's the card I created using the sketch:

I still haven't learned my lesson to just make grad cards in neutral colors. I always try to go with school colors and I never end up liking them. Oh well! I do love this stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh Congrats Grad and, while I don't love my coloring, I do love the layout. So, I think I'll be having another go at this card at some point. The congrats die is from Papertrey Ink. Hopefully, it will help inspire someone to use the sketch! Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for checking out my card and I hope to see you over at CAS(E) this Sketch.

Good morning! I hope you all are having a great week. I'm waiting to hear if my husband will be able to get in the field this morning before more rain is predicted tomorrow. Here's hoping. I know he is getting anxious to get everything in a planted. I'm just anxious to share this week's CAS(E) this Sketch with you! Here's the sketch:

Here's what I created for the sketch:

I broke out this awesome yellow heart patterned paper again. I just love it and since the grads school colors are red and yellow, it worked out perfectly! I made a shaker card filled with sprinkles, hearts, and images from Pretty Pink Posh's Congrats Grad set. For the shaker frame I used rectangles from WPlus9 and finished it off with a congrats from Papertrey Ink. Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for checking out my card today and I hope you'll join us over at CAS(E) this Sketch!
