Good morning and happy Thursday!!  This is a super special day for me.  My oldest, the boy who made me a mom, is 15 today.  It seems like just yesterday that he was born, scaring the crap out of his dad and I.  I can't imagine life without this awesome kid.  He's such a joy to have around and I love that we can talk, laugh, and enjoy each others company.  Happy birthday, Isaac!!!

On another fun note this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge is great AND it's a two-week challenge because of Thanksgiving next week.  So, that gives you plenty of time to play along.  Here's what I created:

I just love the simplicity of this card and our sketch.  I used the Lil' Inker Designs Brushed Plaid Stamps to add some embossed gold painted lines to my patterned paper from my favorite Christmas paper pack, First Noel.  Next, I layered that on a piece of gold paper for some shine before adding it to my card base.  I finished it off with one of the card stock cuts in the First Noel Die Cut pack popped with some foam squares.  Simple and easy!

Thanks for checking out my card, you won't want to miss this week's challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch!  See you there.

Good morning, you guys!  I hope you are enjoying your week and are ready to play along with another awesome CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  We have an awesome guest designer this week and the design team really made some awesome cards.  I just know you'll love the sketch and have a blast creating.  Here's what I came up with:

Another super simple Christmas card for you this week.  I didn't have to stamp or die cut!  I just started with a black card base and added this fun and simple paper from the Kaisercraft First Noel paper pack.  Then I added some of the fun trees from the coordinating die cut pack.  Finally, I added this fun shiny sentiment also from the die cut pack popped with a little foam.  Can you tell I am totally getting my money's worth out of these Kaisercraft products.  So much fun!  Here's a closer look:  

I hope your November is going well and that you will make some time to join us over at CAS(E) this Sketch!!

Good morning and happy November!  I hope you all had a spooktacular October and Halloween.  We had a wonderful time out collecting candy last night.  Now I have to start the attempts to resist snagging a piece whenever I see it laying around.  What a fun time of year!  Ha ha!  Something I don't have to resist is playing along with this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  It's an awesome sketch with awesome inspiration from the team and an amazing guest designer.  You won't want to miss out.  Here's my take:

Another super easy card for you this week but I love the simplicity of it, especially when you are trying to crank out all your Christmas cards and can't handle mass production.  ;)  I used my favorite paper pack the KaiserKraft First Noel paper pack, some awesome black cardstock for my base, and the awesome cardstock images from the First Noel Set.  All I had to do was arrange and pop up with foam squares.  Talk about easy.  Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for joining us today and I hope you'll play along with us at CAS(E) this Sketch.  Here's what I used for today's card:

Good morning and happy 2nd post of the day!  Are you getting sick of me yet?  I hope you enjoyed my Lil' Inker Designs new release post (below) and are ready to check out my take on this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  I have to say, my card couldn't have been simpler but I LOVE how it turned out.  Here's what I made:

This card couldn't have been easier.  I started with some polka dot paper from a KaiserCraft paperpack called First Noel.  It is an AMAZING pack of patterned paper.  A total must have for the holidays.  I added the stripes with some black glitter tape and finished it all off with a sticker from the KaiserCraft First Noel 12 x 12 Sticker Sheet and a bit of holly from the diecut pack.  Here's a closer look:

Like I said, simple but fun!  I hope you'll come join us at CAS(E) this Sketch this week.  Have a great day!
