CTS #309

Good morning and happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you are having a great one so far.  I plan to go buy myself a coffee or something and I hope you will, "Treat Yo Self" also!  Sorry, I just LOVE Parks & Rec and couldn't help but throw that in there.  ;)  Something else I love?  A good sketch and we have one for you this week over at CAS(E) this Sketch!  Make sure you go check it out.  Here's what I created for my card this week:

It's true, I didn't do a bit a stamping for this card.  All I did was arrange these gorgeous bits and pieces from another of my favorite Christmas lines (I'll link it below).  I've had these chipboard stickers laying around since September and have been trying to find just the right spot for them.  Since I no longer scrapbook, they seemed a bit big for a card.  I kept them anyway and lucky for me, the worked out really well on this card.  I started with the word paper as my card base and then added the winter florals to either corner, trimming the one on the bottom edge.  I added a chipboard banner to finish it off.  I still can't decide if I will trim down the top floral.  I might have to if I want to put it in an envelope.  ;)  Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for checking out my card and take on the sketch this week.  I'll see you over at CAS(E) this Sketch.  You won't want to miss what the team and our guest designer created.  They are AMAZING!  Have a great day and...

Good morning!  It's another awesome Thursday and I get to share my take on this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  This is a longer than normal challenge to run through the holidays so you have plenty of time to play along!

I'm just getting things all wrapped up for Christmas and I actually feel like I'm ahead of the game this year.  I'm still in denial the Christmas is rapidly approaching.  I swear it still feels like October to me.

This past weekend was the church Christmas Program and with that behind me, I can relax.  I stress about it every year and every year, it goes smoothly.  It is done and now I can have some fun.  Speaking of fun, have you see the new sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch?  The design team has some AMAZING creations this week and you simply have to check them out.  While you are here, here's my take:

I used the My Mind's Eye Winterberry collection for this card.  I simple layered papers (some cut with Lil' Inkers Dual Stitched Rectangles) and elements from the chipboard sticker pack.  It was super simple and I hope you like it.  Here's a closer look:

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