just a note - CTS21

One more for the night, and off to bed I go!  This has been a long day, but as many of you can relate......creating something from the heart is very relaxing! :)

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Cas(e) this Sketch.  I really love this sketch, but as many of you who know me - CAS is still something that I am working very hard at.  I hope this is CAS enough! :)

DP's from MME, cardstock, diecut and stamps from PTI, baker's twine from The Twinery, mini envelope from Maya Road, misc. button and mini clothespin.

Thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card!  Have a great week!

You're berry sweet! - FMS79 and DD46

Happy Easter - I hope you all enjoyed your day with family and friends!  I hosted Easter this year, and we enjoyed our day with family.  The dishes are done and the company is gone - time to make a card! :)

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches and Dynamic Duo's Challenge - Deep Pink and a color of your choice.  I opted to go with green! :)

DP's from MME, cardstock, dies, stamps,  ink and ribbon from PTI, misc. sequins.

Hello There - RS56 and CAS on Sunday4

Happy Monday - I hope you all had a good day!  I'm just happy Monday at the office is behind me!  The beginning of the week is always hectic and packed with emergencies!

This card was created based off of this week's sketch at Retro Sketches and CAS on Sunday's challenge - Flutterby.

DP's from American Crafts, cardstock, twine and stamps from PTI, wooden butterfly from Recollections and misc. button all have been added.

Off to post my card - enjoy the rest of your week!  Thanks for taking a peek - Cathy xxx :)

Birthday Wishes - DD45 and STB11

Happy Sunday - we dodged the bullet on the snowstorm!  We had a light dusting this morning and nothing more all day - just windy and cold!  Thank goodness! :)

This card was created based off of this week's color challenge at Dynamic Duos - monochromatic pinks and Seize The Birthday - feminine birthday with a sketch.

Pretty simple design, but I felt it was missing something at the end - so I sprayed it with glitter spray!  Hey - every birthday card needs a little glitter - right! :)

Cardstock, stamps and ink from PTI and misc. cording used for the balloons.

Thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card!  Enjoy your evening - Cathy xxx :)

thinking of you - PDCC174, KIS10, FTL233 and Little Tangles9

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!  It is a lovely day here in Chicago - bright and sunny, but still cold!  I think it's the "silence before the storm" - they are predicting another snow storm, but it's too soon to tell if we'll get hit hard! Where is Spring?!?

This card was created based off of this week's color challenge at PDCC (gorgeous),  KIS' challenge - shaped card (fun) and my interpretation of FTL's sketch (I saw a camera) and Little Tangles - shaped card! :)

I drew my own camera image and cut it out of a 5.5(h)x4(w) card.  I added vellum for the lense and eye, added some ribbon and I also sprayed it with some glitter spray.

Thanks for taking a peek - off to post my card!  Enjoy your day - Cathy xxx :)
