Okay, so the challenge this week is REMAKE! Yep, go back and re-do one of your own cards-it can be a CAS card you've already done or why not make a non-CAS card into a CAS card? I decided to re-do this card of mine.
It just never sat right with me and then we went away for a few days so I never got to make another paper pieced CAS20 card. I changed up the layout a bit and the stamp, kept the paper and ribbon the same and here's the revised card. I am soooo happy with the re-make! Now I can let it rest!

Now I can let it rest!I'll be back tomorrow with a fabulous new SUO card full of new mini goodies! Tomorrow is Sept. 1 and the new Holiday Mini goes live!!! You're gonna love it if you don't already. Hugs, Lisa
Isn't it pretty? I kept it clean and simple, but yet it has a bit of elegance to it Okay, so maybe not 
I used some new SU flocked paper (ooooohhhh, is this stuff gorgeous! it's coming in the new mini on Sept. 1) and a cool music note dp from the cosmo cricket Jolly By Golly pack. I stitched around the edge and I sponged some soft suede ink to give it that antiqued look and stuck to pretty vanilla satin ribbon and some pearls. The poinsetta stamp is the gorgeous one by Unity that you can find in the Hodge Podge of Happiness kit. Here's a close up of the details.
Like I said, it may not be Moxie Fab vintage, but I love how it turned out! Hugs, Lisa
I just couldn't stop thinking of a welcome home greeting (I really wanted to do a welcome to the neighborhood card, but figured it would not be appropriate to give away to anyone new. LOL!). So I'll hold onto it and give it to DH sometime after he has been away. Image was stamped with momento tuxedo black ink and colored with copics. I added some brads and the 
I decided to focus on the sentiment, it's a nice big one and I just adore it. The stamps are from 
I even pulled out my 
So, I came up with this card and I have to say it is one of those that is just blah to me.
I do love how my pleats came out, so I guess that says something. I used Saraha Sand and Very Vanilla textured cs for this. Come play along, see what you can come up with. Check out the CAS challenges every Monday! Hugs, Lisa
The sketch is from 
Next up is one I did for one of the Hip Hop challenges. This was a color challenge-any shade of blue, green and red. I wanted to use this image, but I also didn't want it to be girly. The October Afternoon dp, Road Maps, was perfect for the job. I added a little detail to the the wings with a white gel pen. The sketch comes from
I {{{heart}}} this color combo-bermuda bay, razzleberry, chocolate chip, and old olive. It's another SUO card (I created this for one of my swap groups) showcasing the new Lattice die and the Birthday Bliss stamp set. I can't stop using that lattice die. Here I decided to cut in in half and create a fun border. What do you think? Keeping this one short and sweet. Check back later for a HHH post with lots of unity goodness! 
As soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to make it work with a scrapbook page.
Our product focus this week is 
If these look a bit familiar, it's because I CASED myself. hehehe! I created cards like these earlier this summer with non-SU products. I just changed them a bit to make them SUO!!! I'm off to sneak in a little stamping while the boys are downstairs playing. It's a rainy day here and perfect stamping weather. 
I got my latest order from
Have a great Sunday! Hugs, Lisa
I just love how she did her pocket on 
I also used some of 
Come play along and be sure to see what the rest of the DT came up. When you make your summery card, add a direct link to your creation to Mr. Linky on the 
It is clean and simple, Stampin' Up! only, and full of bling! The big shot, big bold cupcake die, and punches helped make this card come together extra fast. Colors are soft suede, apricot appeal, regal rose and the new melon mambo. Thanks for stopping by! Hugs, Lisa
This one of my CAS cards with bling I did for Monday's challenge. Probably a few extra layers than most CAS cards, but they are simple layered squares with rounded corners. The card was super quick to make. All Papertrey Ink products on this one. Oh, and just so you know, I'm stretching out my CAS cards (remember I told you I made 3) I've been busy cutting cs for my card class on Sunday. I'll have a sneak peek of those when I get a chance. 
I pulled out the adorable little 
It has some bling on it (those flourishes are all glitterfied), so I thought you might light to see another CAS page and know that your pages don't have to be full of layers and embellishment. Sometimes I think that intimidates a lot of people and that is why they don't scrapbook. Focus on the pictures and the story, keep it clean and simple. My layout was cased from a Scrapbooks, Ect. magazine.
This card I made for my neighbor who collected our mail, garbage cans and cared for our fish while we were away last week. I have the BEST neighbors!!! Love the stamp set, Falling Leaves, but tried to save money and only ordered the matching Jumbo Wheel, Bright Blessings. Used up some New In Colors on this one-crushed curry, soft suede, and dusty durango. 
The other day I made my own charm by stamping an extra coffee cup and then cutting it out, today I used a 
You can use it as is, or flip it any way you want. Just have fun and create something with it. As you can see, I did flip it. It's fun to do that sometimes.

I also used the same fun papers and made this little pencil pouch. I made this with the Top Note die and attached the ends together with another Bittersweet brad. I also added some of this yummy

The sentiment was created by inking up words from the 
I embossed the key with silver embossing powder and colored it in with a marker. I used it as a little charm for my bow.
