CAS-card and layout!

I know, yesterday I was supposed to post my CAS challenge card for you. You got my Raspberry Suite color challenge instead. Sorry! That's the fun thing about blogging and it being MY blog, I can change things up at the last minute. LOL! Oh, and Kristen, you nailed it, the eyelet border punch is new-to-me and I LOVE it! Today, I'll make up for it and share both my challenge card AND Jennifer Buck's CAS scrapbook layout. The SCS CAS challenge this week is here.-Black, White, and 1 Bold Bright. It was almost a YIKES for me, I am SOOOOO not a Bold Bright kinda girl. Can you believe I even picked Yo-Yo-Yellow to work with. I'm brave, I know. BUT look how this turned out...

...pretty, huh?! It is an SUO card I made for Joshua's teacher (it's teacher appreciation week here). I layered up the rose by stamping and coloring it (watercolor crayons and an aqua painter) 3 times, then cutting out smaller sections of the flower each time. I popped them up with dimensionals. Now onto the CAS layout. Here's the sketch Jennifer Buck posted on Saturday. As much as I love to look at all the pretty layers, stamping, and embellishments some of my favorite scarpbookers add to their pages, I've realized I'll never scrap like that. I just don't have the time. I am sooooo drawn to the CAS style when I actually sit down to create. I came up with this in about 5 minutes with the help of the trusty Hoppy Memories Simply Scrappin' Kit from SU!

See you tomorrow with a couple cards I squeezed in for the Viva Las Vegas VSN challenges over at SCS last weekend. Happy Wednesday! Hugs, Lisa
