Dear Dad

So you saw the sentiment yesterday on the fishie card. As soon as I finished that card, I bopped myself on the forehead and said, "duh! Pair this up with that deer!" and so I did! This is for my sweet, dear, FIL!Similar layout to the CAS 19 challenge, just with out the repetitive stamping. Trying to use up some of my "old" In Color stash....making room for the new stuff! Pacific point, baja breeze, and kiwi (Rockability dsp) on this one. Have a great Tuesday! Hugs, Lisa

CAS-Remake!

The SCS CAS challenge this week is to remake a card from your gallery. I had so much fun a few weeks ago re-making one of my first cards, I knew I could handle this one. I also knew right away which card I wanted to re-make. This card just never sat right with me.

I used all the same products-ribbon, paper, and embellishments and used the sketch from CAS challenge #13 to come up with this remake. I LOVE the new version.
It's an SUO card and I can't wait to show it off to my girls at my next class. I had fun with the different patterns from the Candy Lane dsp. You only have another week to take advantage of the Buy 3 get 1 Free on dsp and textured cardstock! Contact me to order! Happy Wednesday! Hugs, Lisa

I Stamped!

Boy, oh, Boy can you loose your mojo when you don't stamp for a while. I had a whole pile of stamps waiting for me when I got home from my trip and I had no idea where to start today. I took it slow and only cranked out 1 card. I used Ms.Boo's CAS06 challenge and was inspired by these shoes. Robeez shoes are the best. I didn't have them for my first two kids, but Nicholas had two pairs (actually he had the knock-offs from Target. I could never bring myself to spend the money on the brand name, and for $12.95 at Target, I just couldn't resist) and they were awesome. Check out their website and be inspired! I knew as soon as I saw those cute owl shoes I could ink up my new Forest Friends stamp set (available April 1 from SU). The layout was inspired by Joanne's gorgeous card from Friday. So here is my first card back.Thanks for all the sweet comments you all left while I was away. Tim and I had so much fun. I love that we had some time to re-connect and just hang out. It was a bit of a busy time away since we drove back and forth from Tampa and Orlando, but we were able to do a little bit of everything. We almost got to see the Space Shuttle take off, but it was re-scheduled so we missed it. We spent a day at Universal studios riding roller coasters, we spent a day at the beach soaking up some warmth, we got to eat at one of our favorite seafood restaurants, and we met up with some old friends. I read a book, ate lots of late night dinners, and did a little bit of shopping (Kristin, I got a new bead for my bracelet). I'll be back tomorrow with some more new sneak peeks from the mini (I hope). Hugs, Lisa
