I hope you've had an extra special day doing extra special things that mean something to you and your loved ones this Australia Day. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert last night - I always enjoy Jimmy!
It's challenge time over at Addicted to CAS. Lovely Loll is our host this fortnight and her chosen code word is HEART. Such perfect timing with Valentine's Day coming up. And for those of you who don't celebrate maybe you could send a friend a reminder of how much they mean to you? I always make a card for Gorgeous Kid and hide it in his lunch box - hmmm given he's starting high school this year maybe I'd best not do that. I'd hate to embarrass him in front of all the 'big' kids. Lol.
A layered mat of Crumb Cake stamped with the retired Linen b/g stamp, on CC card base. A Very Vanilla Nestie circle. A luscious sparkly red heart and a little Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding and CC Button/Twine and voila a CAS Valentine (or whatever) Card. I love CAS!
Our wonderful sponsor for this week is Annabelle Stamps. Andrea will be awarding our CAS Perfectionist a $10 gift voucher.

Aaaaaaaaaah, Patrice! I LOVE red with kraft, and the white circle makes is perfect! The linen BG Stamps is awesome, it really looks like a soft texture. B E A U T I F U L!!!

Simply perfect Patrice! I too love that subtle background and l think you should keep up the lunchbox tradition, GK may be disapointed if you dont, even if he is a "BIG" GK now...:0)
ReplyDeleteHi Patrice. Perfect CAS card. Love the crumb cake, red and white colors - so wonderful together. The seam binding ribbon with button and twine are so sweet. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteExcellent CAS card -- so clean, I love it!
ReplyDeleteVery nice card!
ReplyDeleteAs always a super CAS creation Patrice, love your kraft and red combo and the sparkly heart is just super. Yes I think best not put a card in your sons lunch box this year unless of your you sign it with a different name.

CAS Queen has been at it again P. Love this to bits. Perhaps you may be able to slip it under GK's pillow while he is sleeping. ooxx

ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous P! Love how the card draws you into the heart and I'm glad you mentioned the linen background - I'll have to dig mine out now! xxx
ReplyDeleteFabulous! The colour combo of red and kraft is one of my favourite ones, and I love how simple and elegant the card has resulted!
