CAS Challenge #1

At Split Coast Stampers, I was browsing the forums and found a new challenge for "clean and simple" cards. The challenge was to find a fabric sample to be your inspiration and then make a clean and simple card. As I was looking for some fabric samples, I found this. The colors made me dream of a warmer place to be, and the pineapples just made me smile. How fun would it be to sit on the beach eating fresh pineapple right now!?! And these are the cards I came up with based on that inspiration. No pineapple involved, though. After making the first card, I decided it would be really easy to make another, and just changed the sentiment for fun.

Over The Rainbow Color Challenge

Another day, another way to win goodies from PTI. Today Nichole is hosting a color challenge. I was really excited because I am loving using the new cardstock I got from PTI. Well, of course 3 of the colors I haven't bought (yet) are in the color challenge. So I had to substitute with what I had. The sketch is based on the sketch challenge this week on Split Coast Stampers. If you've been thinking of trying PTI's cardstock, with their February 15th release, they are releasing a combo pack of all of their colored cardstock together. Oh, I wish they'd have had this last month and then I'd have had all of the colors for today. My card would be a little more vibrant, as my red especially looks a little washed out next to the other colors. Enjoy your Friday!
