you're a hoot

 This first card is for this weeks challenge over at CAS~tastic and the challenge was SIMPLE... Use 3 of the following items on a card, embossing, stamped or printed image, inked edges, masking, paper piercing, or lace.

As you can see I used stamped or printed image, inked edges, and paper piercing on this card. This was my second card that I made as I couldn't really submit my first one as the ribbon I used could not be condsidered lace ~ or could it?

Don't you just love this little owl stamp? I got him at Michaels with a coupon for $1.50 and that price included the sentiment and the twig branch.

Hope you enjoy and I will be back with another card and a couple of layouts. If blogger behaves and lets me upload the pictures.

just because ~ you are awesome!

Happy Friday! I have a couple cards to share with you today and the first one is for this weeks challenge over at CPS.

I just love this little tree image that I also picked up at Michael's and it is by studio g. This is the sketch that inspired the card.

My last card is for the SSSC over at Karen Giron's blog and I used some of that beautiful Cosmo Cricket "DeLovely" along with one of my handmade flowers.
