My Friend

A new week begins. There is talk of "snow" again. At least we had some nice weather over the week end. We grilled hamburgers on the grill Saturday night and sat on the deck and talked for a while on Sunday evening.

Today's CAS challenge was to case a card from Diane Cramer's gallery on Splitcoast Stampers website. I really enjoyed looking through her gallery. This is the card I chose to case.

Now, here is my card. I kept the same basic layout, used different colors and a differnt stamp (although it says the same thing). Except for the designer paper, I used pieces from my flash card stash.

Flash Cards by Connie Stewart

Some months ago, I found Connie Stewart's blog "Simply Simple Stamping". I have learned so much from watching her videos and following her posts. I watched her videos on Flash Cards and Flash Cards 2.0. It is a cool technique. In getting started, I CASED several of her cards. I have also been cutting some of my larger pieces of scrap paper into the flash card measurements. I am still working at creating cards using these pieces of paper.

I am sure that Connie would love for you to visit her blog -- Simply Simple Stamping

Here are a few samples of cards that I CASED from watching her videos.
