ATCAS #258 - Flower

Showcase some flowers and join in the fun at the latest Addicted to CAS Challenge.

I used the Hero Arts Merry Poinsettia Bunch as my floral image.  It has a rather modern feel to it so I paired it with Taylored Expressions Modern Holiday sentiment and used somewhat non-traditional poinsettia colors. I wonder if you can find real poinsettias in this gorgeous colorway?

Flowers on order for the latest CAS on Friday Challenge. Is your garden blooming?  My spring flowers are gone but not forgotten.

SOSS #250 - O for Outdoors

We're heading outdoors for the latest Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge.  Pollen? Bugs? Is that poop?!  Eww!

I saw a meme on Pinterest with the "I like them real thick and sprucey" riff on Sir Mix-a-Lot's Baby's Got Back.  How could I resist; that's my jam!

I used a few couple of shades of geen to stamp the Stampin' Up Wonderland trees as a backdrop then took my time coloring up the Sugarpea Designs Timber images.  They're so so cute!  And then you read that sentiment.  Bam!  LOL.

ATSM #467 - Christmas

The latest Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge is all about Christmas.  Anything to help build the holiday card stash, am I right?

I cut the Memory Box Classic Pair of Ice Skates in white, kraft and silver then used baker's twine from my stash to quickly stitch the laces.  The Taylored Expressions Vintage Sled is cut from two shades of kraft and red.  I was using up bits and bobs of kraft. I also used up some scraps with the Spellbinders greenery bits.  

I love how the Pinkfresh Studio Holiday Large Sentiments look on these designs in particular but the PFS Holiday Perfect Sentiments in silver hot foil look great too.

ATCAS #257 - Smile

Does the Addicted to CAS Challenge bring a smile to your face?  It certainly does mine.

These MFT Christmas elves are adorable (I will always miss you, Birdie Brown!) and make me smile too.

I stamped the image and colored it up with cheerful Copics.  The MFT Polaroid Shaker Frame fits these images perfectly. The hashtags are the icing on the top.  A simple, but not boring, design for sure.

CAS on Friday #282 - Sunshine

We've got sunshine at the CAS on Friday Challenge #282 but it's not necessarily warm warm.
