CAS-ual Challenge #44

Image
Hello! I wanted to pop in to share a card I created for the latest CAS-ual Challenge  #44 . The theme this week is "It's as easy as 1, 2, 3"... which means using a pattern, image and sentiment. I bought these cute Martha Stewart gnome stickers at Michael's and wanted to use them on this card. I inked up the houndstooth background image from PTI and added a random sentiment I had. Thanks for stopping by, Brandi

Hello to ya! Are you as happy as I am knowing that the work week is halfway over? I am so counting down to the weekend to get my painting on. I have mentioned in the past how the hubby and I are doing some renovations, well the hard part is done and all that is left is painting. I painted our family room a couple of weeks ago and am starting on the kitchen Saturday. I know it's weird but I actually enjoy painting, it's relaxing... Anywho, I should have planty of time to do it because the hubby is on an extended vacation with his buds to participate in a four day March Madness (college basketball) pubcrawl fest!

Retro Sketches #2

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great start to the week. We actually had our terrace doors open all day at the office because the weather is so nice out. I was able to start jogging outside this weekend and it was so refreshing seeing the people walking their dogs, kids on skateboards, people on bikes and other walkers. It has been soooooo long! I found this fun site called Retro Sketches.  Arielle, who is the same person over the Colour Q challenges created this site too. For inspiration, every week her and her DT come up with a fun creative sketch based of one of their previous cards. The sketches are so simple and are great as a starting point for inspiration. I used a cute little owl stamp from one of my favorite sets (Happy Owlentine's Day by Jenny Suchin that can be found here ). Well that's it for me today! Have a great night! Brandi
