Merry Monday #102

I was taking pictures of my cards today and my husband said "What are you going to do with all these cards?"  Then when I visited my mother this afternoon, she asked what I'd been doing.  When I told her making cards, she said "All day, every day?"  I guess it takes another card maker to understand.

Tonight's card is for Merry Monday.

I used the tipped tops from PTI so I could show off the print paper without it getting in the way of the mistletoe, which is a Cricut cut.  I love this sentiment from My Craft Spot.

I could post all the cards I have ready to go but then the post would be too long so I'll just keep you in suspense.  I still have a couple more that I want to do for challenges that end mid-week. Since they're forecasting snow tomorrow, it will be a good time to stay in and get them done.

I'm glad you took the time to come by my blog.  If you have a little more time, why not leave a comment.  I love reading them.

A Couple of CASes

I don't know why I got into the Clean and Simple challenges.  I'm not really that kind of card maker but they just draw me in and I HAVE to make cards for them.  Today is the deadline for two challenges so I'm posting two cards.  I wish I could have combined them but that would have been difficult since one is a sketch.

My first card is for CAS(E) this sketch.

 I tried several other things for the three elements but once I decided on the sentiment that I printed on the computer, these arrows from Accent Essentials seemed the perfect choice.

The second challenge is for CASE Study #142.  Here is the photo inspiration:

And my card.

The vine is cut from Cindy Loo and the flower from some Recollections paper.  I cut three images and put foam tape between two of them, curling up the petals a little.  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper.  This paper stack had several pages of large image flowers.  This is the second one I have cut and layered like this.

It's going to be raining all day and tomorrow.  That means some time in my craft room after taking care of some business.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.
