Clean and Simple x Three!

Well, I've come to realize later in my stamping life (!) that my card making design of choice is CAS.  When I try to fill up a card - I just make a mess of 'stuff'!

I have found, out in blog land, that weekly CAS challenges are popping up everywhere - so I've been checking them out each week hoping I'll find time to participate.

Today I have 3 cards made for some of these challenges:

This card was made for the Runway Inspired Challenge  - and it's due today by midnight so I got it done just in time!   Here is the inspiration:

Looking at the block pattern on the dress on the right -  I remembered I had a tile stamp from Starving Artists that would work perfectly!   I stamped it on white card stock and then sponged the colors over it.  My sentiment from MFT is stamped on half of a Labels 18 Nestability!

I created my next card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge - Wallpaper - to create your own background.

I used a lovely background stamp from Waltzingmouse called Vintage Christmas Backgrounder (you can see it's NOT just for Christmas!), punched the bottom edge with a lacey punch from Martha Stewart and stamped the sentiment from PTI directly on the card stock -  This is another card for my good stamping friend Anne who had thumb surgery and cannot stamp for some time - she loves red so that's the color I used on this card!

And my final CAS offering today was made for two challenges -  Addicted to Cas - Code Word Masculine and CAS(E) this Sketch.

I don't think anyone can argue that motorcycles aren't masculine!   These great biker stamps are from a set called Live to Ride by A. Jillian Vance Designs.  As I've said before here on the old blog - my son rides motorcycles so I bought this set to make cards for him when I need them -  I think this one will be for his birthday in September!

I've been home on vacation this week - so I've had to time to relax, clean my stamping room a bit, sleep a little later than usual and get in some fun stamping time!  Back to the grind on Monday!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Don't forget to check back on Tues 3/5 when I'll be starting sneak peeks with the other DT members for the Waltzingmouse March Release!
