Happy Birthday

Hello friends! Boring title. I know. But...

 

...things have not been boring around here. Yesterday I had to leave work around lunch time to go to the ER for palpitations. Ugh! That's right. For no reason at all my heart rate was elevated, I was short of breath and having extra beats. One of the doctors that I work with recommended I go to the ER because she was concerned for me. Fortunately after a couple of hours, they gave me the option to spend the night or go home. Um, I will take my comfy bed, thank you. So by this morning, all of my symptoms have gone away and I am taking it easy. Thankfully I already had today off. So what better way to relax than head to my craftroom. 

 

Leah and I spent some time crafty time together which I love so much. She made a card completely out of washi tape. Yep, totally her idea. I created this card for a sweet little girl that will turn 3 years old just one day after my Joshua.

 

 

This card plays along with three challenges: CAS-ual Fridays, CAS on Sunday and Curtain Call Challenge. My first intention was to use small heart circle from DeNami Design for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge: use hearts in a summer palette. So when I saw the gorgeous photo over at Curtain Call, I knew exactly what colors to choose. The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays: CAS-ual Elegance.  And lastly, the challenge over at CAS on Sunday is to create a birthday card. I can't remember the last time I created one card to play along with 3 challenges.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!

 

DeNami Design and Curtain Call, Love letter

Hello friends! I hope you are having a great week so far. Today DeNami is teaming up with the gals over at Curtain Call and creating some Love Letter inspired projects.

 

In creating my card, I was inspired by the kraft envelope covered with the doily and tied up with baker's twine. I used an old flower die to create the layered rosette out of my vintage book print. I adhered a heart that I stamped from my Petite Fours Hearts stamp set.

 

 

Pretty CAS, but as you know, that's me. Please be sure to stop by the DeNami blog to see what the rest of the gals have created. I hope you get a chance to play along with us all over at Curtain Call.

CAS-ual Fridays meets Curtain Call

TGIF! Are you guys looking forward to the weekend like me? I need some R&R for sure. Whew!

 

So last challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays was pretty amazing with all of the entries. This week, CAS-ual Fridays is joining up with Curtain Call for a 1 week challenge.

Our fabulous sponsor this week is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps. The winner of this challenge will earn a stamp set of their choice.

 

For my card, I used some old and new CFS. I inked up the presents from Merry Kiss-mas and paper pieced them. The sentiment is from the new set Christmas Carols. I added some red and green cardstock. I ran the green cardstock through my cuttlebug with my Diagonal Stripe embossing folder that DeNami now carries. The finishing touch to my card was adding some Gold glitter to the center of the presents using my Quickie glue pen.



 

Well, that's all for me today. You have until noon on Thursday to link up and play. I can't wait to see what you create!
