Happy Friday!

Good Morning!  Thought I would sneak in a few more cards before the weekend.  We are on the brink of a happy, fun filled, family celebrating kind of weekend, can NOT wait!  My daughter and Mom will be in town.  More on this celebration later.  But for now a few more cards.

This card I created for the CASology CASology Week#42 Care Challenge.  I struggle with the CAS theme, loving my layers like I do.  This site has been helping me explore my Clean And Simple side.  Slowly I am taking away the layers, exposing more plain card stock, it really IS a challenge! 

GKD Products:  Pure Luxury Card Stock, Shine On! Stamp Set.  Copic Markers, Sakura Pens, Adhesive Pearls.


Next up is a sweet little card I made for the FTTC218 Challenge, over at Flourishes, It's All In The Date.  They have a monthly list of the "ingredients" you must use for your card.  My month is December and my ingredients are, 2 colors of card stock and a "thank you" theme.  I have used a beautiful Blue Raspberry and White card stock as my colors, the blue just really POPS with the white accent, and this lovely little sentiment, With Love And Thanks, from  Seasonal Sentiments, the designer paper is Berries and Vines, Turquoise Sea Organza ribbon, all from Gina K Designs.  Added a few Prima Flowers and some rhinestone centers, the inks are StazOn Teal Blue and Colorbox Sky Blue.  Spellbinders, Lacy Square.

There's a GREAT Challenge over at STV that has been running all week, there's still time to play if you'd like to join in, here's the link:  Mix It Up Monday Challenge.  Here's another entry I made for this Challenge.

GKD Products:  Card stock; Cherry Red, White.  Stamp Sets; Shine On!, Blossom, Balanced Diva.
Designer Paper from My Mind's Eye; Quite Contrary.  Stampin' Up! Inks; Garden Green, Cherry Cobbler.  Stazon Brown Timber.  Copic Markers, Baker's Twine, Buttons, Adhesive Pearls, EK Success Border Punch.

And last but not least......ever just make a card for the shear pleasure of making a card?  My nephew is getting married in June and I thought I would make him a "manly" card and put some extra green in it for his fiancé's shower.  The men always get left out, so I thought this would be a nice little something-something for him.  :)

The stamp set is By The Tide,  the inks are;  More Mustard, Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, and Not Quite Navy, all by Stampin' Up!  The bottom left coral stamp used GKD's Innocent Pink ink.

Hope you enjoy this wonderful Friday.  I am soooooo excited the weekend is almost upon us!

Enjoy.....Be Happy!
