Happy Bird-Day...Happy Little Stampers CASE the Designer Challenge, Simon Says Wednesday Challenge~Anything Goes, Seize the Birthday~Anything Goes

Hello,

I'm popping in quickly to join Happy Little Stampers CASE the Designer Challenge,


where sweet, talented Shona has inspired us with this super cute just-for-you ellie card. Adorable x darling!


Here's my take: a very pink flamingo surrounded by stenciled leaves. Those polka-dot wings make me smile...


Hope it's CAS enough!  Shona, your inspiration was FUN!! Thank you!

Seize the Birthday~Anything Goes


My on my ownsome weekend is going along alright-ish.  I've done some cleaning, some laundry, some crafting (not enough yet!), some editing of papers (a 19-page thesis proposal is a *must do*) and...have more of the same on tap for tomorrow.  Missing out on home-made pizza night...maybe we'll shift it to Monday, which means making dough is also added to my keep-myself-busy agenda...

So delighted you spent some time with me today; your visit brings me joy!

Your stunning pink flamingo is gorgeous against the stenciled leaf background. Beautiful card! Amazing what we can achieve on a weekend on our own. Mine's working all weekend so I've actually managed to make a few cards but not much housework.Got to prioritize!

Cute flamingo! Great card. You do a great job with your stenciling. :) So happy to hear you are keeping yourself nicely busy, but the work part doesn't found nearly fun enough! Good luck with that.

We had home-made pizza tonight for dinner, so yummy and love making the dough. Sounds like your having a busy little weekend and hope you've had more of a chance to squeeze in some more crafting. Your card is perfectly CAS enough for me and I love that flamingo image, especially in that vibrant pink. The tropical leaves around it are such a brilliant idea too. Thank you so much for CASEing my little card and its always fabulous to see you at Happy Little Stampers! And good luck with that 19 page thesis...I hope your reading it and not having to write it????

Those stenciled leaves are the perfect foil for the bright pink flamingo, Carol. Polka dot wings and all.
