And I'm back...this time with a couple little somethings inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #183
Just a simple birthday card, with a 'bit' of interest (hopefully) created by nesting the images into their die-cut apertures.
My sweet niece and charming nephew are attending Bike Camp this week (apparently, they're taking after their uncle, my husband *grin*). so I though I'd make them a couple of "You Did It" bookmarks to note their accomplishments, following the sketch layout. I'm hoping these will count as 'tags' over at CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #153~Gift Tags (using CAS-ual Friday's Woot Woot set and neon inks).
(Sometimes my girly Ms. T is all over pink, then suddenly all over blue.
Sometimes Mr. C is, too *grin* They can decide who gets which...
Of course, the challenge says 'gift' tags, so I thought these book marks would pair nicely with the bike book I ordered. Looking forward to a cuddle-on-the-couch with them to read the story together...

That's it for me. The clouds are starting to pile up again, so we know what that means. More wet weather (enough!)...and consequently, more crafting. My offer still stands: some of your heat for some of our cool - and a bit of rain as an added bonus. Any takers?
Thank you AGAIN for spending part of your day with me; your visit brings me joy!
Been MIA this past week...had a surprise visit from Brady (Danny was in on the surprise). Enjoyed tons of mommy-daughter time! Drove her to Brandon today for her flight back to Calgary! Miss her already
