Yes, I'm still trying to accomplish this CAS thing!! I have to tell you- it's not easy for me but, definitely takes me "out of the box" and that's a good thing, right???? I am always so amazed when I visit blogs/bloggers that do CAS so perfectly- so balanced- every element counts.
So, on my
journey struggle, I made this card...
I was CASEing
Maile Belles card for this week's
CASE study challenge but, I wanted to add color with the sentiment and embellies rather than the background stamping. I'm thinking this is the most "white" space (in this case it's actually vanilla/ivory) that I have ever left on a card AND... don't ask me how long it took and how much stamping to find a background stamp that I thought would work---remember scrap paper-it's cheaper, LOL!! Not exactly a one layer card but, the closest I have ever come!!
Maile's card...
Normally, I wish (Hope) for a wonderful week... that's hard to do today after watching/seeing all the news on the devastating tornado in Oklahoma. I grew up in northwest Indiana and Illinois. As a very young child I remember every house we moved to-- always being taught (over and over and over until we had it down) where to go and what to do for tornadoes/ bad storms/when skies turn black...I was on the phone with my sis yesterday (she's in Indiana) and she didn't know what was going on and we were talking about it-- I kept saying "Lisa, it's not hitting and popping back up/dissipating. It's not going away. It's big and staying on the ground." Anywho... I think many lives were saved because people knew/understood what to do or where to go based on awareness, which breeds instinct. It's a miracle there weren't more lives lost.
Sorry, it's close to home. Actually, I've been home in the last year visiting when a "tiny" tornado hit and it made me nervous... brought back all the lessons I learned from my mom and dad---
think.... what's potentially safe and what isn't---can't imagine.
Thanks for stopping by!! Love when you do and appreciate all the kind words!!
