With Thoughts of Spring

Hi, everyone! Hope the holidays have been wonderful... and that plans for 2019 are well underway!


Publishing blog posts and posting cards for challenges haven't been very high on my priority list since... June, to be perfectly honest. But, when I saw one of my favorite challenge blogs of all time had posted its last challenge... ever, I had to play along.

Huge thanks to Michele and all the CAS-ual Fridays designers -- past and present -- for years and years of fabulous inspiration. While it's wonderful to know the CAS-ual Fridays store will still be around, please know these bi-monthly challenges will be missed. So, it's with a touch of sadness, I offer the card below for the CAS-ual Fridays Dry Embossing Challenge.

Cuttlebug and Sizzix/SU embossing folders
MFT stitched flowers dies; Recollections tiny pearls
center strip heat embossed with Versamark ink and Ranger clear embossing powder

I was so excited in 2018 to receive a few CAS-ual Fridays shout-outs. I'd been trying for quite a while and was thrilled to be able to a little Friday happy dancing. But, it looks like I'm going to be erasing that bucket-list-winning-a-CASual-Fridays-challenge goal. Oh, well. Can't blame a gal for trying... right?!

All the best to Michele and her team! Happy 2019 to all!

Until next time, thanks for stopping and happy scrapping!

  2. What a gorgeous and happy springtime card Sybrina! It's still 30 degrees here in SE Missouri so we are a long way off from spring. LOL
