CASE your wardrobe

Things are very slowly returning to normal at the hospital where I work. The Covid numbers are dropping and we are beginning to return to a normal schedule in the endoscopy unit I run. And the best news is I get a day off this week. YAY!!! I was supposed to have two weeks off to go to the beach with family during the pandemic- which went right bout the window. Covid doesn't care about my need for family and sunshine. In fact it really doesn't like sunshine at all.

Anyway, I digress. Today is a REALLY fun challenge at Cardz 4 Galz. We want you to CASE your wardrobe and let a favorite item of clothing inspire your creation. Come on doesn'tbthat sound like an awesome challenge!!

I went to my closet and just started pulling things out and throwing them on the bed, until I came to this shirt. This is really not my style-it is so totally my SIL's style. But it looks adorable with leggings.

I think my card needs no explanations. What fun it was allowing my shirt to lead the way.

I even came up with a second design, based on the shirt, using similar stamp, but just a bit wonky and not quite as clean and crisp.

Thanks to everyone for playing along with my birthday challenge here at Cardz 4 Galz .We had quite a turnout and some awesome contributions. It was hard to pick the winners!!

Let's get going- start riffling through your closet and pick out an item of clothing to inspire you. Don't forget to show us the item that inspired you. Come and join us for this clever and fun challenge at Cardz 4 Galz . You have two weeks to enter the fun!

Crafty inspiration

Hey there everyone. It has been a crafty weekend for me. I have had to make birthdaycards, birthday cards and cards just because, like the one I am posting today. AAA cards has a cool challenge. They are asking you to make a one layer card with a optional twist of using only black and white.

I am a very CAS stamper, but I still usually have someting popped up and yikes- black and white!! This was a challenge for me. I like bright colors. Also, you need to be very aware that when the card is only black and white, you can't hide your mistakes. LOL!!!

I rarely by kits from stamp companies, but the May kit from Hero Arts was one I couldn't pass up. It is perfect for making cards for all my crafty friends.  The sentiment is from Atenew's "crafty friends" set. Someone special may be receiving this card in the mail this week.

I toyed with the idea of adding some bling or glitter, but forced myself to keep it simple and let the black and white speak for itself. I actually like how it turned out.

There is so much awesome inspiration to be found at AAA cards. Check this card out from Tinstar. I think it is so clever. AAA is having a design team challenge. I am throwing my hat in the ring and keeping my fingers crossed.
