Trust

This was a very simple card to put together..just used my Top Note die from SU and put it through the Cuttlebug and stamped my verse and floral images around it. Nice and simple with little effort...I need cards like this when I am short of time and this verse is just beautiful! This card is quite spring-like especially when you consider the fact that it is March 2 and it is snowing in NC...nearly unbelievable. I know my kids are excited to be out of school, but I am longing for spring!
Have a great day...I have a full day keeping an eye on them outside and of course our tradition of baking cookies on snow days :o)

Clean and Simple Card

I made this card for last week's CAS challenge (which was to use a button on your card).  CAS stands for Clean and Simple.  A simple definition from SCS is: A clean and simple card has limited layers and sometimes just a card base. It leaves a lot of "open space". It uses little or no embellishments. Any techniques should be the old standard everyday kind like sponging, distressing and piercing. Limit the number of tools you use. Any colored images should be small and quick. Don't go overboard on tons of punches and embossing. CAS cards should be easy and quick.

Oftentimes I overcomplicate cards and this challenge really helps me to simplify (not to even mention taking it easy on postage due upon mailing.... LOL!)   I must say I am not a huge fan of this card, I am really trying to like the white space and with time I think it will grow on me.

This week's challenge is a sketch and you can find this week's challenge HERE.  I know this is a challenge I hope to do each week...simple is good! :o)  Have a great day!
