Wow is time flying lately! I can't believe we're well into February! I've been making so many Valentine's cards lately and I haven't mailed even one of them yet. At my house the hardest part isn't making them - it is getting everyone to sign them. It seems wrong for me to write their names for them, but that's what it's going to come to soon. It seems like everyone is in a hurry and has some other place to be. Crafting has been a real blessing for me since my daughter started driving. It is so important for her to become independent, but at the same time it has created a void in my life that crafting has filled. I am so thankful for all my crafting friends I've made through blogging.
I've seen so many pretty CAS cards lately. I really don't understand why they are called that. I get the "clean" part, but I don't think there is anything "simple" about them. I think they are genius in that they hold so much blank "negative" space but don't look like they are missing a single thing. I am always finding myself adding "one more thing" creating lots of layers. I tried to go for this CAS style today, but I still added lots of details like paper piercing, gems, and a hand made felt flower. To make the rose I tried to mimic a ribbon folding technique I've seen on line and used a hot glue gun to hold it all together.
Thank you so much for taking the time to have a look - I hope you have a great day!
