Hey Baby

Hi everyone! Happy Friday! Any plans for the weekend?

It's CAS-ual Fridays time, and this week's challenge should be easy and fun:

Polka dot stamps, patterned paper, cardstock, ribbon, whatever you can think of.

When I think of polka dots, milk cartons aren't exactly the first thing to come to mind, but that's what I made:

Isn't that smile cute? I was flipping through my die-cutting files and saw the Oishii SVG file from Lettering Delights (I used the same collection on THIS card). The top of the milk carton opens, and you can put a treat inside.

I was thinking it would be good as a back-to-school treat for my kids, but I thought it would also work as a baby shower favor box (or to put a gift card inside as a present). I went with the baby theme for the tag:

The sentiment is from Mama Elephant--I was glad it fit on the tiny tag.

The winner of this week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge will win a gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp:

You can link up your projects HERE. I hope you'll play along!

Thanks for stopping by. I'll have a second post later today. :) Have a great weekend!

Feeling Fried?

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend. I haven't had enough caffeine yet to be chatty. ;)

My blogging buddy Annette is hosting a Contenders Blog Hop for those projects not accepted for the latest Paper Crafts Magazine call. I thought I'd share a two-time reject:

This card was originally submitted to the last Paper Crafts Card Creations call and then to the sunshine category of the latest call (I know, it was an extra long-shot for that category).

I cut the egg on my Cameo, made my own sentiment, and double-stitched some patterned paper. The denim is part of my daughter's old jeans. I love using pants the kids have outgrown (or get a hole in) on cards.

Isn't that egg from Lettering Delights so cute? It's from the same collection I used for THIS card. Here's a close-up:

I intentionally put the demin, paper, and sentiment at wonky angles to match the sentiment. I know, I am way too analytical.

If you get a chance and want to link up a creation you submitted to the latest Paper Crafts call, you can link up HERE.

Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
