CAS-ual Fridays Friday Challenge Farewell!

Super quick post today!  I wanted to play along with the final CAS-ual Fridays Friday Challenge!  I know I've enjoyed playing along with this challenge many times and even won once the oh so generous prize that's offered to one lucky winner so I wanted to take a moment to say goodbye!  Also, be sure to hang around 'til the end to find out about a special sale going on to ring in the New Year!

Don't worry!  CAS-ual Fridays isn't going anywhere.  Just an end to the 8 year run for this fun challenge.  Michele is sending it off with a bang and if you head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays blog you can get some inspiration from the oh so talented design team and play along one last time through January 1st for a chance to win a $25 prize or double it by using CAS-ual Fridays products in your entry!  (I've used lots here plus a sweater embossing folder from Taylored Expressions.)

I'm also playing along over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge which is Anything Goes!

The challenge is dry embossing.  Link up by January 1st.

Also, right now, we're ringing in the New Year with a special sale starting over at CAS-ual Fridays!  Everything in-stock in the shop is marked down AT LEAST 19%!!  You will find 7 sets at only $5!  Retiring sets are still 60% off.  There is no code needed and you can use my special code below for another 15% off the already low prices!  What are you waiting for!?  Start shopping here!

Also, we have a giveaway going on over at the Coffee Loving Papercrafters Group on Facebook!  Get on over there for a chance to win!

CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #209 - Sketch!

Welcome to a new Friday Challenge from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps!  This time around we have a sketch challenge for you to try!  Create your project using this sketch and link up for your chance to win!  Here's how I was inspired:

I'm still working on that Prima Amber Moon paper pad!  I used the wood slat paper for my background and then added some bronze glitter tape and a strip of a leaf print from the paper pad for my corners.

Those Bubble Box dies... one of my fave sets for layering!  I used it here for the show stopping sentiment from the Dream Then Do Stamp set.  I love when a sentiment is so awesome it can be the star of the show!

And these so sweet flowers from the Four Petals dies! I cut them out of some watercolored paper I had left over and distressed the edges a bit.  Then I bent the petals to add some depth and glued the layers together.

I love how simple, but pretty these flowers are!  Some bling for the centers and a few scattered around and this one is done!

I'm playing along with the Outlawz Twisted Thursday which is always anything goes, but this week the twist is also Anything Goes!  Check it out!

And!!  Don't forget tomorrow:

CAS-ual Fridays is one of the Oh So Generous sponsors participating in this hop!  Come back and visit me tomorrow for all of the details!

That's it for me today!  I can't wait to see what you do with this sketch!

Hope I've inspired you!  What are you playing for? 10 winning entries will be highlighted on the CAS-ual Fridays Blog the Thursday before a new challenge goes live!  We call it the Happy Hour!  In addition a $25 gift certificate goes to the overall winner.  AND if the chosen winner uses CAS-ual Fridays stamps and/or dies as the main focus for the card, the gift certificate increases to $50!

So what are you waiting for!  Nothing to lose and $25 to $50 of awesome stuff to gain!  Hope to see you over there

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to checkout this challenge... I can't wait to see what you create!  And don't forget to check out the inspiration from the team!  Some pretty awesome stuff going on there!
