There is a super simple sketch for the CAS challenge on SCS today and since I had a couple of minutes I decided it would be fun to play along. This is one of those 5 minute cards…that’s about how long it takes to make it! LOL!!! LOVE those – fun and quick! For quick cards you really can’t beat …
Okay before I get into this first I have to say I LOVE this card! Seriously…it was just so much fun to make and LOVE the colors.

My husband has a phrase that he like to use “Simple, Not Simpler”. I have to say, I agree. It’s not always about taking something complex and dropping it back a few notches but making it simple to begin with. That’s what this card is about…Simple, Not Simpler. It’s quick and easy and really quite stunning in its simplicity! I …
You know this new set (You’ve Got This) is just such a cool set! It’s so easy to make classy cards without too much work. I also REALLY like the new Tip Top Taupe color. Just such a pretty neutral color. This was one of the cards we did in my card class in June. I think everyone like it …
