Note: My friend, Ardyth, pointed me in the direction of the CASology challenge with the trigger, 'gold', with my Fusion card below. I've never played there, and since I've had fun dabbling in CAS a little lately, I thought it would be fun to link up there! Thanks, Ardyth! And, Lyndal pointed me toward Addicted to CAS, with the code word 'glitter', so I'm linking up there also! Thanks, Lyndal!
Hello, everyone! Happy Friday to you! I'm thankful you've stopped by to visit today! Does anyone know what happened to the 'lazy days of summer'??? YIKES!...I just start to think I'm caught up and maybe 'on a roll'...and then...reality check!!!...I turn around and see piles here, and piles there, and all of the sudden my to-do list has grown to overwhelming proportions! But...we HAVE been having the nicest summer here in Indiana! My husband and I make sure we find at least a few minutes each day to sit out by the fish pond to chat and just soak up summer...it'll be gone before you know it!
Today I have a card over at the Precious Remembrance blog using the new Journey set...
(That's the little teaser for ya!)
And I have another card to share...this one for the FUSION Card Challenge! Friday just got a little busier, as I have the honor of being on the Fusion DT now!! Sweet! And something else that's sweet...they've changed to a bi-weekly challenge. So for those of you like me, who struggled to get a card done in a week...now you've got 2 of 'em! After a month off, a new challenge is up and running today...
...so you can choose the sketch, the photo, or BOTH to create from. I went with the photo and used a design from my ever-so-talented friend, Ardyth, for my card. She made a card with the split panel layout I've used today a good while back, and I've always wanted to CASE it...so I did...with the silver and gold from the photo...
There are some little starfish in the photo, too, so I included some glittered veneer stars as accents...
Pretty CAS, huh? ('Simon Says' stamps and die) Hope you like! Head on over to the FUSION blog for more inspiration, and play along with us!
My girls at Festive Friday have fresh new inspiration for week 2 of the Pink/Silver color challenge that you may want to check out...I've already seen it and it's GORGEOUS, ladies!!!
OK...I'll let you go! I've kept you long enough! Thanks again for stopping by....have a great weekend!
Geri
Wowzers, what a gorgeous fusion card you have created, my friend! I absolutely LOVE the mixture of silver and gold. The little stars are stunning and I adore the split panel design. So clever how you have the bits of glittered paper showing through the split. Huge congrats on joining the design team. Totally not surprised they snatched you up!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for the new DT, Geri! Your card is GORGEOUS! Love that design! Your sneak is beautiful too...I'm heading over there now!
ReplyDeleteIt seems the older we get the faster the seasons fly by, doesn't it? When I was a kid summer seemed so much longer! :o)
Okay, I just left a comment over at Precious Remembrance...but I didn't want to say this there:
ReplyDeleteI thought your whole card was covered with glitter, not just the stars. Then I realized that it was the sun reflecting on the large amount of dust on my computer screen! lol I guess I better get to work, huh? Have a great weekend, my friend! :o)
how lovely, Geri! the gold sentiment and detail on the crisp white is AMAZING! excited to work with you on the Fusion team!
ReplyDeleteThis are gorgeous :) and yes I agree Ardyth indeed is a great inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't Ardyth THE BEST?!? I've CASE'd this same design element from her too (for her birthday celebration that Darnell coordinated). Love the dainty, gold script bridging the panels. Such a great amount of interest in your very CAS card. Welcome to the team, Geri!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! What a great new role for you, and I love this card! The gold and silver together are fantastic and I like that there is the straight metallic as well as the sparkly kind.
