CASology #54 - Gold and a Few New Sweaters


Happy Friday! My first card is for this week's CASology challenge and this week's cue card is Gold.  I always try and make my card to reflect the first thing that pops into my head once I see that cue card and this week is no exception. I know some of you will laugh but the first thing I thought of was the Golden Egg in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.  Veruca Salt was quite the little brat, wanting all the geese that laid the Golden Eggs. I have seen this movie about 100 or so times, the children at school love it, even if it is a bit old in their minds. So I pulled out my A Good Egg stamp set from Waltzingmouse and here you go!


My next 3 cards are just for fun! Remember back when that was why we made cards, before all the challenges started popping up.  Don't get me wrong I love making cards for as many challenges as I can, it forces me to do techniques I may not know and use stamps and supplies that have been sitting around collecting dust.  But these cards are just for fun and thanks to Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea, for letting me borrow her PTI Shape Up Sweater die and I just fell in love with it.  I actually made 7 sweater cards but I will not bore you with photo's of all of them.  Thank you again for stopping by to peek at my cards....have a fabulous weekend!

  3. Love your golden egg card. I adore Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and all of Roald Dahl books. Your gold is so shiny and fun. I love your sweater cards, but you knew that, right? Each one is just so fun and unique. I wish that you would show the other 4. I would not be bored at all. You are inspiring me with all sorts of fun ideas for sweaters.

  10. Your gold embossing looks amazing! The coverage and detail looks great, and I love the simple gold mat to frame it. Darling sweaters, too! That looks like it would be so much fun to play with.
