WM Pajama Party and CASology #59 - Book


My first card is for this week's CASology challenge, #59 and the cue card is "book".  I knew instantly what I wanted to do, I have always loved to read but not Ashleigh, it was really like pulling teeth. But then something happened, Stephanie Meyers wrote the Twilight series and she was hooked and not just the Twilight books but any book and she has no problem reading them over and over again.  While visiting Joyce for SAF, she was so sweet to share and piece of red glitter type card stock and I thought that it would make the perfect apple and Lucy had not problem cutting it either. I have to tell that we had so much fun with the whole Twilight thing, books, movies, waiting in line all day to see them at midnight, meeting the cast and even doing the Twilight movie tour in Washington and Oregon, they are such great memories!
This week is Anything Goes over at Simon Says Stamps so I will be posting all of my cards there too.




When we met to see Eclipse I thought some apple cupcakes would be fun to share with our friends in line. We would even order pizza to be delivered to the theater and camp out all day, some took naps, other read and we all had a blast!

My next few cards/projects are all for this month's Waltzingmouse Pajama Party, there are 5 separate challenges for the pajama party. There are prizes for each individual challenge and you don't have to have WM stamps to play along, but if you do there is a bigger prize. I am so happy that I planned ahead for this one and can't wait to see what the rest of the party goers create!

  6. These are all wonderful. That red glitter paper looks great as an apple--so much better than where it was gathering dust in my closet. Love how you did those paper cubes, and you know I always love all of your halloween cards.

  9. Great job on ALL of these cards. Your stamped anchor background looks amazing in the blue and divided with the ropes. Your box is a wonderful 3D project! You utilized lots of nautical images on all sides! I adore pennants and your bon voyage card is so cute with them. The witch Halloween card is adorable with that silhouette and festively spooky border punch! Fabulously creative. Thanks so much for attending the party with us!

  11. Too much fun here! A blast reading your post. Your cards are all singularly spectacular! Favorite? Ummm, has to be the banner for the color challenge. Wait, the sparkly apple, no, love Halloween themed cards. (10 grandchildren!) Nope that sweet nautical box wins my vote! Oh well, hopeless on decision making!

  24. At last, Kim, I've been able to get to you ... so happy! I found that Ghostery is blocking my access to you ... don't know why, but it is, so if I pause it, I can visit. So here I am, catching up :). Your projects are amazing ... fantastic boldness on the first (and yummy looking munchies!) ... the WM cards and cube are stunning ... sooo creative and inspiring! Anita :)
