There were two challenge that I wanted to play along with this week...
- Less Is More: Anniversary. I have this fun Doodle Frame that I thought would be perfect for a truly CAS card. I was thinking of my own husband when I kept this card to a little platinum embossing and one red gem - but I'm guessing he will think I went overboard.
- CASual Fridays: Even the Score. I don't know why I don't think of using simple score lines more often. I'm always looking for a stamp or a die cut to highlight an image or sentiment, but often a set of scored lines would do it better. On this card, I thought the scored lines would support the frame so it wasn't left hanging.
Most importantly today, I just wanted to let all of my blog friends know that I've not made it around to comment much and probably won't until after the holidays. I'm so sorry - but I bet you all understand. I am still reading your blogs every day, but I often find myself scrolling through blogs in those few minutes between shopping, baking, wrapping, decorating and, quite honestly, a lot of wonderful coffee time with friends!! Thank you for all of your inspiration!
