Happy Friday! I hope everybody had a great week. I'm here today with this week's
CAS-ual Fridays challenge. This week's challenge is especially near to my heart, because this is my last challenge as a Girl Friday. :..( I have SO enjoyed being on this design team for a multitude of reasons. One, it was my first ever design team "gig", so it'll always be extra special to me. And I felt so honored to be part of such a wonderfully talented team. I mean, these girls do CAS like nobody's business. For reals. And the players are so talented too! But mostly, I enjoyed being on this team because
Michele is so wonderful to work for. She's got it together! Ladies, if you ever get the chance to become a member of her design team, DO IT! I will really miss being a Girl Friday. But...I do have some very happy news! (And commenter
JanR. guessed my secret last week, so she will be getting a little something special from me.) What is the secret, you ask? Drum roll please..................I'M HAVING A BABY! Yep, I'm pregnant with my first baby, and we could not be more excited! For another chance to win a little prize from me, leave a comment guessing when my due date is. The first person to guess it or come closest will be the winner. Okay okay, less talky, more
CAS-ual Fridays challenge. That
is what you came here for, right? Ok, check it:
And the sponsor for this week's challenge is the wonderful
Ellen Hutson. The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to spend
here. YAY!
Okay, so when I first thought about what to make for this challenge, my mind immediately went to the
Happy Pinwheels stamp set from Unity Stamps and Simple Stories. This set not only has these super cute pinwheels, but it also has a bunch of cute little sentiment flags, perfect for this paper yummy:
This card came together pretty darn quickly. Two stamps, some paper-piecing, and a couple of buttons, and BAM! Done! Here's a close-up:
I really hope you'll play along with this week's challenge. You have until next Thursday at noon EST to do so. Thanks so much for looking!
Supplies: card stock: Georgia Pacific (white), Core-dinations (kraft); patterned papers: Echo Park; stamps: Unity Stamps/Simple Stories; ink: Tsukineko; buttons: craft supply
