{7.4.2012} i’m an outlaw…

Howdy Friends

Have you heard of The Outlawz Challenges?  It is a fabulous community of crafters and fun CHALLENGES.  They have a new challenge EVERYDAY.  I’m excited to be guest designing for the month of July for the Sunday CAS (clean and Simple) challenges.  Perfect fit don’t you think?  I love a good CAS challenge.

This week’s challenge is all about STARS!
I ♥ stars.

Did I mention I love stars???  Heehee.  The stars are a combination of punches and patterned paper.  The little ones around the sentiment where trimmed out of the same paper in the strip on the card.  Just glued around the sentiment.  Fun, right?  I combined a couple background stamps for a layered effect.  The yellow dots reminded me of stars in the night sky.

You can be an Outlaw too.  Just click on the banner above, sign up to join the ning group and EVERYONE will welcome you with open arms.  They are all so sweet.  You can find the CAS challenge group HERE.  Just click the button to join the group and start the fun.  There are some amazing prizes to be one.  Hope you will join us!

    Ok…so this shows I am a little too excited…I sat here thinking, ‘hmm…I am forgetting something’. Then, I remembered I didn’t comment on the card itself. Your card is FABULOUS and it shows that super power talent that you have for mixing patterns of paper to perfection! Lisa “The Paper Mixologist” Arana…yep, that’s you 😉
    Hugs!

    Lisa, Your card is so pretty and I love the sentiment! I really admire those who can do a CAS for I struggle with it big time:) I always want to add something here and something there and end up with a reg. card! Thank you so very much for being a GD on The Outlawz and the sweet words you you had to say about us! I am just amazed how we have grown. Thank you! Hugz, Colleen
