Week 187 - CAS (Clean and Simple)

Hello Crafters

HAPPY NEW YEAR 
TO ALL MY FABULOUS
FOLLOWERS

I hope that you all enjoyed a lovely Christmas enjoying all the family being around and having time to rest, eat and drink!  I was a very lucky girl as Mark bought me a lovely ring for my thumb and Kate (our daughter) bought us tickets to see Strictly at Birmingham in a couple of weeks!!!!! oooooooo I hear you say lucky people.  
I hope that your New Year celebrations went well too.  Did you make any New Years Resolutions?
I did, some I can share, some I wont bore you with! I would love to hear yours but I bet there was a lot of you that said that they would keep their craft rooms tidy!!  .............  Whatever!!!!

There is one that I definitely am going to stick to and that is to blog more often that once a week and to get the ball rolling on this I am offering some blog candy on a post tomorrow so please pop by tomorrow to see what I have to offer.

Back to today.
As it is Saturday it is the Allsorts Challenge as usual and this week the Challenge is from our lovely Emma and is ...
CAS - Clean and Simple
this is what I have come up with and I have used a Digital stamp from one of our fabulous sponsors

 I'm not sure that this is particularly clean as I have used Walnut Stain distress ink around every edge but it is very difficult for me not too! The image is Louie and Cupcake and can be found in the Images with flowers section.  I have coloured it in pro-markers. The background papers are from the Kanban range.

Please pop over to the Allsorts Challenge blog to check out the other Design Team projects and also welcome our fabulous new Teamies at Allsorts.  
Thankyou also to our 2nd sponsor Flonz Craft for their continued support.

Don't forget to pop by tomorrow to check out the Blog Candy - it is worth it!
Hope that you enjoy a great weekend and thank you, as ever, for popping in and special thanks if you leave a comment. 
Hope to see you tomorrow
~Bye for now

  1. Needs must Jo and I'm sure CAS can accommodate a little distress ink.

    You have used a very pretty colour palette on your card and the prefect sentiment for the image.

    Hope you have a good weekend.
