Hello friends! Soooo... the beans have been spilled! I've been dying to tell you since I got Michele's invite almost a week ago. I hardly could believe it, given the fierce competence out there! So starting in May...
This is so exciting! Not only I get to join a challenge blog that I love, but I will also be part of a team formed by a super talented group of designers I have long admired. They are CAS masters, I tell you :) Thanks, Michele, for this incredible chance and for all the hard work behind the scenes. I'm so looking forward to get started!!! There are going to be A LOT more fabulous surprises in the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog in the next weeks, so stay tuned, crafty friends, because you don't want to miss anything!
I had made this card for last week's challenge, a card that featured something that could be found in an Easter basket. Because of light issues I couldn't link it in time, so here it is anyway. I think the sentiment is perfect for today's great news :)
I was doubtful about including a sentiment or leaving the birdie's tweets as an any occasion sentiment, but I finally decided to stamp that little sweet message.
Oh, and of course don't forget to play in this week's challenge!
Even though now I'm not eligible to win, I know I'll be creating something for it this weekend. Isn't that color wheel inspiring? :)
Thanks so much for visiting and sharing my excitement!
Supplies: Cardstock: Canson; Stamps: (chicken) Pink Paislee, (sentiment bubble) Hero Arts, (music notes, sentiment) PTI; Ink: (brown) Versafine, (greens) PTI; Patterned paper: My Mind's Eye, October Afternoon; Other: Tiger fringe scissors, Corner Chomper.
*squeal* I'm so excited for you Lorena! Your card says it all!
