Clean and Simple

Last week over at SCS on of the challenges was to make a clean and simple card (CAS). I loved this challenge and you don't realize how hard it is to make a CAS when you are used to layering, coloring and added embellishments. To make these cards I inked up the raised side of a CuttleBug folder with lettuce and currant Adirondack and brown VersaFine then ran it through the machine and you have this beautiful background. The tags are CuttleBug dies that were sponged with ink and stamped with words from the "Encouraging Words" set from Stampendous.

This was made using currant Adirondack ink and Stampendous stamps and circle stickers.

Below are closer up pictures of the CuttleBug cards.

As I post this I'm waiting for my refrigerator to be delivered. Saturday morning at about 5:30 a.m., we thought there was a fire downstairs. The kitchen filled with smoke and it smelled terrible like wires burning. We thought something was burning in the walls but couldn't find anything. Several hours later we discovered the refrigerator wasn't working so the motor must of burned up. On one hand I'm glad we don't have a problem in our walls, on the other wow are refrigerators expensive! Hopefully this will last at least 10 years, the one I currently have only lasted about 7 or 8 years.
