CAS is HARD for ME…..
So the SUO challenge for this week was a CAS Christmas card….and shouldn’t all Christmas cards be CAS??? For anyone outside of the stamping world, CAS means CLEAN and SIMPLE…..and if you plan on making a boatload of cards for Christmas, they SHOULD be CLEAN and SIMPLE, right? I made a snowflake card last night that took me over an hour, would NOT work to make a boatload, unless I take up hating myself sometime in the near future. This card though, works up very quickly….and the most frustrating part is the tiny bow with the silver cording that is RETIRED from SU, but still, it WAS SU before they went and retired it!! And I miss it, too!! And I think they NEEEEEDED some to go with this great stamp set! It’s not too late to order this stamp set and whack out some CAS Christmas cards! Did I ever tell you that CAS is not my strength??? I have been known to spend 3 hours on one card…..not exactly the CAS type, and I envy people that can make cards quick and easy and still beautiful(like my friends, Vicki Dutcher and Mary Brown, just to mention two) – it’s an art in itself! Every once in a while I come up with a CAS idea like this one, and I feel so proud……bwahahahaha…..it’s just HARD for me so when I nail one, I rejoice! So rejoice with me, it’s pretty darn CAS, right??? Get making those Christmas cards everyone, the days they are a slippin’ away!! Until next time, Karen

I'm right there with you in the CAS dilemma. I just can't resist adding just one more element to my cards. LOL
