For Darnell's challenges (I so look forward to those...like so many other people) The challenge is fun! There is also so much eye candy with looking at all the great cards that people submit to the challenge.
I usually try to use a NBUS item that has been in my craft room way too long to not be used. This card doesn't follow my rule, it's using some NBUS items that are brand new.
I went to a stamp show yesterday. (Had a blast!) and purchased some new stamps and dies from Sweet 'N Sassy stamps. The above card was made using a stamp called Happy, Happy, and a matching die set (Happy Day dies) I also used my new Memory Box dies Stitched Rectangle Layers.
Hubby went with me, and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. So glad he went with me, and I think he enjoyed the day too. I could have stayed longer...but I thought the longer I would stay the more I would spend...smile.

Thank you for visiting my blog today,

Beautiful card Jill - and yes, CAS can take longer than fussy - much to my frustration.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying about staying longer at the show and spending more - I take cash only, and once that is done, that's it!

What a great CAS card well worth the time but like you I do find them difficult to do . Looks like a great craft show and your goodies look fab I'll look forward to more stunning creations Love and hugs Carole x
ReplyDeleteHi Jill, I just saw you commented on fellow blogger Carole Zorzo...she's so talented I love her work. Have you seen her Pinterst boards...wow!
ReplyDeleteThat's a sunny happy card. Darnell is another favorite...Your second entry in NBUS...good luck
Was the stamp show local?
Be well Carole
This is such a happy and sunny card! Love your design on this!! :) I agree with you on the simple style. I used to make those fancy BIG cards and it's really ridiculous if you want to mail one out...so I stopped making them! :)
ReplyDeleteSweet CAS card (I really like that stitched rectangle die detail) and lots of great new goodies to play with, have fun!
ReplyDeleteJill, your CAS card is absolutely wonderful; the sentiment works because I have a smile alllll over my face in seeing it! A stamp show? What fun that must have been and your purchases...oh my! I'd so enjoy such an excursion, but I'd have to give myself a time limit, too! Thank you so much for visiting my blog; sparkle added to my day!

THis is such a happy cheerful card! Well done :) Glad you had a nice time at the show - and BTDT with the camera!
ReplyDeletethis is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love this CAS card Jill and you have thought about what to put in and what to leave out and the finished result is just perfect. I adore the stitched rectangle with the black card behind which goes beautifully. Thank you for the lovely comment you left on my blog. x
ReplyDeleteBeautiful....love classy. Hugs Deloris
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you got lots of new goodies at the stamp show.
ReplyDeleteI can see why that stamp set is called happy happy. You definitely made a happy card with it. I like the yellow sparkly brads.
I love the CAS card with the bright colors and sun! I never made it to that Allentown show yet but I'm glad you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteOh Carol, I hope one of these days you do...It's lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteNot just seeing all the goodies but seeing the demos, and getting to do some of the makes and Takes, etc.
Wow! This is wonderful card and love the CAS look with the black white and yellow. Plus it looks like you had fun at the show.
ReplyDeleteSo cute and it did make me smile. It made me think of a song my mom use to sing to us. "Let the sun shine in - face it with a grin".
ReplyDeleteLook at that new mountain of NBUS you got!! How fun, Jill, and good for you! I know you will enjoy every item! I'm so sorry that it has taken me so long to come and see your darling card and thank you for linking again with my NBUS Challenge #4! Life and Easter company got in the way of anything bloggie.
ReplyDeleteI give you a high ten for your CASlicious sunny card!! I'm sorry you did a bit of hemming and hawing over it, but in the end it truly is a beautiful composition!
Thank you, also, for your very kind words of support and friendship! Enjoy your day!! Hugs, Darnell
Must have been a fun day at the show. I haven't gone to one in many years. I just love the look of your wonderful CAS card!
