Just playing around...

Hi everyone!  Happy Saturday!  I am on day 3 of 6 days off from work and I am loving every minute of it.  Yesterday, when Hollyanne got home from school, she and I began to work on a little holiday baking.  We had so much fun.  We made Puppy Chow (not for puppies though) and Surprise Teacakes.  We wore a lot of powdered sugar and sung and danced in the kitchen.  I felt so much joy!!

This morning, while it's still quiet in the house and just before I go make my 2nd cup of coffee and enjoy a bowl of oatmeal with blueberries and a few pecans (best breakfast in world!) I thought I'd play along with a few challenges just for the fun of it!  No design team sample, just to make a card.  And since CAS cards are a bigger challenge for me, I went with that.  So I am combining 3 challenges in this sweet card.  (Please excuse the quality of the photo, it's poor.  I don't like taking pictures in the morning in my room.  Lots of sunlight, but TONS of shadows.)

The first challenge is Clean & Simple which is the great layout I followed.  The second challenge is CAS-ual Fridays which is Holiday Dash and since they are joining efforts with 10 Minute Craft Dash.  Talk about a stressful challenge.  You have to create in 10 minutes or less.  But look!  I did it....

This was fun to do!

Thanks so much for visiting with me today.  Enjoy your Saturday.  I'm baking with Hollyanne again today and helping her with a scrapbook.
