ATCASE #5; CAS(E) #12; CASology #28; Pixie's #57 ~ A Heart Martini

Happy Funday!

Thank you for taking a break from whatever you were doing and stopping in!  We got a last-minute call that the twins are feeling better, so we're heading out to meet the family for lunch.  Yippee! 

For my card today, I used this delightful sketch from CAS(E) This Sketch:

And thanks to the great ladies who bring us these fun challenges to fuel our imaginations, I am also playing in this week's CASology, where the cue card is "DRINK," and Addicted to CAS: ATCAS #5, where the code word is "HEARTS."  Thanks to Di and her encouragement to use up my scraps, I am joining the girls on the snowy playground at Pixie's Crafty Snippets.  I hope you get a chance to check out these great challenges!

Walla:

I turned the olive cocktail pick into a heart cocktail pick for you to stir your martini, baby, made extra icey cold so's not to melt your hearts too soon.  Slurp. 

Oh, and I used a marker to ink up my martini stamp, so I could leave part of the stem uninked in order to lay my sentiment in the middle of it.  Then, after stamping the sentiment, I just sketched in the stem by hand, so it ended up looking like one big image, instead of two.  Did I fool ya?

Speaking of parties, please help me welcome more new friends!  Today we have:

Just real quick, for those of  you who have been praying for, or sending positive thoughts to, my blog friend, Bernie, I want you to know her bowl of onions is not quite as big as she feared, but she still does need us to help her get through her fight with cancer.  You do make a huge difference and she is so appreciative and so am I.  Thank you! 

You're the best!  In fact, here's a favorite song of mine, all about peeps helping peeps!  Bill Withers, singing "Lean on Me," here.

Okay, gotta dash for a twin fix!  You enjoy your day today, too!  No, seriously, enjoy your day.  LITS!
