Clean & Simple Card Making 2 ~ Homework Day 5; OLW & CASology = A Perfect Game Day!

And we're back around to Friday.  I whooshed yesterday, so I won't do it today.  I don't want to sweep you off your feet.  But I will wish you a Warm Welcome to Feb U. Rary!

Okay, lots to show you, so I'll get right to it.

Another great class today on making CAS cards.  Today was stretching our stamping imagination and thinking of three ways we could use one stamp.  Always good to stretch that muscle, also good for the pocketbook.  (Oh, but that makes me so want to take you on a journey to the history of "pocketbooks," but there is not enough time today, alas.)  Julie Ebersole made a scrumilicious kraft card and I made my take and bake after hers.

The stamp IS embossed today and the highlighted sunflower and leaves have sparkle pen on them, but apparently, and more's the pity, my sparkle angle lens isn't working right now.  Please feel free to use your image maturation.

It was so fun checking in with a couple of challenges last night, that I did a couple more today.  Otherwise, I'll have challenge withdrawals and a chattering monkey on my back.  Sew.  Since I missed last week's One Layer Wednesday (sadly, I love doodling), I wanted to play this week.  Our hostess is the sensational Ardyth from Maskerade and she has chosen the theme, "Your Perfect Day."  That's not the least bit broad. 

No.

While I mulled that over, I saw that at CASology, where the diabolical talented Ardyth can also be found on the Design Team, the cue card is "Game."  Hmmm, I could feel light bulbs flickering up there in the party in my head.  I mean besides the disco balls.

Apart from spending time with Mister (spoken in my game show voice), doing artsy things in the Playhouse, especially artsy things with the twins, I do love games.  Playing a good board game, or putting together a puzzle, or a playing a game of cards, especially with my sisters, is a perfect day for me.

Then again, so is gardening, watching TV, or eating.  I'm very easy to please, you see, especially if you put eating at the beginning of any list.

It just so luckily happens that I found an old favorite fun toy at a thrift store for the twins this past Christmas. It's basically drawing with spirographs.  Do any of you remember Spirograph from the early sixties?  They still make it, but I saw the price on Amazon is like $50, which is ridic.  I paid $3 for it at the thrift store, without realizing what a bargain it was; I just got it for nostalgic reasons.  Anyhoo, the twins absolutely loved it.  Here's a look at it:

And here's the OLC flower card I made with it:

The three layers of color make it look blurry in the photo, but it looks cool IRL.  It was great fun playing ~ you could even call it a perfect day!  And I think this will appeal to Ardyth's geometaphorical style.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy your day. LITS!
