CTS#14; SSS; ATCAS #5; Bonus Day 1 ~ Washi Tape and A Valentine Heart For My Good Man

And we're back around to Friday ~ whoosh!

I made some funwork for Bonus Day 1 of my online Clean and Simple Card Making 2 class, which is various techniques using washi tape and dies.  I also saw the sketch for this week's challenge at CAS(E) this Sketch (#14) and I put the two together.  The wonderful sketch is by one of my favorite card artists, Jackie Rockwell.

 

 

I am also entering my card in the current Simon Says Stamp, where the theme is "Have a Heart" and where there is always a fab prize!

 

I left my card cleanly black and white, becousin I do love a black and white card.  I did toy with the idea of adding just a sweet spot of red ... I may still do that.  Sometimes it's hard to know when to stop and when to add just one tiny little sumpin sumpin, you know?  Well, course you do.

 

 

 

I think this could be filed in the "Valentine Card Ideas For A Man" file.  You don't even need stamps or ink to make it! 

At the urging of some friends, I'm also entering this as my second entry in the Hearts challenge at Addicted to CAS (ATCAS) #5, just under the twine, so to speak.

We have a new friend!!  You are going to be tempted to think I made up her blog name just to be silly, but I didn't.  This funsome crafty lady did it all by her ownself!!  Please welcome, Suzy from Suzie McFloozy!  Doncha just love that name?!  Thank you, Suzy, I think you'll find yourself right at home in our rockin party arty Playhouse!

So that's the end of card talk.  Feel free to fly down to the bottom, leave some love, and fly out!  It won't hurt my feelers if you don't read to the end; I know time is precious, Festus.  TFL!!

My sister, Dood, sent me an email she got from someone containing an essay written by A. Nonnie Mouse.  That gal sure writes a lot!  Since she prefers to remain unrecognized, I've gone ahead and taken some liberties with the text of the original email and then, after the quoted section, I've added a few of my own.  I'm sure I'll think of more after I've published this post. 

 

If you want, please feel free to add your own entry in your comment and I may just turn this into its own post or page here on the blog, giving your entry appropriate authorship credit, of course.  Here we go.
 

I have visited many places, but I've never been in Cahoots.  Apparently you can't go alone.  You have to be in Cahoots with someone.  

I've also never been in Cognito.  I hear no one recognizes you there, and the town is made up mostly of the family of A. Nonnie Mouse.

I have, however, been in Sane.  They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there.  I have personally made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family, and work.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but to get there you have to jump.  I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.

I've also been in Doubt.  That is a sad place to go and I try not to visit there often.

I have been in Continent, but I don't remember what country I visited.  It's an age thing.  I just remember that it was very wet and damp there.

I've been in Flexible a time or two, but only when it was important that I stand firm.

As I've gotten older, I find myself in Capable more often.

One of my favorite places to visit is in Suspense!  It really gets my adrenalin flowing and the old heart pumping!

Yesterday, I found myself in Adequate.  There are too many mirrors there for my comfort, which made me fully aware of my shortcomings.  If you get lost driving out of there, you may find yourself in Ability.  That's hard on your self-esteem, so beat feet out of there.

 

When I finish up here in a minute, I'm heading over to in Cessant.  I hadn't planned to go there today, but now that I've started this, I know that before I can even catch up, all the people in my head are going to be in Clined, where there is a huge Word Travel Agency.

Okay, your turn!  I think this will appeal to you word lovers out there.  This is a brain exercise, so no fair asking Mr. Google or his Dad, Mr. W. Wideweb, for help!!

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

Thank you so much for stopping by the Playhouse. Special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment or join as a follower!
