CFC95 ~ No Stamps; ATCAS9 and PBSMC ~ Spring

How're you doing this fine Tuesday?  For those of you still stuck in the rut of winter snow, sleet, and miserable snit on the sides of the roads, I send you a cyber sunray hug!

 

I'm here with a card I made for this week's CAS-ual Fridays Challenge (CFC95) of "no stamps."

The sponsor this week is the super duper SRM Stickers!

I am also joining in the evermore popular Addicted to CAS Challenge.  The very talented Harriet Skelly of Ally Cat Cards chose the cue word of "Spring."  ATCAS is sponsored this week by Clearly Besotted Stamps.

 

And here is my card:

And here is a picture of the three simple ingredients I used on my card:

 

 

The stickers are by Penny Black, "Wherever They Grow!" #10-183.  The clips are from unknown.  The ribbon is SU! Pink Pirouette #129294.

 

Now you might think, "How rude!  Why would she enter a card she made using Penny Black stickers in a challenge being sponsored by SRM stickers?!"

 

Well, you guessed it.  I don't have any SRM stickers.  I have Penny Black stickers and I'm trying to "shop my stash" this year and not keep piling on.  The inspiration (I hope) is still the same for you.  You can see how beautifully you can make a card using nothing but a sensational sticker and a ribbon.  Or, even, just a sticker.  And that will make you want to go over to SRM and check out their stickers!  That's how the hamster cage in my head rolls anyway.

 

Or, you might want to check out SRM Stickers AND Penny Black stickers because, having said that, it would be silly of me not to also enter my card into the Penny Black Saturday March Challenge where the theme is "Spring into Spring!"  This challenge is being sponsored by 1-2-3 Stitch, The Ribbon Girl, and J & C Creations!

 

So, my friends, there is so much inspiration in these challenge links and so many wonderful online shopping opportunities for you to check out.  I hope you will get the chance to do that and to join in these fantastic challenges!

On a side note, there was keen interest in how I made my little chevron basket yesterday, so I hope to make a photo tute this afternoon for you and amend that post.

But first I have to go to the dentist.  I like to think of my mouth as an upscale mini jewelry store with veneer walls, shiny white chandeliers, and tray after tray of silver and gold inlays.  The store will be closed for an hour while the cleaners come in to give the place its semi-annual spray wash and polish.  Feel free to talk amongst yourselves during this rare time of complete silence on my part.

 

I'll just ignore all that jumping up and down and clapping I hear there in the back of the room!  If I had long hair, I'd flip it with my hand and toss it over my shoulder hmmff style.  Since I don't, I'm doing an air toss instead of a hair toss.  It reads the same and it drives the young'uns bonkerz.

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