Hello, Gorgeous!
I made a card I liked so much, I made two of them with slight differences. Because one of the challenges I am playing with only allows a maximillion of three total entries per one card, I am making two posties.
For the Part A of the first part, card designees will all be deliminated and linked equally by the interests under which the contract subdivision for consideration of the remainder living parties is available in the challenge limitations with regard to boundaries and specificalcifications.
Can you tell I was a legal assistant for 45 years? That is to say, minus the made-up words, but don't think I wasn't tempted to stick a few of those in over the years.
Okay, get serious. Here are the challenges for the first card:- Clean and and Simple #269 ~ sketch.
- Fab Friday #32 ~ colors.
- Less Is More #148 ~ Sparkle, inspired by Guest Designer Gillian.
There is time to play in all the challenges and the links will provide you with the finest print available and any prize or sponsor details. I hope you'll join in the fun!!

Here is my card:
I thought these (NBUS) Verve leaf stamps looked a lot like mistletoe, so that's what gave me the idea to have them frame this apropopo sediment by CFS. Here is a close-up of the Gillian-inspired sparkle:
I couldn't resist sharing this cartoon that I saw on Facebook a few days ago. It took me a minute to get it and then I snorted out of my own nose, which was quite invigorous so I wanted you to have the same experience!
Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy. LITS*

Adorable card Darnell, I think the leaves work very well and I love your "kissletoe" post-header, which is genius, and so very, very you! :-) x

Great card - love the bold but simple look of it...ooh and the sparkle!
I have to say I love the card like this . The added holly is pretty but I love the less is more on this one. It's a CAS beauty. Love the Frosty cartoon! Too cute!
Cute and simple. I like this card. Love the cartoon!
What pretty mistletoe and so perfect with this sentiment! Love the cartoon! Snort!
Frosty made me snort out loud, so I had to share it with the kiddos, who also snorted -thanks for the morning laugh. Love your legalese - I may or may not have actually made up words in a release many years. Love the sketch & your take on it - definitely looks like mistletoe to me!
Frosty is hilarious!!! Such a pretty card - love how you did the two takes! And I am totally in love with the masking to provide space for the sentiment. I LOVE that look so much, but always forget to do it!
Fabulous card - absolutely! And your post - brilliant as always. The cartoon, however, is getting me the 'what is wrong with her...now' looks from my colleagues, because I'm laughing my face off! LOVE how you've brightened my day!

That stamp does look like mistletoe and the way you masked off the sentiment really makes it work.
The minute I started reading I thought "She's been working for lawyers too long." lol So much fun, made up words or not.
I love the card and the cartoon!!
Beautiful shades of green, very CAS
Great cartoon.

I wonder if all of those years of legalese is where you discovered your colorful/twisted vocabulary!! Sadly, it's almost hard to tell which words are real and which are Darnell-ese! I love this card - wonderfully clean but still so festive with the fun layout, colors and bright red dots!!
Picking his nose??!!!????!!!!
Love your sparkly card Darnell and your cartoon, put a smile on my face! Sorry for the lack of visits lately, life is far too busy
Ooh, Liked that Verve stamp here too! So very versatile - also bright & cheery. Just what a Christmas card should be! TFS & Hugs
So clean and quaint! I love your kiss-mas-y creation, Darnell!
Beautiful CAS card! Love the detail with the sparkle gel pen...it almost looks like the images are embossed! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
OK, so I'm still smiling... and IMHO I like this kissy card bestest.
What a fresh and fun card! I love that sentiment with the pretty mistletoe. Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday!
I can see why you love this card because I love it too! What a fabulous design! You did CAS to perfection with this one! Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday!
