Masterclass Continues

The masterclass with CASual Fridays Stamps continues at StampNation.  Yesterday the colorfully talented Michelle Lupton shared a rainbow of sassy cards.  Monday was my Sassy Yet Classy tutorial and a new one will go up tomorrow.  All classes are free for StampNation members and the classroom never closes, so you can watch them again and again for inspiration.

Masking Challenge Sneak Peek & Winners

Happy Wednesday!  It's the first week of Spring, so I felt the need to make a floral card for this week's challenge over at StampNation.  I used a double masking technique to create this one layer card, and spotlight some of the flowers with a bit of color.

Stamps: Enchanted Garden (SugarPea Designs)

Ink: Fiesta Blue, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs) Various Copics

Paper: Bright White (CPD)

The design team had a lot of fun with challenge! If you are a StampNation member and want to check out the full card along with the rest of the design team and member pictures, clicky.  If you aren't yet a member, sign up today and have full access to the site.  :)

Michele has announced the $15 CAS-ual Fridays Stamps winners from our Calling All Sistahs blog hop last week.  Were you a winner?  Clicky to go find out!  Our next hop will be on the 17th and we would love to have you be a part of it!   

BIG Announcement

I've been sitting on some pretty exciting news and today I finally get to share it with you!  Some of you may remember me telling you about the design team call for CAS-ual Fridays Stamps.  Clicky here and here if you want to read all about it.  I decided to give it a try and applied for a position.  

The application asked for several things, one of them was an answer to the question: "Why are you applying?"  Of course I mentioned how much I love CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, and would jump at the opportunity to work with Michele and her girl Fridays design team.    But, then I mentioned something that was on my heart: The biggest reason I want to join your team though is to be a part of your Calling All Sistahs campaign.  As you know, your story touched my heart and I have jumped whole-heartedly into the idea of reminding our sistahs to "check yo-self".  What you don't know is how your story has impacted me personally.  I would love the opportunity to share that story...

Guess what?!!!!  Within 48 hours I had an offer to do something AH-MAY-ZING with Michele!  She asked me to help her run the Calling All Sistahs Blog Hop so that she can include even more people and reach even more sistahs!  She told me to take as much time as I needed to decide.  It took me one flat second to reply YES! YES! YES!   I didn't even know what it would entail, but I already knew I wanted to be a part of it.  My heart's desire is that nobody would ever have to suffer and die from breast cancer again.  Until there is a cure, early detection is still the best first line of defense.   There is also power in women joining together to take charge of our health.  

You can read my announcement on the CAS-ual Fridays blog HERE.  Thank you so much, Michele, for asking me to help in your great cause.   I look forward to working with you and your team to make this campaign grow!   If you are here from the CAS-ual Fridays blog and want to see my Calling All Sistahs posts, I'll list them below.   If you are new to the Calling All Sistahs campaign, I'll include that link too.
