Oh Happy Day!

Welcome to ATCAS #40 hosted by our fabulous hostess Karen and who selected the code word: TRANSPORT for us.

Our guest designer for the month of June is Karen from Snippets!  Karen is an outstanding CAS stamper so I know we are all in for a treat this month!  Welcome Karen!

We have StampArt Designs by Kathryne as our sponsor again.  Please check out the Addicted to CAS challenge blog for more information about the prize.  While you're there check out the samples from the ATCAS design team - lots of inspiration there!

I used the Freshly Made Sketch for my card layout and was inspired by the Runway Inspired Challenge:

I was inspired by the colors and the the grey circles or scallops of the shirt are reflected in the wheels of the bicycle and the grey patterned paper that has a darker shade of gray circles.  The bicycle is an image from Hot Off The Press and the sentiment is from Avery Elle.  The patterned papers are from MME.

I am submitting this to the CAS-ual Fridays challenge - What a Catch (masculine card, no kraft and use a ribbon)

and to Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Fathers Day/Masculine cards.

Thanks for coming by!

FBW246 - Happy Summer!

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday 246!  Our theme this week is SUMMER! This is our last challenge until August 7th.  We are taking a bit of a summer break but I'm sure I will have some butterfly posts between now and then!
This was a real challenge for me - trying to figure out how to incorporate butterflies with a summer theme.  Then I had the vision of butterflies flying out of this bicycle basket.  I just found the sun and sentiment stamp set at Michaels - in the $1.50 bin and I thought it was perfect to go with the scene.  The patterned papers are from MME Sunny pack.  The cloud dies are PaperTrey and the little butterflies are from a MS punch.  The bike image is from Hot Off The Press.
