CAS Summer 2011 DT Search: Beach Party: Clean and Simple Cards

die cut diva · 05-27-2011, 11:35 AM

Here is my final card:
Happy Summer

I kept with the beachy theme again. Can't wait to see everyone's cards!

nancy littrell · 05-27-2011, 04:19 PM

OMG Jen, this was just so much fun

I was totally "inspired" by the colors and shapes in the sand toys. It has been so great to be part of all 3 rounds. I would do it again in a minute

Thanks so much for all you do Jen and keep us up to date regarding Brian's progress. My next card will be a get well for Brian. Love to you all, nancy

Inspired to Create

Such gorgeous cards ladies, and thanks for the new challenge Jen. I must now get my thinking cap on ...... what to make? Hmmmmmmmmm ........... Hope Brian is coming along a little more each day. Thinking of you all.

mocjen · 05-27-2011, 08:29 PM

This was SO much fun!!! I have to say a huge thank you to Jen for including me, I had a total blast with these challenges! This was such a great inspiration piece too, I really enjoyed it.

Here is mine:

Hello There

mtgchic · 05-28-2011, 03:04 PM

Aw, man, I can't imagine having back-to-back sessions like that! But the only five weeks part sounds good!

stampercamper · 05-28-2011, 05:06 PM

Yep....5 weeks isn't bad...I'm only doing 4 classes and they are all online so that is doable!

Tilly · 05-29-2011, 02:36 PM

OK, after much deliberation, here's mine:

Good luck girls! This has been a lot of fun.
P.S. Thanks to Beth for letting me know I'd put the wrong link in this post earlier.

cookiebaker · 05-29-2011, 07:31 PM

Whew...this is going to be a tough one!

mom2n2 · 05-30-2011, 06:12 PM

I had so much fun with the inspiration! Thank you so much for the opportunity - I had so much fun

Here's my card.

CAS Hello

The gallery is "simply" fantastic!

PH in VA · 05-31-2011, 11:32 AM

Finally, here's my card. I really wanted to do something using different embellishments but they are hiding from me so I had to change up my plans. I'll probably find them next week...

At any rate, I have another card for Operation Write Home now!

Anyway, here's the link: barefoot at the beach party by PH in VA

Best of luck to all of the finalists! I've enjoyed the competition.

mepylant · 05-31-2011, 12:40 PM

I just went through the final round gallery! Wow-wy! you girls are talented! Good Luck to all

mocjen · 06-01-2011, 06:38 PM

I am so excited for tomorrow night to find out who made the team!!

I just realized that the campfire will be going on during my kids' open house at their school. The open house starts at 6pm here, right when the campfire gets rolling. I didn't want anyone to think I was skipping out on it by not being here. I will check in as soon as I can!

Tilly · 06-01-2011, 09:01 PM

I hope I've got the time right for the Camp Fire Thursday night. I checked the online time converter and it said 9 p.m. EDT Thursday would be 1.00 p.m. Friday for me. I'll be here, ready and waiting, eating my lunch!

nancy littrell · 06-02-2011, 03:18 PM

Hi girls......only about 2 hours to go

I will be checking off and on while watching the 2nd NBA finals game with my DH Denny. I am so excited for ALL of us

I feel like a winner already just getting into the final round with so many awesome CAS stampers. Thanks again Jen for the opportunity to play. You are amazing and so dedicated.

Good Luck to us all

Happy Stalking !!!!

ReginaBD · 06-02-2011, 03:24 PM

Does everyone have their s'mores ready?

nancy littrell · 06-02-2011, 03:32 PM

Heh....I just ate a graham cracker......does that count? I am off to fix a quck and easy dinner. Don't want to miss out on the fun

Tilly, you get my vote for the WAY FARTHEST AWAY

How is the weather in NZ ? Still cloudy with showers off and on on the beautiful Southern Oregon Coast. Bye for now, nancy

PH in VA · 06-02-2011, 03:49 PM

No s'mores here. Will popcorn do? My son just popped some.

resqbarbie · 06-02-2011, 03:52 PM

Holiday challenges? That sounds fun.

About 38 more minutes to go before the campfire is lit!

PH in VA · 06-02-2011, 04:23 PM

Jen, how is Brian doing?

mamamostamps · 06-02-2011, 04:34 PM

Hi ladies! Is everyone excited? I am, I love smores

nancy littrell · 06-02-2011, 04:34 PM

Boy is this getting fun

Holiday challenges.......cool! Yes, how is Brian? Don't we have fun !?!

mtgchic · 06-02-2011, 04:35 PM

Hi gals! Popping in and out here, as I have some cards to actually put in the mail (gasp!) for tomorrow.

mamamostamps · 06-02-2011, 04:36 PM

LOL mtgchic!!!

die cut diva · 06-02-2011, 04:39 PM

Just popping in to say hi, and that I'm off to the grocery store (maybe I'll get some graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate?!) I'll check in when I get back!

stampercamper · 06-02-2011, 04:43 PM

You mean we are supposed to SEND the cards we make???? Why didn't anyone ever tell me! hehehehehehe

Hey, don't feel bad. That's like how last night at about 10:30 I started on my mom's birthday card so I could mail it today. Her birthday is tomorrow.

Hi. My name is Patricia, and I am a procrastinator...

p.s. Is it bad that I uploaded the card to my SCS gallery today *before* I took it to the post office?

stampercamper · 06-02-2011, 04:53 PM

It's almost time!!!!

I'm ashamed to admit that I'm bad about getting them in the mail. LOL!

Really, you just stockpile them? Or what? I'm genuinely curious.

BTW, it's nice to "meet" someone from Xenia, Ohio! I've never been there; I just know it as one of the few places in the United States that begins with the letter X.

Well, he's had a hard time the past couple of days. His pediatrician is consulting with the kidney specialist tomorrow since he's never been seen (yet) and we can't get there until the casts are off. His BP is dangerously high even on meds.

He's also having problems with the casts and the surgeon's nurse is calling us back tomorrow.

Me... I haven't had a full night's sleep in awhile. (One night since the surgery.)

LOL... I think you're a normal addicted stamper.

Uh oh... look at the time.

stampercamper · 06-02-2011, 04:59 PM

I give alot to family members to use. I'm absolutely HORRIBLE about sending things. Xenia is such an odd little town...we are Ohio's 'windy city' as we tend to have issues with tornadoes. Last week was a tough one...fortunately no tornadoes touched down but did some damage to roofs and trees. The hail really caused alot of problems.

I'm sorry he hasn't shown more improvement yet. Poor fella.

I hope you can get some better rest in the near future, too.

stampercamper · 06-02-2011, 05:00 PM

Oh Jen...sorry to hear about Brian having the problems with his blood pressure still. That has to be so frightening!

Tilly · 06-02-2011, 05:01 PM

Hi everyone. We don't get smores here but I'm sure I can find something equally delicious and fattening instead! It's a wet, windy and miserable winters day here today but it's good indoor-sitting-eating-crafting weather so I'm not complaining.
I'm looking forward to the party!
