Thanks Trish, for starting the thread this am...not sure what happened. Life has really gotten in the way of my crafting time and I am missing being here at SC. I am so happy for this thread and being able to see all the lovelies that I have missed.
thanks for posting everyone. |
OH my goodness! Thank you so much Trish for favoring my card! Completely unexpected, but I am so glad you liked it and I hope Lisa does too! :) CAS cards are not my usual and are the hardest for me to do, but after seeing Lisa's amazing gallery, it makes me want to try that style more often! Thank you so much to Karen for letting me know! You guys are the best! Now I am off to look at my favorites so I can post some here!

Mattsgirl, thank you so much for mentioning my valentine. I felt last week that I was "mojo-less" and you have given me a "spark"! Thanks too, Karen, for bringing Mattsgirl's comment to my attention. It is appreciated. Hugs, Sallie

Trish, thanks for mentioning my card today, that was so sweet of you!

I have had a cold this week, so if I didn't leave you any love, don't take it personally. :( Here a a few gems that I didn't yet see mentioned on this thread:
Made with Love by Biggan isn't CAS for her, but well worth sharing Gratitude by abbysmom2198 is very clean while using an eye-catching DP Valentine's Day Tree is a happy little card by Westie2 Bordered Best Friends is an example of why I'm fast becoming an inkpad fan Easels Galore is a really sweet collection of beautiful but quick-to-craft cards by mothers daughter Forever by SweetnSassyStamps is a perfect clean Valentine Lighthearted Masculine Valentine is a fun, sweet and wonderful card by ruby-heartedmom Valentine Bird by jaydekay was one of my favorites of the many amazing cards inspired by Loll Thompson's sketch last Monday For You by Holstein, however has to be mentioned favorably with that last card...pastoral and delightful Birthday Wish by MattsGirl is one of those cards that the more you look, the more you find to love Almalene by Pat Smethers is a perfect example of the best of clean and the best of elegant. Could I Have a Squeeze by Benzi is anything but a lemon Thanks to Trish for getting the ball rolling this morning and to Karen for the heads up that she shares each week - hugz to both of you! Thank you to each of you who posts cards for your inspiration. Have a peaceful week. |
