hi there! so school started wednesday and we are back to crazy busy over here! picking up, dropping off, carpools, getting supplies, paperwork, the list goes on and on! where did my lazy summer days go? even crazier than that, the weather here in southern california has been *hot*. like reminds me of las vegas hot. and yesterday we got a little treat because just before 4pm, the power went out!!! it was out for about 8 hours! total craziness! the fun news is that they cancelled school for today for my kids because the power loss was so extensive, lol! so i am back in lazy summer mode again, if just for today! :) i've got a couple cards to share, these first 2 are for 2 challenges, this week's cas-ual friday challenge (paper piecing with a fall theme) and this week's free for all challenge on scs (also paper paper piecing). since paper piecing happens to be my favorite technique, i had to play along! the first one is for a tween starting school, i thought it would be cute to paper piece some lockers in a rainbow colors. the lockers are an old retired stamp from a muse, and i used the paper smooches alphadots set to create the sentiment.
the next card uses the new halloweenies set from paper smooches. i have been waiting for kim hughes to create a halloween set and i am so happy it is finally here! :)
this last card i created for this week's cas challenge over on scs. the challenge was to create a card using shoes. i scoured my stamps and finally found this retired stamp from a muse. just a super cas one layer card. i hope you are having an awesome day! thanks for visiting! :)
very cute...love those witches shoes...so so cute..

Super cute cards!
I can't believe the outage went that far north... you all must have been right at the edge of it because we got away unscathed!

Oh, I LOVE that locker card! :) So glad you got some stamping time despite the craziness! It always helps, doesn't it?! :)

The first one and IMO one of the best! I am a sucker for rainbow colors, and the subtle pp you chose for the two lockers is genius. Pure CAS. Beauty. Can you tell I love it??? :) You have a great style and eye for CAS. Happy Fall!

The locker card is so fun and cute, but I love that little cutie pumpkin in the second one. He looks right at home on that circle. Thank you so much for playing along at CAS-ual Fridays this week.
