I haven't posted or created anything in a week. My RAK from June was supposed to post on Sunday, not Thursday -- wonder what happened there. Well at least you were able to see the BEAUTIFUL card that June created for little ole me.
Have you missed me? I missed you all. I have so many emails to return. Unfortunately I wasn't gone for a good reason. I had food poisoning -- YUCK YUCK YUCK. We are not absolutely sure where it came from, but we think it was some subs that we ordered last week. All 4 of us started getting sick last Thursday, and it was the only thing that all of us ate. Can I say YUCK again? I am not back to myself, still really weak, but I did create a card this afternoon. I really need to create some card for my stash, so when things get in the way I can still post something for you all.
This card is for the CAS challenge on SCS, and the sketch challenge on Stamping 411. I drew my inspiration from the postcard that you can see here. I think this is simple enough to qualify for the CAS challenge -- at least I hope so.
I need a guy birthday card, and I love using the sail boat from the Winds of Grace stamp set for guy cards. I colored the image with my SU markers, and then used a blender pen to soften it. I used my Parisian Breeze DP -- Did ya hear that SU is bringing back some of the retired In-Colors? I LOVE LOVE LOVE Baja Breeze -- don't you? Do you think they can bring back this DP too -- I think it is one of my all time favorites? The sentiment is from a retired Hostess set (I don't remember the name -- sorry).
Thanks for stopping by!!

This is lovely, Corie....so sorry to hear you were sick. My computer is sick, so I haven't been checking all my blogs in my reader, either! Hope you're on the road to recovery. I am glad they're bringing back Baja too!
Beuatiful card Corie! I love the little flag using the toothpick. Great idea!!

Poor you to have been so poorly. Glad to hear you're on the mend! Love your card - the flag tucked into the ribbon is an inspired touch. Love Baja Breeze too and we'll be getting it for the first time in the UK! Woohoo!
Corie, this is beautiful. Love the colors you've used. Perfect CAS card.

The coloring on this card is amazing! And I'll add another YUCK to your list of YUCKS, the stomach bug went through our house for over a week straight so I can really relate!! I'm so glad that the sickness is over for you and you'll start feeling better soon :)
