New Challenge @ CAS on Friday #336

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

CAS on Friday // #336 ...A clean and simple challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge is BIRDS!!  I was excited that my new stamps and dies from Stampin Up arrived in time for me to use them for this challenge.  The birdies from Cutest Crew are perfect for this new challenge.  I used both the stamps and the dies.

                                                  

Now it is your turn!!  We can't wait to see your clean and simple BIRDS in our gallery.  Hop on over to our blog for all the details on our new challenge.  While you are there, check out all the great creations from the rest of our design team.

2 additional challenges inspired today's card...

            

Ellibelle's Garden Party // #16 ...An "anything in or from a garden" challenge!!  Great minds think alike...the next challenge is almost the exact theme.

Allsorts Challenge // #AC851 ...An "anything from the garden" challenge!!  In my garden there are lots of birds...that might be because I have a bird bath and a feeder.  The birds amongst the blooms completes my little safe haven.  

Stampin Up's Cutest Crew

Never Before Used // #NBUS87 ...

The NBUS blog doesn't give challenges but offers a great place to show off those items that have "never been used"...whether they are brand new or items that you have had for a while but haven't gotten around to using.  Today I am inking up, for the very first time the birdies from Stampin Up's Cutest Crew stamp set and I am using their matching dies for the first time as well.

Inspired By Challenge // #IB391 ...An "inspired by" challenge with an optional sketch!!  I used both the sketch and the "inspired by" fish theme.  But...I missed the cut off for the inky entry.  Oh well I am giving credit where credit is due.
