New Challenge @ CAS on Friday #331

 

Today begins a new challenge at...

CAS on Friday // #331 ...A clean and simple challenge with a theme!!  The theme for this current challenge is...BOTANICALS!!  I have so many pictures for botanicals in my Google Photos...my hubby is a fan for photographing flowers and foliage.  I even have some framed in our home.  So a framed botanical scene seemed perfect for this clean and simple challenge.

Now it is your turn!!  What stamps or dies do you have that would make a clean and simple botanical card?  For some inspiration and all the details for this challenge, hop on over to our blog!!

Never Before Used // #NBUS85 ...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 using a brand new frame die that I just won as a prize from Double Trouble challenges.
