Here is my take on the Library Challenge...this week's book is The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. My inspiration for the card...I stamped a girl (while more of a LADY than the goth girl in the book) and I "tattooed" my paper (does embossing work as a tattoo??) And my sentiment...I guess Lisbeth lived by this sentiment even if she was filled with anger!
Materials Used: Stampin Up's Beautiful You stamp set...Tuxedo and Real Red ink...embossing filigree...corner rounder punch

CASology's cue card this week is TURN!! Whether it is about standing in line and "waiting your turn" or "turning" round and round as you ride...a Ferris wheel is the perfect TURN image.

Both of these challenges are CAS challenges (Clean And Simple), and I think I did a good job keeping this card very clean and simple!!

Today I am playing along with a challenge from the Addicted to CAS blog....I'm really not addicted, I find it more of a challenge to keep things Clean And Simple.
