Baby Fairy Daffodil

Hey friends!! Hope you're doing well . . . and enjoying the current Covid-19 Virus "Shelter in Place" situation. I'm enjoying time in my studio . . . and reading . . . and taking in the gorgeous outdoors and sunshine here in South Carolina!! I have a little "Clean and Simple" (CAS) card to share with you . . .

This 5.5" x 4.25 card features Mo Manning's "Baby Fairy Daffodil."  I have so admired all those gorgeous CAS, white on white cards I've been seeing online . . . so I decided to try my hand at one!! This precious digi image can be found here in Mo's online store.

Here's a close-up . . .

This cutie is a Mo Manning image called "Cupcake Hamster" . . . . she's available HERE in Mo's online store. Here's a close-up . . .

Clean & Simple at Mo's

It's Thursday . . . and that means it's time for another challenge over at Mo's DP2 Challenge Blog!! And this fortnight's hostess is our very talented friend and DT sistah, Kim! She's chosen the theme . . .

"Clean & Simple"

Well . . . since I just got back from a glorious 10-day vacation in St. Martin/Sint Maarten, making a CAS card seemed just what the "doctor ordered"!! But before I show you what I came up with, here's a pic from our vacation in "Paradise" . . .

Anse Marcel (St. Martin, FWI)

OK . . . and now, here's my CAS creation . . .

This cutie is "Winter Fairy Halla" and is available HERE in Mo's online store!! You can still have glitter and rhinestones on CAS cards, right? Here's a close-up . . .

And one more view . . . I used a new embossing folder from Darice! Cool, huh?!

We're doing CAS at Sassy Cheryl's!

Howdy doo, kiddos!! Guess what? It's Tuesday again! Where is this year going?! haha! I figured I'd start saying that earlier this year! hehe! Oh . . . but guess what . . . it's time for another challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's Challenge Blog! And, guess who's hostess this week? Well . . . as luck would have it, it's the very sassy ME!! And, for some really insane reason (there may have been Bloody Mary's involved), I've decided that this week's theme should be . . .

"Clean & Simple"

What the what?! Everyone knows that I don't do Clean & Simple. In fact, when I mentioned to my husband that I'd chosen "CAS" for this week's theme, he just rolled his eyes! See? Even he knows!! So . . . after several hours of trial and error, here's what I came up with . . . 

What I want to know is this . . . does "Clean & Simple" mean that the card LOOKS "clean & simple"? Or does it mean that it was "simple" to make? "Cuz I think this card looks CAS . . . but it sure wasn't simple to make!! hehe! I've discovered that strategically placed embellies can hide a multitude of "goofs"! LOL! OK . . . enough blethering . . . do you recognize this cutie patootie? 

Why, it's Sassy Sally, of course!! And she's pretending she's "The Cat in the Hat"! Maybe that's why Sassy Cheryl named this image "Sassy Sally Plays Dr. Seuss"! You can find her HERE at Sassy Cheryl's Digis. Don'tcha just love that sentiment? That's me for sure . . . in fact, I seem to be "I'm growing older . . . but not up!" Bwahahaha! Here's a side view, sort of . . .
