Sending Prayers

 Hello!  We are on birthday challenge #2 over on the Flourishes blog.  Today,  Cindy has a 10 minute creation challenge for you.  Details are at the bottom of this post.

As you can see, I didn't use any patterned paper except this scalloped border that was in my "extras" basket.  This is pretty CAS for me, I did stitch around the edges and sentiment tag which took only a minute to do.  Yes, this did only take 10 minutes!  I keep several baskets sitting around my desk.  One for cut cardstock, it has various sizes if card bases and mats that I ended up not using on a project.  Another, for leftover scraps of patterned paper, a box that has borders and another box that has die cuts that were never used on projects.  These are all handy for making quick cards.  Plus, I already had a sketch that I was going to use, so that took a lot of time off the process because I didn't have to sit and think about what I was going to do.



Here is the inside of my card.  I needed another sympathy card to send to my aunt for my uncle's passing.  I would normally have done this in pink, but she doesn't really strike me as liking pink so I opted for blue.  I was thinking about Stacy the whole time I made this card, she LOVES blue!  :)




SUPPLIES USED:



I used the sketch at Cardabilities for my CAS 10 minute creation.

  10. What a beautiful card and image this is! I love your CAS style and I really appreciate your sharing how you organize your bits and pieces. I have to dig through a basket and a box to find something that works and, frankly, it's NOT working for me. You've got me thinking. Thanks!
