J is for Journey

by

This week at Less is More, they're creating projects inspired by their blog header. I loved the two-tone color palette, the flourishes and musical elements.  I started with beautiful paper and elements from the Simple Stories Documented Collection (I love how they have shrunk down the pages of journaling cards in the 6×6" pad).   … Read more

Eat Your Greens

Since the ability to be *punny* was pretty much a requirement in our home growing-up if you wanted to be included in family banter … particularly during Sunday lunches at my Grandma's where the entire extended family was competiting for the stage … I thought I would create another card for the Jest for the … Read more

Knit Happens

This week's CAS-ual Friday Challenge is Jest for the Pun of it … to create a card using a pun or silly sentiment.  I used this week's Unscripted Sketch together with stamps from Kaspereks. I used the argyle embossing folder & Core'dinations cardstock to try to look like knitted fabric.
