Life is Messy!

  Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: CAS (clean and simple)

Here is my card for your inspiration:

I used to struggle with CAS cards, but I am starting to really appreciate them.  I'm not saying I can always pull them off well (there is a real art to doing that!), but I think this one turned out quite well, and cute!  There were three sets sitting on my table that had seen their first ink only earlier this month when I was creating my Valentine's Day cards.  I wanted to use at least one of them again before I put them away and this sweet little kitty won!  I stamped him on a very tiny scrap of white card stock and masked off his bottom half so I could make it look like he was riding on the robotic vacuum cleaner.  (Let me just say that I have one of these and my cats would never even get close to it!!).  Then I colored him up and fussy cut him out.  The striped paper was a scrap, I only had to trim it's length and the border die cut was cut from a scrap.  I stamped the sentiment and add the enamel dots (which were the very last two on the sheet-so they are also scraps of a sort) and I was done!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
