aloha... monday?

isn't it weird how a holiday weekend totally disorients one's sense of time? i've honestly woken up four days in a row thinking it was sunday! mind you *yesterday* i was actually correct, so there's that! meanwhile, i'm fairly certain today is monday, and i thought it'd brighten things up a bit if we all had a nice little daydream about hawaii, k?

white kromekote cardstock: the paper cut; dies: echo park (hibiscus) and spellbinders (foliage); vellum letter stickers: amy tangerine/american crafts; patterned paper: doodlebug; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape, sewing machine

in keeping with my self-imposed mandate to try making more CAS cards, i'm jumping in on challenge #201 at CAS colours and sketches, it's a sketch this week, and apart from rotating it 90 degrees, i've been pretty literal with it. i do  have a teeny bit of pattern in my mat, which i hope doesn't disqualify me, but as anyone who knows *ME* will tell you, this is uber-CAS in the laurniverse, lol, and i'm fairly pleased with my take! :)


i'm also jumping in with the crafty friends challenge #45: blossoms, since i have this rather nice hibiscus!


have a good day and a great week! aloha, darlings! ♥

  3. Fab flower arrangement. Do you crochet? I saw something on crochet mandalas somewhere and thought of you...might have been while wandering the aisles at Michaels looking for some yarn.

  5. Oh, hell yeah, this is CAS in Laureniverse! CAS is a subjective thing, and a mood thing... you did fine in my book. (Everything you touch turns to pulp-gold.) Did I tell you that I'm off to Maui in January?
