You should have hopped here from Jen J's blog:
If not, the fun starts over on the Whimsy Haven blog! Remember that there is a random draw on the comments that are posted on each of the DT's blog for a Whimsy Haven set...one lucky poster can play with today's fabbie Whimsy Haven prize!
Also be sure to check out the Whimsy Haven blog for the $1 Wednesday goodie....remember that it is only for Wednesday and then the goodie goes to regular price on Thursday...great way to stock up on Lindsay's CUTE images!
Okay, I know...I know...onto the card. I used the Card Patterns #61 sketch:
Here's the thing, it is a super clean & simple sketch and boy, did it throw me...I don't know what it was but I was determined to keep it CAS. Funny thing is that when I started card making I was purely the CAS girl, things have definitely changed and so I'm going to make at LEAST 1 card a week that is CAS...
This card looks over the top CAS....like almost too easy smeasy...is that what you all are thinking? Well, let me tell you, it was one of my most labor intensive cards...LOL...seriously! I machine stitched that sunshine...everything except the text. Now, if I was a smart cookie, I would have done it by hand but for some silly reason, I didn't {slaps forehead}.

Do you see the threads that are sticking out? Hmmm....they actually kind of bother me but I happened to read born to fly's post...are you familiar with her blog...OMGoodness....such lovely stuff...but check out #1 on her list...'more character'...I like that...granted she is writing about hand stitching but that's okay by me:)
Anywho's...there is something about the duo of yellow and red that make me extremely happy...kwim? The sun is from the Rainy Day set....it's soooo CUTE and hey, I'm a washingtonian, so it's perfect for me:)
