Gratitude

Hi, all! This week marks my last as a design team member for the Splitcoast CAS challenges. I can't believe it's been three months already! Where does the time go?

This week was a Make-Over challenge: we were to pick a card we'd previously made--one that wasn't CAS or one we were unhappy with--and rework it. I chose this card, keeping the same color scheme (and I even had a scrap of the same flowery paper--yay for hoarding!), but removing some of the layers and embellishments.

I chose this sentiment because I am truly grateful for all the support and amazing comments I've received during my time on the CAS DT. Thanks to Jen for being such a fabulous hostess and coordinator, and a shoutout to my fellow DT members, Harriet and Lisa! It's been SO much fun!

Stamps: Beautiful You (Verve)
Paper: Bashful Blue, PTI white, The Paper Studio & SU dp
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Accessories: spring flower bouquet punch (SU), rhinestone (Kaisercraft), dimensionals
