I'll let you in on a secret ... this card was put together in about 5 minutes! Talk about CAS !!! I had not only forgotten about doing a card for this week's Sisterhood challenge, but then I saw an email that "very kindly" reminded me that it was MY TURN to host the challenge ... YIKES ... PANIC TIME!!! But I just took a deep breath pulled out my Basic Grey booklets ... I looked through for the proper color combo and this card was born! Amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it!! LOL!!Now for my second card ... we are headed over to the challenge at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog. Today we are taking it easy with "Anything Goes". Again, I have gone with a CAS creation.
Thanks everyone for stopping by today! I hope you are having a wonderful day! My sweet banana peppers need rinsed now, seasoned and packed in jars! I had planned on taking photos during this canning process but when hubby & I were finished with all the cleaning and cutting I realized I had forgotten to grab a photo ... Ooops! Oh yea, we decided to do more than JUST peppers ... we are also making Giardiniera ( pickled banana peppers, cauliflower, celery, carrots, garlic, jalapenos and pearl onions). I will be sure to share the "finished product" with you!!
I love the simplicity of the Sisterhood card. I think its the butterflies...I seem to be drawn to every card with those flying beauties attached to it.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing pics of your goodes.

This card is beautiful. Amazing what happens when you only have a few minutes!!
ReplyDeleteYour peppers sound wonderful. The ones I tried last year turned out mushy. YUCK-O Didn't attempt them this year, but I have done tons of pickles and tomatoes. Just got done picking @ 80pounds more to can. It's gonna be a busy week!
This is gorgeous x Leigh x
