Hello friends!!
First, let me just say – you ALL rocked last week’s challenge!! I had such a hard time narrowing down my faves because they were all just so amazing!! I’m back today to share this week’s new CAS-ual Fridays Challenge, which is to create a CLEAN & SIMPLE card design and include an element that hangs off the edge of the card in some way. Come on now, all you linear types like myself, it’ll be painful, but you CAN do it!! LOL
This week’s sponsor is Lil’ Inker Designs, a super fun online company that makes some of the ca-YUTEST images and coordinating dies. You seriously need to check them out – you’re going to love them as much as I do! Lil’ Inker Designs has provided an amazing prize for this week’s TGIF, but you’ll need to head on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog to find out what it is. Oh, and while you’re there – check out the other delicious goodies that the other Girl Fridays have created for your viewing pleasure and inspiration.
As I’m sure you can guess, I STRUGGLED with this challenge, simply because it goes against my OCD linear mind. But, I followed the rules like a good girl, and am pretty stinkin’ happy with the end result, although looking at it again I wish I had moved the bottom panel up a bit more . . . I feel like it’s a bit unbalanced, like it has a big forehead. LOL What do you think? I seriously can’t wait to see what you all come up with for this challenge – I know you’re going to come up with some amazing stuff!!
That’s it for me today, kids! I’ve been enjoying a fun visit with my oldest daughter, son-in-law, and adorable grandson for the last few days, and today I’m off to spend the weekend with 20 super fun women in San Francisco and Napa!! What fun plans to you have the weekend? Thanks so much for stopping by . . . your sweet comments and kind words mean the world to me!

Beautiful colors and layout, Karolyn! My daughters have a party to attend and I plan to stroll around a craft store for HOURS because I CAN that day. ;) Have a great weekend. ;)

that color combo is off the hook fresh!!!! i think it works as is, but you're right about moving it up a notch for more balance too. yes yes, you're a very good girl and played by the rules quite nicely this week. :PPPPP
Such a cute card, love the color combo!
Had to laugh...what is killing you more, the fact that the white piece overhangs the card or that everything is at the bottom and not evenly placed like you would normally want to do it? BTW, Kelli would call it a "fivehead", instead of a big forehead...haha~
