Afternoon all, hope this finds you well. A beautiful autumn day here in Suffolk, in fact it has been a beautiful week weatherwise, perfect for getting out and about on the holibobs which is what we have been doing. I'm not back at work until Tuesday so I am planning a craft day on Monday as I won't have Toad around itching to go out. There are times when I wish he was more of a couch potato!
Anyhoo, I've not been around in blogland much this week - mostly due to being out in the sunshine, but partly due to being occupied with a couple of orders that took up quite a bit of my time. I am relieved to say they are completed now and the customer has seen photos and given her approval, phew. So as an antidote to a couple of large and detailed cards, here is one of my favourites, small and CAS!
Apart from stamping straight onto the card base, they don't get much more CAS than this.
LOTV stamp - Festive Lantern
Painted with Distress Inks (ReInkers)

I am very excited that Strictly is back with us, and enjoyed last night's show a lot. I love Claudia's new look with the toned down eye liner and her trimmed fringe, it really shows off her pretty face, and I have to say that Tess did a great job. I am sure they both had first night nerves and will soon, like the dancers, settle in to the series. I did see a comment on FB complaining about Tess "touching" the celebrities a lot while she was talking to them - obviously that person never noticed how much Bruce used to do that! Looking forward to tonight's show and hoping that Greg Wallace isn't as flat footed as I suspect he might be. Unlike previous years, I don't have a favourite right from the start but I would like to see Simon Webbe do well (didn't realise he had such a sense of humour). Bring on the sequins!
Hugs to all
Squirrel xx
PS. Thanks to everyone who asked whether Toad liked his pirate birthday card - the answer is a resounding yes!
PPS. The Great Penguin Challenge 2014 closes at 6.00pm (UK) on Monday

Love your cute cas card. Not a fan of Strictly, don't know who most of them either. Dr Who for me tonight and a catch up on recorded programmes. Glad you had a good week off x
Such a lovely image and colours.xxx
I really like your expertise in the simplicity. It's a stunning card and so beautifully coloured it doesn't need anything else, deserving to be the focus of attention. However, I do love that sentiment too. The font combo is just perfect.
Have fun with Strictly.
Hugs

Perfectly CAS :-)
I really love the image you have chosen for this perfect CAS card and it's coloured beautifully. CAS is something I find difficult so must give it another go I think. I wasn't sure if I was going to enjoy Strictly this year with Bruce gone and some of the regular professional dancers changed but I was pleasantly surprised and am looking forward to next weeks show.
