Mornin' y'all, how's your Friday? Ryan is off school today (WHY) and I didn't sleep well last night...only about 30 minutes after I fell asleep, I woke up screaming from a nightmare which never happens. I can't remember exactly what it was about but it was something scary next to my bed and as I was waking up my mind told me the scary monster next to the bed was...Captain Hook. The animated one from Disney's Peter Pan. But scary enough to make me wake up screaming? Weird.
Anyway, I have a card to share today and guess what? I used a new stamp set. And guess what else? They've already put it on the last chance list. The heck, SU. Things are current for a hot minute nowadays if you ask me, which is another reason to play with all my retired stuff so often. Anyway, here it be:
The colors didn't photograph well but it's what I've got. I used the colors from the CAS Colours & Sketches challenge:
Soft Sea Foam is not my favorite green, but I do like these colors together. Also we don't have houseplants in our house, except for one miniature orchid which I think has finally given up the ghost--we bought it as a distressed plant and the hubs has been trying to rehabilitate it, but I think it was too far gone. It's much kinder to plants if the only ones I have are made out of paper.
Anyway, I am on my second cuppa this morning and I'm about to go chivvy Ryan into doing his homework. If I don't go nap with Daphne first, she looks adorable. Cheers!
Supplies, all SU!
Stamps: On Display
Ink: Soft Sea Foam, Pool Party, Pretty Peacock
Paper: Soft Sea Foam, Pretty Peacock, Thick Basic White, Pool Party DSP
Accessories: On Display dies, Stylish Shapes dies, Mini Dimensionals

I really struggled with these colours so I am in awe of everyone's CAS C&S creations this week, including yours Christy! I love the layering of simple elements and the hint of plaid highlights your plant beautifully. As for lifetime of stamp sets - I have officially stopped trying to keep up, some things really are 'blink and you'll miss it' these days as far as SU is concerned. I think it does mean we all use more retired stuff - no bad thing. The nightmare sounds rough - hope your day improves!
What a great design, Christy - you've really put our colours to good use! Hope your day get better! Thanks for joining us at CAS Colours & Sketches
Such a great use of the colors Christy! I love that little plaid circle to show off the plant. A hello card anyone would love to receive. Hope you got your nap in! Thanks for sharing at CAS Colours & Sketches!
