CAS-ual Fridays: Let's Strip :)!


It's Friday!  I'm off today (like yesterday) and if the weather isn't too crazy hot today, we'll be heading out to our local amusement park, Kings Island, with the three younger boys.  They are beyond excited to go!  The last couple of years Ryan and Jonathon have had season passes, so the little guys at time feel a bit short changed on Kings Island visits!  But today is there day...and I'm sure by the end of the day, I'll be ready to drop!

Now...back to business.  We have a fun challenge for you over at CAS-ual Fridays this week!  We'll see if you like it as much as the text challenge from last week...there were over 200 gorgeous entries! WOW!  You all amaze me with the wonderful way you interpret the challenge.

Our sponsor this week is Freckled Fawn and the prize is a $25 gift certificate.  Be sure to check out their beautiful washi tape!

For my card today, I used some of my favorite Lily Bee Designs patterned papers and a sweet little Jillibean Soup sentiment tag.  A nice little square card to inspire you!

Hope your weekend gets off to a great start.  Pop on over to CAS-ual Fridays to check out the design team inspiration!

I had to laugh at the challenge name...it's got 50 Shades of Grey written all over it! ACK! LOVE your papers...some of my favourites too...I really love the lines from Lilybee. Oh, and that wooden banner is perfection...wood is good! Having coffee in my Ohio mug again, thinking of our phone call last year at this time, selling the townhouse, traveling, all sweet memories I keep close in my heart :)

I love how you took some of the strips off the edge of the card. That wooden tag is the coolest, too! Hope you had a great time at the park--I haven't been to King's Island in many years. :)
