Feature Friday #19

Good Friday morning to you, hope all is well.  We have another dreary rainy day.  I really shouldn’t complain, because we are usually in the 90’s and 100’s by now.  So, I’m gonna enjoy it while I can, I’ve decided!  Anywho, onto business.  Today is another feature Friday for you.  And Fink has given us a recipe challenge.  You are to use a tag, ribbon and 2 buttons!  Easy Peasy right?!

So, this is mine.  I used the Suzi image from this month’s new release.  Isn’t she so cute?!  She had a little sentiment on the bottom of her feet that read “picked just for you….”.  I just love her, very versatile!  So, run over to The Cafe’ Blog and play along.  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Feature Friday by The Character Cafe’

Good evening, hope all is well with you.  It’s time for another Feature Friday from The Character Cafe’.  This week is my turn to do a challenge in blog land.  So, I decided to try a new one out-CAS-tastic.  I’ve never done a CAS card before so this was very new for me. 

 

I used the pondfrogs set from the new release by The Character Cafe’.  As you can see it’s very simple.  The challenge as CAS-tastic is to use circles.  I used a scallop circle punch and layered it twice with blue and then white.  I colored the little frogs and cute them out then popped them up.  I used white grossgrain ribbon from the Dollar store.  And that’s about it!!  Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.   Don’t forget to stop by and say HI to the rest of the DT.
