It's Krafts-men, Dude!

Squeaking in at the last minute here with an entry for CAS-ual Fridays Krafts-men challenge.  I'm getting a little better at planning my cards out in advance.  Before I would often sit at my desk, pick a challenge and then draw a blank.  Now I'm finding I have ideas simmering in the back of my mind and I'm managing to hang on to them instead of forgetting them altogether.  (Making notes now and then helps too - when I can find the notes that is!)  So here it is, pretty much as I envisioned it, and I'm quite pleased with it!


CS: PTI; Stamps: PTI; Inks: SU Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake; Punches: EK Success, Marvy Uchida
We continue to be desperate for rain.  We put in an order for 4 more loads of water which we'll get in 7 days if we're lucky.  Today was really frustrating because it was thundering all morning and I could see all these dark clouds and knew that it was pouring with rain out over the water but not on the island.  It's like we have an anti-rain force field around us or something!     


My issue of Stamp It arrived today (along with a few other back issues I've missed) so I'm off to peruse them.  Have a lovely evening!

    This is awesome Jen...I love those patterned circles in such a CAS style. I think you have the winner here.
    Rain dances don't seem to work in your climate then???

    This is fantastic! So fun and interesting yet plain enough for a guy! And I have the stuff to make it so I feel a CASE coming on!

    I love this! Congrats on making the VIPs!
    Did you use a circle punch to get your circles so perfect? What size(s)?

    This is totally fabulous! I just moved from Hawaii, and I lived on the dry side of the Island, and it would be frustrating to see rain all around us, but we would never get it. Seeing your pics makes me miss the beauty of Island life!
