CASology #72


Welcome to Week 72 of CASology!  Here's the cue word for this week:

'Tis the season to go shopping!  All the Bermudians are making their annual pilgrimages to New York, New Jersey, Boston and Atlanta to do their Christmas shopping.  It always amazes me that the planes can get off the ground at this time of year - Bermudians know how to shop!  LOL!  

 My initial thoughts for this challenge went along the same line as Ardyth but once I saw her clever card I decided to try a different idea.  These days pretty much all shopping involves a bar code and Mama Elephant has a super cute one in their Smitten set.  I decided I wanted to go with a really bold background colour and let the black sentiment really pop off of it.  It took a lot of fiddling before I finally decided on sentiment and gem placement but I'm pretty happy with the final result!  And now I want to see the results of your creative wheels turning!  Check out the gorgeous designs from the rest of the DT and then get crackin'!
    


And this week's guest designer:

Link your creations to the CASology blog and remember submissions are due by 4pm CST on Sunday, 1 December.

And while I've got you I want to show off the new washi tape shelf Luis made for me!  I love it!  The shelves are slightly tilted back so the tape stays in place and I've still got room for more!  :D


Supplies Used:

Cardstock:  (Black) Gina K, (Strawberry Slush) Stampin' Up
Stamps:  (Bar code from Smitten) Mama Elephant, ("are" from Sparkle & Shine) Neat & Tangled
Inks:  (VersaMark, VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko
Die:  (You from Wonderful Words) Papertrey Ink
Gems:  Recollections

    What a brilliant way to interpret the cue card Jen! I would never even think of a bar code! Love how you've used that beautiful rose red as your base

    This card is bold and clever. I love your idea. And, what an amazing Washi tape holder. It looks so pretty with all those rolls of tape. And, he even left a little room for some more shopping.
