CASually Text Me!!

Happy Friday Everyone...

...it was great fun to look at all your creative ways to use two 
circles on your cards last week, I noted some great ideas and designs :0)

So what do we have in store for you this week at CASual Fridays???

This weeks challenge is to use text on your cards or projects and our  
sponsor is the fabby Simon Says Stamp who have kindly offered a $25 voucher
to this weeks winner and don't forget this weeks winner will guest with us in August too :0)


I've gone with the theme of newsprint as my text 
for a modern 'Congrats' style of card...


The base card is black but I've lightened the photo so you can see 
the newsprint bkgd stamped in Versamark...I love the tone on tone effect it gives.
I used a combination of dies and computer to make the sentiment and the 
newsprint bkgd is my trusty large  Hero Arts stamp.


We have Erum joining us this week as a guest designer after winning 
our June bling challenge so please hop over to the blog to check out her 
card along with the Girl Fridays inspiration too and then go and get texty with us :0)

Thanks for looking

Jenny x

    Thanks for the info on Ozzie and Harriet - totally agree that it should be Sharon instead that really made us both laugh!
