CAS-ual Fridays Challenge #1...Thinking of You

Hello, friends!  I am SO excited that the first ever CAS-ual Fridays Challenge has arrived!  If you haven't checked it out yet, please go here.


The rules this weekUse stamps, texty pattern paper, a page torn from your phone book..get creative!  Just incorporate text prominently into your newly created CAS project, then link it up for your chance to WIN
the first ever CAS-ual Fridays card challenge!

OK, so in my excitement my mind started spinning and I felt like a little child at an egg hunt when they yell, "GO!"  What stamps do I have with text?  What papers?  What am I going to MAKE?!  AAGGHH!!! 

Then I stopped a minute, took a deep breath, and thought.  For several days.  Ah HA!  Thank God for Hero Arts...I have an awesome typewriter cling... I have the friendship definition text background... I have tons of sentiments.  I can do this! 

Here is what I came up with after I had a chance to regroup.  I stamped the Friend Definition cling in poppy chalk ink onto a card from the Sunshine folded cards set.  I made a rough frame using grey ink and several different "Thinking of You" sentiments.  On a separate sheet of white paper I embossed the typewriter in black, cut out, added the sentiment and heart gem, and attached it with pop dots for some dimension.  (I think I have the "text" part of this challenge covered here, don't you?)

Hero Arts Stamps Used:  (CG280) My Type, (CG125) Friend Definition, (CL490) Sending Smiles Messages, (CL272) All Occasion Messages, (CL350) Big All Time Greetings, (CL140) Thinking of You, (C2654) Thinking of You

I hope you are having a good week...sunny and 70 degrees here, enjoying every minute of it!

Take good care,
Judy
