CASology #103: GLOW

Hello, friends!  It's Tuesday, and you know what that means...a new cue card at CASology!


This week we are sponsored by STAMPlorations so be sure to check out the CASology blog for all the details.

So many ideas came to mind when I saw this cue...glowing neon signs...glowing lightening bugs in a jar...glow sticks (we always have them for the kids at our July 4th family barbecue)...the glow of fireworks in the night sky. 

Then I went a little "outside the box" and went for a different kind of glow.  Tell me...do you get the reference?

Supplies Used:
"Maternity" stamp by Katie & Co.
"Scrolls" embossing folder by Darice
"Clear Star" Gelly Roll pen by Sakura
Copic markers

I'm so excited because two of my sisters-in-law are expecting their third children (and almost have the same due date).  I will be an aunt for the 16th and 17th time early next year!   I love all my nieces and nephews so much, and I love to see our families growing!  It makes my heart happy.  And my sisters-in-law are both glowing!

Needless to say, this card will be heading straight to one of my sisters-in-law (no worries, I already have a card for the other).  I left the front blank and added a congratulations sentiment on the inside of the card.  I left the white embossed frame untouched but added a tiny line of glitter pen around the inner frame for interest.  One main image, lots of white space, a clean and simple card.


Be sure to link up your GLOW card by noon on Monday (Central time). You will also be inspired by the many ways our Design Team and Guest Designer interpreted the cue this week...be sure to check out their blogs, too!

A little inspiration before you go -- here is a picture of one of my nieces at our July 4th barbecue with her glow sticks as she hid under the dining room table in the dark...check out her glow!

Thanks for visiting...have a great day!

  14. I will admit, the expectant kind of glow did cross my mind... but glad I didn't act on it, because yours is just perfect! Love the embossing around the glowing mom-to-be. ;)

  16. Hey Judy!! I love your take on the cue word. Women have a beautiful glow when they are with child. I love it. Your cards shows the beauty of pregnancy. Well done.

    How did you shot your niece in the dark with the glow sticks? I see a small hit of the light on the left side of the picture. Just wondering?
