Here is my contribution for this week's CAS challenge, which is to use a sentiment as the main focal point of our card. I made this for a teenage boy for passing his exams, and was aiming for an 'urban' kind of feel! The letters are from a digital kit by Katie Pertiet, so no stamping on this card.
This one and my next card may be my last uploads for a while. I've been busy working on a website to sell my cards to raise funds for a local charity, and now the site is up and running I'm spending quite a lot of time keeping up with that (pm me if you want a nosey!)
I've also decided to get more active on a crafting community site that's based here in the UK so I can get to know folks are who are a bit nearer me geographically. I LOVE it here on SCS and all the friends I've made, but I'd like to try and support the UK craft movement too.
Enough wittering...thanks for stopping by to look!

Say it isn't so!!! I was so delighted to see that you had new uploads in your gallery and...and...you say that it may be your last for a while! That does make me sad... :(
But... your card is just great. You have a wonderful knack with CAS cards. And with masculine cards. Sure to be a hit!
I'll certainly miss your uploads...

Oh, Sally, what a wonderful CAS card for a boy passing his exams. I am sure he will appreciate this. Your CAS cards are among the most beautiful I have ever seen, so keep up the good work on your charity and your British stampers girl. You will take them by storm I'm sure as you have taken SCS by storm. We are all "gobsmacked" over your creations!! Did I use that right???? Oh, so much to learn, so little time!! TFS Sally and hugs 4-ever to you and BRIAN!!!
