Money Holder

Know all those FRNs I've been saving by not spending...I gave them to my son for his birthday.  LOL.  I created a money holder like the ones from the bank to hold the FRN. 

I used colors from the color challenge, CC332 - I think it was Pool Party with Wasabi Chips?...that means...Pool Party, Chocolate Chip and Wild Wasabi...all colors I LOVE.    Fishing Riley...purchased when the boy was in Scouts...never thought I would use it because he and his Daddy were going fishing at least once a week this month!  WOW!  Heck...I didn't think my husband was gonna go fishing.  I'm still in shock.  But it's a good shock.  LOL

The longer Riley sits there, the better he looks. 

 

I colored him with SU! Markers, I sold my Copics.  Michelle Zindorf does a wonderful job showing ways to use the SU! Markers for shading.  My marker storage system helps greatly with determining colors to use for shading.  I made a note to share that in a future blog post. 

One FRN by the name of Benjamin Franklin was inside. 

I think this is the first time I've used that fishing pole stamp.  I purchased it off E-bay in a "lot" of stamps. 

HOW TO:  I found the tutorial here:  Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie.  It's pretty straightforward.  Pool Party panel is 8.5 x 6.5; scored at 3.25 & 6.5.  The Chocolate Chip panel is 6 5/8 x 3 3/8. 

It's a nice sturdy money holder...Mom suggested I do up some to hold the gift cards at Christmas time. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day! 

Birthday Wishes, CAS Style

Yesterday in the SCS Challenge Forum, the CAS gals had a whole day of challenges!  Whoo hoo!  CAS is Clean And Simple.  It also means Quick And Easy.  LOL.

Check this out:

The design was inspired by the Alsaka State Flag.

The challenge was to be inspired by flags...flags of any country or any state in the USA.  The Alaska flag has has the big dipper and the North Star in yellow on a navy background.  It's so striking and uncomplicated.  Back to my card, the front has a whimsical feel...the inside:

Inside the card.

...there's a newspaper / information feel.   What do you think of the combination? 

I hope to share some more CAS cards in the next few days.  I've had lots of fun experimenting.  You can always pop into my SCS gallery.  But just for you, I'll have extras & specials...more pictures & descriptions! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a moo'valous day!
