Get Your CAS Birthday On!!

Hello my friends!!
Long time - no posting for me!!  I'm so sorry for being absent around here, but I have been working really hard behind the scenes and if you look at my "up-dated" STUFF for SELL page, you'll see why! LOL!
Please be sure to stop and check it out as I've listed TONS of Stampin' Up! stamps for sell as well as updated a few other categories.  It took me pretty much all week to do my "Spring cleaning" of my stamp studio, take photos and list it all for sell!  So this is what I've been busy with all week.
Since I got on my "Spring cleaning" kick, it was time to clean that up as well.  So if you are looking for a few stamps to add to your collection, I've got TONS of them up for sell!!  Be sure to check it out!

Today, there is another brand new challenge up for
This time we would like to see those CAS birthday creations!
This week the challenge is being sponsored by SK digis!  So be sure to add your "birthday" design to the entries for your chance to win!  *Don't forget to make it CAS!*

Here's what I've come up with for my "CAS Happy Birthday" theme:
I saw this concept somewhere on Pinterest before and thought it was such a clever and simple design.  The only thing different I did was to add some texture to the color panels underneath by embossing it.
The only stamp I used was the sentiment at the bottom.  I thought that this would make for a wonderful birthday card for either male or female...that's what I love about it! :)

Here are a couple of challenges I'd like to enter this for:
(*please note that CAS on Sunday changed their rules - you can now enter more challenges!*)
Simon Says - anything goes
Paper Craft Star - Happy Birthday
Craft Us Crazy - anything goes
CRAFT - use embossing

So I hope you'll join us with your CAS birthday creation!  Be sure to hop on over to the challenge blog and take a look at all of the gorgeous inspiration that the rest of the design team has come up with!
They're all fabulously talented!! :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today my friends!!  
(So sorry my post is a bit late today!)

Vicki, My friend I will miss you... I know you will be back so take your time. I'm sure it is something very important but I still have to comment on your wonderful cards that I have not seen yet.
This card is so clever and simple, love the color choice and (I think) brads in the middle are wonderful.
Hugs, Patricia
