CAS-ual Fridays # 66

TGIF!  Can't believe Friday is already here!  And time for another CAS-ual Fridays!  This week's theme...

Things you might find in the water-ocean, lake, or pool.  Here is my little turtle card...

I made my own Polaroid frame using 2 nesties!  Super easy! (Now that I have a cameo it will be even easier! hehe!)  Then I stamped this cute little Alley Way stamp onto blue cardstock and colored in the image with Prismas and OMS.  I stamped the matching sentiment and added a little ribbon tag.

Hope you can play along this week! Go check out the CAS-ual Fridays blog for more about the prize and sponsor!  Thanks so much for coming by! 

Ummm....I'm in love...

** Scroll down to see Day 1 of the Verve Anniversary peeks!**

I've officially crossed over from Cricut Land to Cameo World and boy it is nice over here!  I sold my Cricut this weekend and took the plunge.  It got here yesterday and with the moral support of several SWEET friends (and Amazon Prime 2 day shipping), it got unpacked, plugged in, downloaded and going all with in about 20 minutes.  And then I made this...

This is a Silhouette file from their store.  It was only 99 cents and with the help of my sweet friend Jackie, I turned it into a card!  OMG.  This thing is easy, amazing and fantastic all rolled into one.  I cut the file all on cream cardstock and the colored the different parts with markers.  (Something I learned in the fabulous "The Cut Above" online class! Yes....I haven't owned it for 24 hours and I am already done watching most of the videos!)

I'm going to enter this card into the Cameo Spotlight Challenge.  It's their first one and I'm really excited to link it up!  I hope you get a chance to play too!  If you have a cameo, go make something and link it up!

I have to send shout outs to Steph Washburn for being my constant texting friend during this purchase (and all of last week!) Ha!  And to Steph Mino who gave me a list of HUGE tips!  This camper is for you girl!  :) (Why does that sound like an Academy speech?)  I guess I'm just overly excited. New crafty tools are so much fun!  :)

Oh and one more thing for all you Silhouette owners...check this out....
