CASology Guest Designer


Today I'm guest designing over at CASology! My white card was chosen as the weekly winner--thank you, Melissa!--and along with the honor was an invitation to guest design.
The cue word this week is ZOO, and I came up with a couple of design ideas.


My first card uses a giraffe which I substituted for the letter "h" and added some chipboard letters to finish the "hello". I scribbled the word "baby", rounded off the corners and the card was done.


The second card uses the cute mom and baby elephant from Paper Smooches along with the matching sentiment. After I colored the ellies, I thought it looked a little dull so I added the puffy pink heart sticker for a pop of color.

I hope you'll join the fun at CASology this week and share your take on the cue word, ZOO. And thank you, Melissa, for the guest design spot!
