Hello everyone ~ I've been crafting for a life time!  I love card making as I mostly find it relaxing - unless my mojo has disappeared!  I also love textile crafts - sewing, knitting, embroidery and cross stitch.  I've recently taken up printing and love it - I'm not a brilliant artist but like having a go.  In many ways I'm happy to try anything that keeps me busy and always have a number of projects on the go.


Here are Elaine's beautiful creations for our challenge:

#47 - Elaine



Elaine's dragonfly card stole my heart.  The silver embossing and fabulous coloring surrounded by all that wonderful white space really allowed the dragonfly to pop off the page.   Elaine also managed to incorporate so much texture and interest with the white on white elements that took this creation to another level.  Stunning CAS card.  Congratulations, Elaine.

Congratulations, Elaine.  Here is the badge to post on your blog:

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is 


Happy Little Stampers was created in 2015 by Kylie (owner of ATSM and ATCAS). Kylie wanted to bring out a line of stamps that were useful for every day crafters. From cute to whimsical images, from everyday to funky sentiments there is something for everyone!

Our amazing Guest Designer (who really needs no introduction but we better do it anyway... lol) for this challenge is



"Hello! My name is Julia Altermann from Dresden, Germany.

I work in tech support for a small company in Stuttgart, Germany, that creates an awesome app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. In my time off, I love to create, color, take photos, and travel. I started papercrafting in 2013 and share my creations on My Blog and My YouTube Channel
I love all kinds of styles: clean and simple, layers, using different mediums – but clean and simple is probably my favorite and so I am uber-delighted and happy to have been invited as a Guest Designer here at ATCAS. I hope you enjoy this week’s challenge – I can’t wait to see what you make!"

Love, Julia

Welcome Julia!!

Here is our inspiration for you
