Saying Good-bye (CFC #50)

It seems so strange to think that I've made 50 cards for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.  That's so many, but it feels like so few.  It also seems like a nice round number to bow out to.  Yes, this is my last week with the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.  I'm so sad to say good-bye because it is such a perfect fit for my style.  But, as you all know, life can get really busy.  Sometimes our plates get too full and it's time to change things up.

We are also saying good-bye to Karen Baker and Laura Davis as well.  A whole year with this amazing team.  It has been so much fun to work alongside some of the best clean and simple designers in the craft world.  Much thanks to Michele for allowing me to be part of such a memorable and fun experience!

This week we are creating projects using flowers.  Our sponsor is one of my favorites, SRM stickers.  Because change is good (at least in my opinion), I figured I'd do something completely outside my normal range of crafting - I've used yellow!  Yellow is my arch nemesis.  We don't get along, but just this once, I let yellow have a victory.  Have a look:



Because this is my last week, I thought it would be fun to look through all 50 projects and choose my favorite.  And the winner is:


I loved that week of color blocking and I think this card sums me up really well - very bold and graphic!  Enjoy this week's challenge and be sure to stop by the CAS-ual Fridays blog to be inspired by the other Girl Fridays.
