The Outlaws Clean & Simple Challenge: Anything goes!

"Ringing" in the New Year

I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys.  ~Charles Dickens

Today is also my turn to post the weekly challenge for The Outlawz Clean and Simple Challenge!

Here is the card I made for the challenge

CAS Angel Challenge

Good morning one and all.

God is Good!

Another beautiful day granted to try and be a better person and make someone smile. 

Today is also the start of a new CAS challenge over the Outlawz Challenges .... The theme this week is "Angels" ... Although I would normally be off this week I just had to make a card for this challenge since I have collected Angels, in one form or another, all my life - so I have quite the collection. 

I did make this into a card, but the more I look at I think I am going to find a nice frame for it and make it part of my decor! LOL

SO ... The challenge details: Create a CAS card or project (And does NOT have to be Christmas) that uses an ANGEL image or has the word ANGEL as part of the sentiment.

Here is my card!

Each layer of the wings is attached with foam for a 3 dimensional look

SUPPLIES: Stampin Up! (white card stock), Unknown (Glitter paper (wings) & Gold card stock), Stampabilities (Sentiment "Angels"), Tim Holtz Alterations by Sizziz (Die "Layered wings"), Stash (Button)

Please come on Come on by and check us out!

Maybe something will trigger your creative streak and you will play along with us.
