Anything Goes

Happy Monday

Today over at the Outlawz Greetings Card Challenge, I am hosting the last challenge of 2013, and this will also be my last post this year, so on that note I would like to wish you all a wonderful, happy and prosperous new year. 
May all your crafty wishes come true!

My card uses the image Laundry Days by Oak Pond Creations


I have kept this one simple again (who knows I may still yet get the knack of CAS).
The Embossing folder is by Sue Wilson and is called Basket Weave. 
I cut the image and sentiment with my Perfect Layers tool and used a corner rounder. The sentiment is a wood mounted stamp from my stash and the cat dies are all by Poppy Stamps.

I look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge, and don't forget to pop over and see the wonderful creations by the DT.
