"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me..."
Caught in a landslide, No escape from reality
Open your eyes, Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go, Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me..."
Lyrics from Boehemian Rhapsody by Queen
Yay! CAS-ual Fridays is back from a Thanksgiving vacation and we
have another utterly fun tic tac toe challenge for you!
The sponsor this week is Paper Temptress and man oh man does she
have some great card stock available! I was lucky enough to receive a sampling.
I was having a difficult time choosing which route to go on the board
so I asked my son to pick one and he chose Aqua, Kraft and Scallops.
I punched out circles from both patterned paper and olive kraft, cut them in half
and then adhered them to an aqua cardbase. A bit of
burlap string and a button, along with a fun sentiment,
finishes off the card. I thought it had a rather bohemian chic look to it
and then from there I couldn't get the Bohemian Rhapsody song out
of my head. (Yes, you can thank me later when it won't leave yours either!)
So, please stop on over to the CAS-ual Fridays Blog
to check out the challenge details and rules,
find out more about the prize and sponsor, Paper Temptress
and see the awesome inspiration from the Girl Fridays!
