It is written in the stars!

hello friends!  How are you?  I am well today.  Glad the weekend is near as always, I need some R&R...and S too!  The S is for stamping!  I haven't had much time this week...booo! I will tell you what I did have though, was lunch with the famous Amy Tsuruta yesterday.  What a fabulous gal she is!  Thanks Amy!!!!!!!!  Can't wait to do it again and work on hatching our little plans! :)

Today I have a card to share with you using my Mama Elephant sets Cosmic Stars and Starry Nights.  I have had these for a while and made a few things with them but haven't thought them worthy of sharing on the blog.  (*Please note that is is a comment related to my creations, not the stamps!)  I do feel pretty happy about this card though.  It was made with inspiration from the CAS-ual Friday's Challenge #105.  The theme is mapquest, but I put a spin on it, mine is an astrological map! :) 

Technically the CAS in CAS-ual is for clean and simple.  I am not sure this card is CAS but it was hard for me to make that happen and use all the images I wanted.  I wanted an array of the astrological signs, something like this (but with more color and life to it). The paper is from Dear Lizzy and the images were colored with my prismacolors.

Thanks for stopping...it was written in the starts that you would! ;)  Oh and just for fun, if you want to check out your daily horoscope you can here.  Mine's looking pretty good...

CANCER: Your energy is running high, Cancer, and you have a great deal of fire that you can use to transform anything. You have a wonderful capacity to turn a bad situation into a good one. You know exactly how to lift others' spirits when they're down. Today certain issues may be a bit too emotional for you to handle comfortably. There's an aggressive, combative tone to some people. Keep your guard up.

=)

UPDATE- I am entering this into the Let's Get Trendy Now textured layers challenge.

Awesome, funny I have the set, and was actually looking for it in the wee hours, can't find it. Wanted the fish for the CASology current challenge. Well I am great and am off to the ocean for R&R , will miss stamping terribly. Have a great day! I saw the Friday find, that was pretty cool!
