A couple of quick and easy cards

There are one or Challenges around just now that really appealed.  The first is Fashionable Stamping, whose challenge this time is Past Times.

When I first saw this Stamps Happen Stamp it screamed Bob Fosse to me.   To a young girl (I was then) Coffee houses filled with smart, glamours, young people, who smoked and talked and drank (cheap) coffee long into the night, seemed very grown up mysterious and wonderful.   I imagined that they all moved with the clipped exaggerated moves of a Bob Fosse dance and looked like the girl in this stamp.

Casual Fridays have a challenge for a CAS tag thought I'd enter the matching tag with this cool stamp.
Cupcake Inspirations have a picture of a cake this week decorated with the '60's style squares I used on my card, in fact in my hunt for 60's style it was this picture that gave me the idea I needed.




 Then there is the Tanda Teaser, using traditional Christmas colours of Red and Green.

Could not resist giving this a little twist with Tanda's Penguin set.   Using the offcut from the DL card above this was very quick and simple to make.

This stamp set is one of many you can find at Craft-Room online shop.

Creative Craft Challenge have gone Minimalistic this time, hope this is minimal enough for them.
