This is what the Ladies had to say
We have a theme which this week is
CIRCLES
Please note that this is in the plural... we need to see more than one circle, so not just a circular card base or the odd circle thrown in just to qualify... we need you to think circles and see what you can come up with. Whilst you're thinking of your design however, we don't want you to forget the white space element and the CAS feel for your card.
I used Anna Griffin DP from my stash, nesties to cut the circles and TH embossing folder circles. Some card candy from Craftwork cards and a small amount of Bazzil card stock. I also used Isa Norris' stamps from KatzelKraft, English notes.
Had fun with this one, I may have a go later with stamps, have an idea I'm mulling over:0)
Pop over and check out the LIM challenge it's loads of fun:0) Thank you again Chrissie and Mandi, another interesting challenge.

Brilliant collection of cards
A couple of nutters I would say ! It 2.15 am having an early night due to various over indulgences if you know what I mean.

Okay, Mac, there you go again with elegance, and it will get you everywhere!!! Very very pretty!
Excellent cards!!! You never cease to amaze! Great job again Gay! Love to see your take on things, very inspiring!
really cool cards, gay! the 2nd one with all the circles is fabulous... i love the way you have positioned some of the circles so they are off the card!

Two wonderful cards Gay!! Clean and simple.. I like it!
Have a nice day.

Both of these look great Gay, I particularly like the embossing on the first one.
One thing which has me puzzled when I see cards with bits which extend beyond the edge of a card base, is how you fit them into an envelope. Do you make an oversized one specially?
Thanks so much

These are both stunning. I adore Anna Griffin's stuff she has such an eye for vintage design.
Gay - these are super - I really like the first one with the deeply embossed border of circles. And I love the mix of papers and circle sizes on the second one. Both have lovely texture. Here's mine!
Two very pretty cards, love Anna Griffin papers - but aren't they just for stroking lol. Carol x

Hi sweetie, i love them both the circles on looks ace, and the white one is stunning, hugs pops x
There you go again my friend making those cute CAS cards.. You are definitely the queen of these..
Hugs, Linda
Two excellent cards...Anna Griffin would be proud of you...I just love them both...have a weakness for her papers as well but used much like you have rather than the busyness of the cards she makes. Of course the kind she makes uses more card lol!!!
These are fantastic cards, I love the embossing and the rose one especially, but it's a gorgeous set of cards
Fantastic cards! Love your thinking outside the box (or off the card!).

Great cards as always - love the black one with the large circles on..weather's been pants today too, still an excuse not to leave the craft room!! Esther xx
Love all your circles, Gay, they are very elegant cards. The circle embossing is gorgeous.
Hugs Lisax
Amazing cards Gay, especially the second one. I would never have dreamt of using shabby chic/ vintage papers this way but they work beautifully.
Lynne xxx
Great take on the challenge. I love the second one the most but the theme you have is wonderful.
Linbyx
Both are beautiful!
Terrific cards Gay, your LIM cards are always fab.
Fabulous take on the challenge!
I love the embossing folder on the first one!! cute!! need to give this one a try too!!!
You have some fantastic ideas. lOve the square frame to set off the Rose circle, and the embossing showing through just sets it off so well.
Fabulous! Love the second one especially! xx
Fabulous cards Gay,
