CASE Study 150 - Take two. Or is that three?

Another one for this week's gorgeous CASE Study.

This time I kept the scale the same as the inspiration, but made it a little lighter and airier by using outline shapes from The Stamps of Life. I also managed to get the many-pointed star in the centre, which I filled with a sentiment also from The Stamps of Life.

I think in the end, I voted with most of you on my favourite from yesterday - the sketchy circles just added something to that very simple design.

And now it's time for me to get on with some of the organization/tidy up projects that have sat on my list for months, waiting for the summer (which is zooming by, don't you think?)

See you here tomorrow for CASology!

CASE Study 150 - Thank you

CASE Study is another challenge I haven't played along with for a long time. But this week's card by the talented Jocelyn Olson  is just begging to be cased, don't you think?

So I made two. And now I can't decide which one I like better!

RIC#40 - Thank you!

Wow, it's been a LONG time since I've played with Runway Inspired Challenge, but this light and airy outfit by Stella McCartney really spoke to me (as did the wonderful interpretations by the DT members!)

Very simple one layer card using Technique Tuesday's Incredible set and some tiny gold bling.

ETA (July 30) - Woohoo! This card won! Wow!

I'm Queen of Couture! So cool! Thanks to the team at Runway Inspired Challenge for this!

FFC13 - Peace and Joy

This is my second post today. Please scroll down to see my Muse card.

There's a new challenge at Festive Friday! It's a colour challenge:

Light pink is not a colour I work with a lot, but I can see that it's so pretty when you combine it with silver and white.

I used my brand-spankin' new Memory Box tree die and cut it in brushed silver cardstock. Then I cut parts of it (using my scissors to fully cut out each tree) in Silver Glimmer and pink glitter cardstock, layerin them on. I finished with this little stamp (is it Hero Arts?)

I hope you'll play along with us! The DT has provided lots of inspiration (and we've got Laura Bassen as Guest Designer on this one!)

Muse #26, CASology 53 - Like, totally cool!

I knew when I saw Marion's card for this week's Muse challenge, that I would end up using those eyes. I know there's lots of other detail on this card, but the eyes are what captured my attention.

I wanted to use the eyes, but not AS eyes, if you know what I mean. Fortunately, the perfect solution is running as a challenge at CASology this week. The cue card is COOL and what better way to use the eyes not as eyes than to use them as o's. Follow? lol!

I used Memory Box's Large Parker Lower Case dies, Papertrey Super Stripes stamp set and Technique Tuesday Incredible Stamp set.

You have until Sunday at 4:00 pm CST to play with CASology, and you have until Monday morning at 8:00 EDT to play with Muse - I hope you'll join us!

OLW149 - Closet Inspiration!

I went hunting through my closet for inspiration for this week's One Layer Wednesday challenge to be inspired by something in your closet (hosted by Heather). I found this blouse:

I used Avery Elle's Diamonds set to create the pattern and a Stampin' Up sentiment. I added the little pearls to represent the buttons, but in retrospect, I think I may have liked it better without them.

Hope you'll get a chance to play along!

ABNH - Colouring with Stickles

Many of you who know me, know that I LOVE Stickles glitter glue. They come in all sorts of colours, they're easy to work with and they don't leave the mess that loose glitter does.

Today at A Blog Named Hero, my post is all about colouring with Stickles. I hope you'll drop by!

And don't forget to play along with our current challenge:

There's a $25 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp for one lucky participant!
