CAS(E) this Sketch #201

WOW - just take a peek at the CAS beauty that N@Ali has created for this week's CAS(E) this Sketch #201! Lots of loveliness from the talented DT too. Birthday, holiday, get well......we've got it all covered!
I could not have gotten any cleaner or simpler here - an adorable little gift/bow die from Frantic Stamper and the perfect b'day sentiment, all on a creamy background. So easy, breezy. Just had to decide which of those patterned papers to use (really?)!
We hope that you'll join in the fun at CTS #201. AND a warm welcome to our fabulous GD, Meg!

CAS(E) this Sketch #200!!

Whoo Hooo! It is the 200th challenge for CAS(E) this Sketch... a banner day!! To celebrate, CTS will be giving participants the opportunity to win a fun prize. SO.... head over to the blog, and be sure to play along! Can't wait to see what you've created!
I woulda/shoulda/coulda been playing and creating holiday cards. BUT, some happy mail arrived from Lil'inkers, and those beautiful little florals got the best of me (hours flew by, I tell 'ya!).
P.S. - a warm welcome to our fab-u-lous GD, Tenia!!

Fusion Card Challenge-'It's Christmas'

Happy Thursday and welcome to the newest Fusion Card Challenge-It's Christmas'! Such a great inspiration photo and an equally amazing sketch! There are many lovely DT projects, so be sure to take a peek and, hopefully, be inspired to create away!
When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo as your jumping off point. OR, if you are feeling super duper clever, you can fuse 'em together.

I've blended the beautiful, cozy photo and the sketch in this cream on cream card....natural colors, a bit of texture and a soft brown sentiment. The LI woodgrain background (and wreath/greenery!) creates the perfect backdrop for the tiny doe, pinecones and silver-tipped branches (all from Frantic Stamper).

We hope that you'll join in at the Fusion Card Challenge and will enjoy all of the loveliness from the DT and the always amazing gallery!
