CAS(E) this Sketch #297

Hi there...... here's another great design from Brian King for CAS(E) this Sketch #297! SO very versatile, lots of creative options AND many lovely bits of inspiration from the DT.
I had a fun day crafting/noshing/chatting with my talented friends, Karen and Kelly, and found the time to die cut a few of the adorable little MFT deer in a shiny gold foil! A few sparkle-y stars, gold embossed sentiment and snippet of red/white twine finished off this CAS holiday card. Gah.... it's SO hard to photograph/capture the beauty of this gold mirror cardstock - but I'm tryin'!
Be sure to hop on over to CASE this Sketch, take a peek at the DT creations and then get down to crafty business. Can't wait to see what you've created for CTS #297!!
Many thanks for joining me today!

P.S. - A warm welcome to GD, Jacquie!!

Fusion Card Challenge - 'Wine O'Clock'

Thanks for joining me for the newest Fusion Card Challenge - 'Wine O'Clock'! The amazing inspiration photo is a wonderful starting point. But that sketch is pretty great too! So, which will you try??
The beautiful hues of the photo and the great sketch helped to create this trio of wine tags. The jewel toned stripes were influenced by the lovely bottle of red.... with a sprig of berries and a black sentiment from Concord & 9th to complete the ensemble. Now I'm ready for holiday hostess gifting!
The DT has provided some amazing inspiration, so be sure to hop on over and join the party!
When playing along you may use the sketch OR the photo as you jumping off point. OR, if you are feeling super duper clever, you can fuse 'em together!

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!

CAS(E) this Sketch #295

Hi there...... here's another great design from Chrissy Larson for CAS(E) this Sketch #295! So very versatile, lots of creative options AND many lovely bits of inspiration from the DT.
There's are still lots of pretty poinsettias on my always messy craft desk, so I've created a little pink/navy/green floral arrangement.... in combination with some pretty polka dotted diagonals, a crisp white background and a tiny bit of sparkle. I have lots more florals left so think I'll try this again in a different color combo!
