CAS(E) this Sketch #72!

Hi all! Happy Spring and welcome to CTS #72 - a beautiful sketch by Julie Day! 
Oh my, so many possibilities with this one! I picked a few tiny elements from PTI's Irresistibly Ikat and a some pretty, spring-y colors… and just kept on goin'! Yes, there's more on the messy crafting table that I hope to share soon.
Please welcome this week's guest designer, LISA! We can't wait to see what you've created for CAS(E) this Sketch #72!

Or, perhaps, version #2 with a few splashed of sequin sparkle?? And, yes, just a bit obsessed….. step away from the LID stitched mats!

CAS(E) this Sketch #71

Greetings! Welcome to CTS #71- a sketch by the incomparable Gayatri!
I've been inspired lately by the wonders created by Jennifer McGuire, and the many creative entries seen here at Virginia's View Challenge #1 (359 watercolor lovelies…..a-mazing!). I'm surely operating outside of my comfort zone…and dabbling in the slightly messy, uncontrolled watercolor zone. 
Please join us at CAS(E) this sketch #71 (and maybe try a new technique or two)! 

This is definitely not my best work, but there is not one splat, splatter or painter-ish stamp in my arsenal! So… I had to try my hand at watercoloring, which got me excited to try MORE! Oh my - you should see the mess on the desk. Hopefully, I'll salvage some of the bits that have dried into mini masterpieces. Ha!

CAS(E) this Sketch #70

Many thanks for joining us for another great sketch - this one from the lovely Sam Simpson. Wow…. CTS #70! 

I was feeling that my little IO bunny dies should get a bit of attention (had to have them after seeing what Julie Ebersole did with them here!), as Easter is just around the corner!
I am hoping that spring has sprung is your part of the world. However, we are still waiting for our bit of warmth…. only 14 degrees this morning! 

CAS(E) this Sketch #69

Oh, how I love the sketch that N@Ali has created for CAS(E) this Sketch #69! I had many ideas, and so many stamps (too many perhaps?), that would have worked for this layout….  However, after much back and forth, I returned to the simplest, and earliest, design. Isn't that always the way?? So, to make up for the simplicity, there are three little notecards- all 2 3/4 x 4 inches. Tiny, tiny! Now I'm off to make some tiny matching envelopes!

Please join in the fun at CTS #69 and please welcome our brilliant guest designer, Alice Wertz! 

Fusion Card Challenge #6

I am playing along, for the very first time, at Fusion Card Challenge and was inspired by the beautiful greens in the photo and the lovely CAS layout. So… I guess that my card is a "fusion"!

Many thanks for taking a peek!

Have a happy day!

CAS(E) this Sketch #68

Please enjoy this lovely sketch by Joni Andaya! I had the urge to use some very pretty 6x6 papers from Teresa Collins (love the red/pink/aqua/teal combinations!) and some of my new PTI goodies (from the Garden Grace stamp set).
So here we are, one more winter storm under our belts! Really? Another 15-20 inches? Guess that's my cue to hunker down in the craft area! We hope that you'll be crafting away too and will join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #68!
And… a warm welcome this week's guest designer, Vicky!

Or, perhaps this one??

CAS(E) this Sketch #67

Wow! CAS(E) this Sketch welcomes a new DT member (Maureen Merritt), there's a great sketch (by Chrissy Larson), AND we have a guest designer (Anya)…. what more could a crafter ask for?? Inspiration all around!
We hope that you enjoy all that the Design Team has created for CTS #67 and will join in the fun!
