CAS(E) this Sketch #152

Welcome to CTS #152, where you'll find a lovely sketch from N@Ali.  The DT has created some beautiful projects that will surely inspire!  And...please welcome our Guest Designer, Joyce (just take a gander at her lovely mini-masterpiece!). 
I'm loving this delicate Memory Box butterfly, the perfect little sentiment from Concord and 9th, and an always classic red/grey/black color combo (card stock and pp finds from Tuesday Morning!)
Although it is a crazy/busy month with lots of holiday hoopla, we hope that you'll find a way to carve out some creative time and join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #152!

Muse Challenge #144

Hooray for KATE, Guest Designer for Muse Challenge #144 (and Ardyth's very talented daughter)! So perfectly CAS with lots of white and bright... just how I like it. 
My version uses a lovely Studio Calico/1Canoe2 stamp set, which has lots of cute little gift boxes and bows. As you can see, there were a few paper/ink experiments goin' on here (and more that did not make it to the card phase) - all variations on the same theme!
Many thanks to Kate for the inspiration!

CAS(E) this Sketch #151

Welcome to CAS(E) this Sketch #151.... a polka dotted beauty that is sure to inspire!
I am a lover of anything with dots - fabric, wrapping paper, card stock, ribbon, etc. but try as I might I ended up with more flowers (some very lovely ones from Studio Calico/1Canoe2!). Oh, clearly I've stepped away from the holiday cards/colors.... at least for a little bit!
We hope that you'll join in at CTS #151 and show us your dotty creation(s)!
P.S. - A warm welcome to our Guest Designer, Linda!

PTI November 2015 Blog Hop Challenge

Such a beautiful photo inspiration for the Papertrey Ink November 2015 Blog Hop Challenge! And, oh, how I wish a stylish fairy would wave her wand over my mantel (and holiday tree) to duplicate this lovely look! I've used some pretty PTI Hawaiian Shores pp, the perfect sentiment from Keep It Simple:Christmas, lovely PPP sequins/frame die, and a little shaker made with Frantic Stamper's ornament die!
SO anxious to hop along and see all of the fabulous creations!

CAS(E) this Sketch #150

Happy Thursday and welcome to CTS #150! SO excited for you to see the creations from the amazing DT (and our special guest designer, Roberta!) - they never cease to amaze and inspire me, and I hope that you feel the same way!
I'm not sure why, but I've been quite obsessed with this grey/red combination (which looks much richer and lovelier IRL) and the beautiful  'Christmas' sentiment and snowflake die from Frantic Stamper.
This sketch will be a TWO week event, so lots of time to play! 
Wishing you a merry Beaujolais Nouveau Day (it's a real event here in our house) and a Happy Thanksgiving!

CAS(E) this Sketch #149

Welcome to CTS #149 - and another fabulous sketch from Chrissy!
This card may only vaguely resemble the sketch. I was down in my waaay too messy craft cave just playin' around/trying to find a bit of mojo and ended up with something quite outside of my usual wheelhouse (nope... no flowers). My dots fade from black to gold embossing (a happy accident) and I've added some pretty gilded feathers too. 
Please join us at CAS(E) this Sketch #149! We can't wait to see your inspired creation!

CAS(E) this Sketch #148

Here's another pretty from Leigh - just
for CAS(E) this Sketch #148! SO many
options here and LOTS of beautiful creations
from the DT.  Speaking of which .... a huge
welcome to new DT member, Jen Mitchell.
She is such a fabulous addition!
My card was created entirely from bits on my
messy desk (except for the little "hi").
Love when this happens! Less to clean up.
We hope that you'll be inspired and will join
in at CTS #148 bycreating something fabulous!
