CAS(E) this Sketch #207

Michele has created a most beautiful sketch for CTS #207 that's sure to inspire one and all. And, I'm confident that the amazing DT will also provide lots of loveliness for us to o-o-h and a-h-h over!
I've kept it super duper simple. Lots of white space, a bit of texture in the wonky frame, some beautiful Sea Shore colors with a pop of Raspberry Fizz, the sunburst-y images from Fall Florals, a simple sentiment and some teeny-tiny hearts (that, amazingly, did not fall on the floor, where they'd be forever lost!).
We hope that you'll join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #207. Can't wait to see your masterpiece!
P.S. - Please welcome our fabulous GD, Rosemary!

The Fusion Challenge-Interlocking Hearts

Welcome to the newest Fusion Card Challenge - 'Interlocking Hearts'! Such a great inspiration photo and an equally amazing sketch! There are many lovely DT projects too, 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.

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 #206

Happy Thursday and welcome to CTS #206! Leigh has designed another lovely one..... and the DT's creations provide lots of variety that will surely impress/inspire.
Lil'inker Designs' 'The Little Things' was just the ticket for this card - the perfect winged birdie, a bit of foliage and a crisp sentiment. I love when one set provide all of the elements! Way less mess on my desk. However, one birdie usually begets another, and another. So there will be a few more designs to add to the stash!
We hope that you'll be inspired to play along with us at CAS(E) this Sketch #206. Can't wait to see what you've created!
P.S.- A warm welcome to our GD, EunJi!

PTI January 2017 Blog Hop

The beautiful photo for Papertrey Ink's January 2017 Blog Hop had me at florals and stripes (oh....and cookies)! And, as always, there's an abundance of amazing-ness in the gallery! I have a feeling there will be lots of pinning and CASE-ing goin' on here. 
Anyway.... how could I not play along? A bit of perfectly crisp b/w pp, every pink ink pad in my possession, a mix of florals (Painted Petals, Bigger Blooms) and a word die from PTI's 'Wonderful Words' were all that were required. Fortunately, there was still a bit of daylight left and just enough time for me to hop along. Many thanks for taking a peek!

CAS(E) this Sketch #205... take two!

Three posts in one day may be just a bit excessive. But I had one more up my sleeve for CTS #205! This little A4 (3.5x5) card is right up my alley (florals, of course). However, I may have taken a few liberties with the sketch....

Some pretty pinks, Spellbinder 'Blossom' dies, little leaves from Frantic Stamper and a tiny sentiment from W&W..... CAS is always the way to go!

We hope that you'll accept the challenge and play along at CAS(E) this Sketch #205!

CAS(E) this Sketch #205

Welcome to CTS #205 and a great sketch from Chrissy! My teammates have all knocked this sketch out of the park, so be sure to take a peek, be inspired and then join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #205!
Me? Oh, this one was a challenge. This card ended up looking kinda like a Christmas/Mickey Mouse combo (and not in a good way!). But.... I've got one more in the works, so stay tuned.
Please join us in creating for CTS #205 and be sure to give a bit of love to our GD, Rebekah!
