Kristina # 42!!


This is a new blog feature I am starting called"CASEing my Faves!!"
I used to feel kind of guilty when I CASED someone else's work as if I was somehow doing something wrong and wasn't clever enough to be able to think up my own ideas. But now I more think that you are giving someone a HUGE compliment if you like what they have done SO much that it inspires you to have a go too. I would be happy if I knew I had been able to inspire someone in this way. Besides I spend such a lot of time on the computer and have PAGES and PAGES of Faves that it seems such a shame if I never actually DO anything with them!! Mostly you end up changing features of the card anyway and "make it your own" .
So here is my first "CASED FAVE" using the beautiful colours that Kristina set for the challenge this week and the wonderful inspiration of "skdeleeuw". You can find her great card here......
I'm really happy with how this turned out and once again have been inspired by the challenge to use colours and colour combinations that I would never normally choose- Thanks Kristina!!

I think this is a great layout too and would work well with a wide variety of DSP and stamps. Maybe you would like to have a go as well? Please leave a comment and a link here if you do so we can all see your ideas!!
I used -

Stamp Set- True Friend (retired) / So many sayings Cardstock-More Mustard/Really RustDSP-Fall Flowers/Apple Cider (retired) Ribbon- Old Olive Brad- Old Olive Hemp Twine Small Oval /Word Window / Scallop Edge/ Punches (How did we ever manage before we got the scallop edge punch LOL!!)

Featured Stamper

Julie is the "Featured Stamper" at SCS this week. a.k.a "Her Royal Rubberness" (don't ask me why!!) Anyway we had to choose a card from her gallery to CASE. Now Julie has a bright,vibrant style which I intended to emulate, but I don't have any "cutesy" stamps and as the night wore on (Yes it did take me that long- I'm out of practice!) my card became more and more different to hers! This is her card here.....

Very different I know but anyway I am quite happy with my card- its cute I think in a different sort of way.I have never actually used this little bird from the Always set(retired) The DSP is also retired now(Apple Cider)- Hopefully "Her Majesty" will approve!

Makeesha's Challenge




Makeesha's latest challenge is a sketch. Here is her sketch and my submission. I have used the Apple Cider paper again (as I did for my cybernight card-scroll down a bit) Again I haven't needed to stamp a main image as the paper has motifs that can be cut out and used for this. (Don't forget that this paper and other gorgeous stuff from the Spring Mini is only available until Nov 30th- email me if you would like to order some before it finishes!)The other colours I have used are Choc Chip and Really Rust (Love this combo!) The tag is stamped with half of a sentiment from So Many Sayings on a scrap of very vanilla. The tag is finished off with a jumbo eyelet and a hemp twine knot. It's not "manly" enough for the "Aussie" blokes in my life so I think I will keep it for my BIL - he is from German heritage and would be able to cope with it I think!!!
