Time Out Challenge #283 - CASE the Designer

It's Time Out's 11th birthday and for this challenge we want you to CASE this card by Donna Mikasa.

For my card I used Ardyth Percy-Robb's LIMES.  It stands for List, Include, Modify, Exclude and Spin.  If you aren't familiar with LIMES please check out her website.  It helps me not be so literal with anything I CASE.

I won't go through everything on the list but you can see the difference but still within the boundaries of Donna's card.  There is a stenciled floral panel from PTI, an embossed background (Blossom Field from SSS), and a celebrate sentiment from MFT.  I kept the color in the pink family, cut the panel with a rectangle and stamped the sentiment. 

It's going to be fun to see all the different ways the design team interprets Donna's card.  After seeing them, we hope you are inspired to make a card.  The winner of the challenge will receive a $25 store credit to Gina K Designs.

Just Us Girls #552 - Word Week

 The word for Just Us Girls Word Week as chosen by Sue is

The time when the leaves begin to change color is fast approaching and I love that time of year but for this challenge I went an entirely different way.  Using one of my favorite and oldest stamps I made this.

I started with a panel cut with The Greetery's Crimped Edges and stamped and heat embossed the Harvest Berries from PTI.  I added some gray dots and a HA sentiment also in gray. 

The Design Team and our guest for September, Lindsey M-P, would like to share their inspiration with you.  Head on over to the JUGS blog to check it out and then join us in the gallery.  You may be chosen Chic of the Week and have a chance to be our next guest designer.

CAS(E) This Sketch #302

Some of the sketches at CAS(E) This Sketch bring an idea to mind almost instantly and others take until the deadline nears to find a great card design.  This card took a while and a little design license.  I hope that's okay.

The skis and sentiment are courtesy of PTI.

Thanks for dropping by.  Stay safe if you are out and about for New Years Eve.

CAS(E) This Sketch #238

Nothing like a good sketch to make you use a stamp set you HAD to have. CAS(E) This Sketch did it for me this week.

This was made with PTI's Garden Gate set that I've only used twice but not these images. The frame and hanger are silver embossed and the Bleeding Hearts are stamped with Altenew Inks.

I finally got caught up on all my emails.  It feels good to whittle that number down and comment on all the blogs I get by email.  I so enjoy seeing all your beautiful creations.

Thanks for dropping by.
