CAS(E) this Sketch #199

Happy Beaujolais Nouveau Day!! Oh..... and wait, it's also time for a beautiful new sketch at CTS #199! Just take a peek at what Chrissy has designed and what the DT has come up with.You will surely be inspired to play along with us and add to the always fabulous CTS gallery (AND it's a two week challenge, so plenty of time to craft)!
Very, very CAS here today. Some pretty Altenew inks/stamps, a beautiful basic Frantic Stamper 'Stitched Rectangle' die and a bit of twine. Et voila!
P.S. - Please welcome our fabulous GD, Bhanana!



Fusion Card Challenge - 'Joy'


Happy Thursday and welcome to a new Fusion Card Challenge!
Such a beautiful inspiration photo and an equally lovely sketch! There are some amazing DT projects, 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!






































I decided on a 'Fusion' for this challenge! Loving the crisp gray/white combo and the added hints of silver in the cording,subtle layering and embossed sentiment. A few lovely dies (and tiny pearls) finish off this very CAS card.
We hope that you'll join in at the Fusion Card Challenge and will enjoy all of the loveliness/inspiration from the DT and the always fabulous gallery!

CAS(E) this Sketch #198


Happy Thursday and welcome to CTS #198! N@Ali has designed a beautiful and oh-so versatile sketch to inspire one and all!
I've got Christmas cards AND holiday tags (thank you very much Tracey McNeely!!) on the brain, so here's a combo - some basic kraft, classic gingham, and a lovely sentiment and pretty swag elements from Frantic Stamper.
Hope that you will join in at CAS(E) this Sketch #198. Can't wait to see what you've created!!
P.S. - A warm welcome to GD, Nicole!

CAS(E) thiis Sketch #197


Welcome to CTS #197! Leigh has created a fantastic sketch and this clean and simple beauty has really inspired the DT  - just take a peek! 
This card is the byproduct of my angst. SO MUCH PATTERNED PAPER, which sits all pretty on the shelves, but is rarely used. Yes, I believe that I have 6+ holiday specific pads that are virtually untouched. Anyway..... today's creation includes a tag inspired by the sketch, with lots of pattern and lovely tag and sentiment dies from Frantic Stamper.
We hope that you'll be joining in at CAS(E) this Sketch #197!

I have combined the sketch and photo inspiration- with lots 'o dies, kraft and a pop of color. 
Aren't those pencils just the cutest??!!
