CAS(E) this Sketch #82


Hey folks!  Welcome back to the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.  We have to start the week with a little sad news.  We are sad to say Jennifer Wills is stepping down. This is her last sketch with us. We love her work and wish her all the best for her future. You will be missed here Jen!  She is one of the sweetest people out there and we are all so lucky to have gotten to know her on the team.  Her cards always brought a smile to our faces.  She'll be busy sharing her creations with us on her blog and I know, I'll be heading over often to get my Jen fix!  Make sure you wish her the best!  Thanks for everything, Jen, and we'll see you around!

Are you ready for the sketch this week?  It's a fun one.  Here's our awesome sketch from N@ Ali:


This is one versatile sketch open to interpretation. Explore and have fun.  First up, our awesome guest designer this week, Torico!  When her card showed up in my inbox, I could do nothing but smile.  It's PERFECT for this sketch and adorable also.  Make sure you check out her blog, Stamparadise, and congratulate her on her guest designer spot for the week.  We are lucky to have her and her amazing style!  Ready for her card?



See what I mean?  Let's see how rest of the design team members interpreted the sketch.

CAS(E) this Sketch #81

Good morning and happy Thursday!  Have we got a fun challenge for you this week!  We are pairing up with Fusion this week for an amazing joint challenge that we know you guys are going to love.  When Lesley sent me the inspiration photo, I was just stupefied by how pretty it was and how well it went with our sketch this week.  It was as though we were in each others' heads or something.  We hope that our joint challenge will inspire you to play along with both challenges this week.  Just a note for all of you, to play in the Fusion challenge you do not necessarily have to use the sketch but to link it up to our CAS(E) this Sketch challenge, you will have to use the sketch.  We hope to see tons of cards using the sketch and the inspiration photo (good for both challenges) but you are welcome to only use the sketch (good for both challenges) or only use the picture (Fusion challenge only).  We'll leave that up to you.  We are just excited to have you join us both!  Make sure to note that this week's challenge will be ending on Wednesday instead of Thursday so we can coordinate with Fusion and pic our overall winner.  Without further ado, here is the inspiration for the week:



Our guest designer for the week is going to blow you away with her card.  Diane is an amazing card designer and her blog Peaceful Lane is an inspiration parade.  You will be blown away the amazing cards she creates.  I encourage you to go check out her blog and give her a big congrats for being our guest designer this week.  Are you ready to see her creation?



Here's what the rest of the team did with our joint challenge:







Maureen Merritt


Donna Mikasa


Michelle Williams
