CASE Study 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop

Hello all, Today's post is all about celebrating the 2nd Anniversary of CASE study Challenge!

What a monumental achievement, not only is CASE study continuing but still growing each week, a HUGE congratulations to all Iwona and the CASE study team!

This week to celebrate we are hopping with our 'Signature Style'

previous Muses, DT Alumni and current Design Team are all part of the party too with their style

 I have been lucky enough to be sandwiched between 2 fabulously talented ladies (boy do I feel the pressure-lol!) 

 You should have arrived from the Teresa blog and when you leave here next stop is Silke's blog, I am sure you are and will be very inspired by their marvellous creations!  

If you get lost along the way you can always head back to CASE study and start the hop there.

Of course every celebration calls for prizes, this one is no different, just hop along and make a full round of comments to be in the running for the fabulous prizes on offer

If you would like to participate creatively too, link up your creation by 12.01 EST next Wednesday

Taking inspiration (very loosely I might add!) from the SSSC#164

What would you expect from my signature style??

 La La Land, Dots, circles, and bright colours possibly ornge and green??

well, here is my card covering all those ..............

Happy Hopping, enjoy the creative flair along the way!

CASE study #34- An AWESOME new arrival and NO more sleeps!!!!

Well peoples, the time has finally arrived!! 

We are welcoming a new Muse, I am so excited to have,  the one..... the only....... uber talented Silke Ledlow from My Life joining us for the month of April!!!!!

I have always admired Silke's designs, clean lines, the gorgeous bows and the 'signature white', when I grow up I want to be 'Silke'-lol!!!!!

When I found out that Silke had agreed to join us at CASE study, I knew what I needed to do........

• stock up on white cardstock
• ensure silver pearls were topped up
• blow the dust off the score buddy
• and count down the sleeps!!!

 Without further ado, here is Silke's magnificent inspiration

Mmmmmmmmmmm........

CASE study #25, welcoming a new Muse!

Hello and welcome back for another week at CASE study!

I am writing this with a heavy heart and my mind in North Queensland, over night cyclone Yasi (category 5)hit the area.  Thankfully there has been no reported loss of life, just lots of damage to homes, buildings and the environment. 

There has not been alot of news coverage of the hardest hit areas so far, the news crews are still trying to gain access, as you can imagine the roads are littered with trees and live powerlines.

My heart goes out to those affected directly and those who lived through the night with howling winds (around 300km p/h), you are in my thoughts and prayers.  I am praying that the loss of life stays at zero, everything else can be replaced over time, but people can't!

To Judith, Tony, Brett and their families,  I trust you are all safe and hope to hear from you soon!

We welcome our new Muse for the month of February, the marvellous Eva from 'For the Love of Life', we are in for a fabulous and inspiring February!

You can see all the details of Eva's magical card here

I was inspired by the colours and the layout, although I took a little liberty with the layout!!

What inspires you?

The Recipe:

Cardstock:  Xpress it blending cardstock, Basic Black, Poppy Parade

 Stamps: A little Birdie Told  me digi (Robyn's Fetish)
 Copic markers: R20, R22, R24, R29, G21, G24, G28, B21, B24, B45, Y35, E33, E35, E37
