CASEplorations August - reminder

Howdy! Just stopping in to remind you that we've got a bold beauty to inspire you at CASEplorations this month. We're CASEing the talented Vijaylaxmi Siyal (Shalu) of All By Heart Creation. Navy and white stripes. Orange blooms. Lovely isn't it?

CASE Vijaylaxmi's card and hook up to the gallery. The team will vote for a winner who will receive a $15 gift certificate to the STAMPlorations store OR a 3x5 stamp set. And two runners up will receive a $5 gift certificate.

CASEplorations August

It's CASEplorations time again. Happy August. Just heard a radio announcer say that now that it's August, summer is drawing to a close. Geesh. Slow down, folks. We loved your inky beauties in last month's gallery. We've got a card for you to CASE this month that I chose cuz of its nice bold summery vibe. Sure hope you like it. Let's do our part to prolong summer just a bit longer, shall we?

Our card this month comes from the talented Vijaylaxmi Siyal (Shalu) of All By Heart Creations. She designs over at Peek-a-boo Designs and Decorate To Celebrate. I like how Vijaylaxmi can create various styles of cards. They are always nice and colorful. And she's great at upcycling too! Check out her blog and leave her some love, won't you? Her card for CASEplorations was an entry for our January CAS challenge. You can find out more about it here.



See all the great design elements - bold stripes, blooms, coloring with wonderful shading, sequins, twine, heat embossing? Lots to choose from here for CASEing.

CASEplorations August

Can you believe it's August already? Time for a new installment of CASEplorations! You know the routine. We pick a knock-out card from the blogosphere for your and our CASEing pleasure.

This month we have a designer for you who is one of the leading ladies over at Splitcoast Stampers with her beautiful and technique-y cards. You may also know her from the One Layer Simplicity challenge where she's part of the team. And when I tell you that she has the most blue and watercolor-y cards out in the blogosphere (well, by my statistics, that is) you surely know who our guest is this month. Please welcome Karen Dunbrook of Snippets fame!

Please meet her lovely blue creation...
