What did I tell you? This week is just zooming by so fast! I'm still surrounded by fabulous PTI goodies I have to pack up for our make and take and just to add a li'l bit more pressure, I've come down with a horrid lurgy! I know my guy is so kind and sharing, but did he really have to share this with me?!
Sniffles and organising aside; it's Friday Eve and nothing stops for:

Here's what's up for CASEing this week:

Check out the leafy goodness on this baby! So in between sniffles, coughing, spluttering and organising, I squeezed what little inky time I could find to make my take of it:
Recognise it?! OK so I've kinda cheated and used my own card from my last post for extra inspiration; but as I'm so busy (and ill *sob*) I'll hope you'll let me off!
Just a note about this card- the title of today's post is a reference to my seam binding; it's s'posed to be a flower if you couldn't tell! Don't ask me how I created that random flower from the seam binding. I envy all of you who can create those beautiful bows with it. I even followed a tutorial and my bow looked awful! So as a last resort, I stuck a load of tape down and twisted the ribbon randomly, sticking a button in the middle for the centre LOL! Do you think I'll get away with it?!
So as always - we'd love it if you could join in this week with us! If you need more inspiration (I have a feeling you might if you're still squinting at the screen trying to make the seam binding look like a flower LOL!) then check out the fabby CASE study DT:

OK back to make and take business with large doses of honey and lemon for me! Have a super duper weekend - mine's gonna be busy but oh so fun meeting some of you! I can't wait!
Catch ya later!

Firstly, I'm so sorry that you're ill, girl! Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery, especially that the fun make & take is coming your way!
I adore that flower big way, why didn't I think about that before?! It's a totally rocking way to stamp these leaves too, you amazed me yet again!! Wahoo!
As soon as I saw this card, I thought...Hmmm...I have seen this before and then I read it was yours ;) This one is lovely too AimeS, TFS. I would love to play in CASE study but dont exactly know the meaning of it. I think its creating the same or what??? Please let me know.
Gorgeous card, Aimes! Love the colors you've used!

Well I hope that you feel better soon and just a quick comment to say that your card is amazing, complete with the flower!
Maybe being sick is helping you, because your mojo has been on FIRE girl. LOVE that flower...I can't make those shabby, floppy bows either, but this awesome flower I might be able to pull off...
Great CASE. Hope you feel better soon!
I absolutely adore your flower, Aimes! I didn't even have to squint at it! Super design and wonderful colors on your card. Love the whole thing, ESPECIALLY the seam binding flower!
Gorgeous, Aimes! That seam binding flower is awesome! I'm going to have to CASE *it*!
Oh Aimes you poor thing and just when you didn't need it aswell! Isn't that always the way?
Your card is lovely, I have to say I wondered how you created that lovely flower and when I read on I had to giggle. That's the sort of thing I'd do!
Hope you get better soon and no rush on posting my dies. It sounds like you are snowed under. Although I can imagine there are worst things to be snowed under with ;)
Hugs, Katie x

So glad you found a use for the ribbon...it looks fabulous...we card makers should never admit to how cards are put together!!! LOL...you should see some of mine!!! YIKES!!! I love that you CASEd yourself....I can see why...those leaves on the dotty biscotti are genius :) Feel better soon...sending you tea and honey in my thoughts :D Hey, did you redo your blog header and signature yourself or did someone do it? I'm thinking I want to redo mine (but with help!)

The ribbon flower is beautiful! I chuckled while reading how you made it. But sometimes it takes just 'messing around' to achieve beauty. Hope you feel better soon esp. for your gathering on Sunday!
Amy, thank you so much for your comment!
Your work is incredible, right up my alley!
I am sorry to hear you are sick. Great job on the case. Love how the PP shows through the stamped image. I also like how your ribbon flower came out too. Hope you feel better soon and your make and take goes well.
This is fabulous Amy, you got me again wit the dots! You certainly haven' lost your creative flair with your lurgy! I hope you are back on track to good health very soon! :)
Wowza, Aimes, this is amazing! Fabulous card!
Absolutely gorgeous Aimes. Hope you are feeling better by Sunday! Can't wait! Nx
