Oh! How you have been treated this week! A whole three posts from me within the working week! How I wish I had enough hours in the day to keep this up *sigh*
Now y'know why I'm here today, right?

Yup - a shiny new CASE study is up and ready for you to play along with! It's Mercy's final week with us and I'll think you'll agree that she's definitely been an inspiration with her creations and this week proves no different:

Y'know I'm beginning to think I maybe getting a reputation as the rebel of the CASE study DT: my cards seem to go on long, wandering, creative journeys and often end up hardly anything like the original source of inspiration...but then I remember that this is the whole idea behind CASE study! It's fun to all start from one source of inspiration, go on a creative journey and see where we all end up (well, that's my reasoning and I'm stickin' to it!)
Anyways, rebel or not, here's my take on the CASE study this week:
Hmmm...not too rebellious of me, is it? I hope you can see that I took inspiration from the tall card and the idea to have three items to provide a focal point (in my case - those ever-faithful stars!) I think the thing I like the most about this card is that the majority of it was created from scraps: that panel of circle apertures was from my scrap pile, as was the black strip of cardstock!
And check it out: another card that uses some DP! Oooh at this rate I'll be through my stash in about...erm....well let's not think about that but enjoy the fact that by using some sheets up it frees more room for more scrummy DP *grin*
Fancy joining in the fun? I hope so! One randomly selected, lucky peep will win this "Because I Care" SU! Level 1 Hostess Set courtesy of the lovely Cindy Coutts.
