Enchanted Evening + Kraft = ♥

Hey!

Well this week is seriously dragging by for me...it's doesn't help that a sore throat on Monday has now turned into a stinky, icky cold. Still, I guess it goes with my job really so I'm not complaining - I'm just looking to the weekend to rest!

And speaking of the weekend - let's celebrate it a li'l early with Friday Eve here today and a brand new:


CASE study! Yup our Muse, Mercy Kerin has this li'l number up for CASEing this week:


And here is my very CAS and very mini (measuring at just 2.5" square!) take on it:

OK so you're wondering to yourself, 'what did she actually CASE?!' Well you might need a magnifying glass, but I was inspired by the mounted panel of cardstock the same colour as the base, the border punching, the bling and those shades of blue. I think I've rediscovered a new love for PTI's Enchanted Evening with Kraft ♥ ♥ ♥

I tested my patience again with my fave gloopy, goody - Glossy Accents. That butterfly is covered in it, though my pic doesn't capture just how pretty and shiny it is!

So c'mon and join in the fun! One lucky peep will be randomly selected to win a sweet stamp set from The Angel Company courtesy of Christina Franco!

And if you need more inspiration then be sure to check out the rest of the CASE study DT:
