New Muse, New Challenges....

Hey!

Happy Friday Eve! Half of me is still expecting another sweet bank holiday as we've been spoilt with them recently - guess it'll finally hit me as I'm going to work tomorrow and on Monday...I really must get used to the idea of working on those days again LOL!

Anyways you know the deal, right? It's Friday Eve and so it's time for another fabulous CASE study.



AND seeing as it's a new month, it's time for a new muse! Now this month's muse is someone whose blog I stalk frequently and whose style I truly admire but could never pull off myself (gonna be learning a lot from CASEing this uber talented lady this month methinks!)....any guesses who? Yup, it's no other than Sarah Martina Parker!

Check out this beauty of a card up for CASEing this week:

You can check out the original post of this card here!

Y'know every time I admire this card, I discover something new that I hadn't spotted before - it's full of treasures!

Now if you're expecting me to jump into the doilies and seam binding I'm sorry to disappoint. I hope to - at least once this month - try to embrace more of Sarah's style and have fun with it, but time was against me this week. Still, I did take elements of Sarah's card and put my own kinda CAS spin on 'em:

I loved the white embossed panel on the kraft cardstock so that was the first thing I did! The rest of the card kinda fell into place: I played with a button for a while but it just wouldn't sit nicely anywhere so I left it off. Not sure if it's too plain but I can tell you that the gems sparkle much more IRL!

OK so that's my turn, now it's yours! I'd love to see your own take on Sarah's beautiful card. Oooh and don't' forget to check out what the rest of the super duper CASE study DT created:

I'm signing off now to go and vote today. We've got an election and voting is something that I'm really passionate about - it you don't use it then you lose it!

Have a super weekend and I'll hope to catch up with everyone and everything in Blogland soon! :)

Catch ya later!
