Happy Monday & a woot! woot! to all my fellow teachers here in the U.S. who are lucky enough to have the day off.
Today I'm playing along with two FUN challenges...have you heard about this week's "Combined Grind" challenge over at The Play Date Cafe? They have teamed up with CASE Study to bring us ONE fabulous inspiration! Now I'm ashamed to say that I have never played at CASE Study before (Sorry, Aimes!), but I am super excited to join in on the fun this week!
We were to use not only the colors, but anything from the inspiration card (courtesy of CASE Study's February muse, Eva Dobilas). I was inspired by the mix of patterns, the butterfly (including the text, which I used as a background), & the button tied with twine, so I incorporated all of those into my card. I sometimes find it difficult to CASE someone whose style is much more elaborate & detailed than mine, but I think I stayed true to me. What do you think?
Hope you like it!
