Can you believe it’s our last CASE Study challenge with Jennifer McGuire? Sigh. Not a happy chicken… I wish we had another month! I enjoyed this one so much, even though I was short on time and couldn’t give my CASEs enough attention. Here’s the last inspiration piece:

Chevron-tastic, no? I can’t say enough good things about this layout, I think it rocks. However, CASE’ing it as it is would be redundant so I opted for a more creative approach. I translated the diagonal elements into the scored lines, and the chevron made its way into the speech bubble, which I cut with my silhouette from an old My Mind’s Eye patterned paper (Alphabet Soup collection) and backed with a piece of fuchsia cardstock.

The wood veneer elements are further inspired by Muse challenge #32 (which is Lori Tecler’s card below), you can see that I took a bite from both our challenge and the card below, and made it work for me.

Check out the blogs below for the Design Team’s takes on the challenge, or visit CASE Study to see it all happening in one place. It’s sadly our last challenge with Maureen Plut and Teneale, both need more time to pursue their dreams and I wish them all the best in whatever they do. I’m missing them already!

I also wanted to give you a heads up, that I’m on the Paper Crafter’s Library again today! I’m showing you how to make the most of a stamp set with matching dies, such as Papertrey Ink’s Lovely Layers which I used on my cards. Hop on over to the Paper Crafter’s Library, to see the full article. See you there!
