It’s time for another CASEing (Copy & Selectively Edit) Cross Country adventure with Karen Hallam in CA and myself here in PA. Each month, Karen and I take a turn deciding on the direction of our monthly project. Sometimes it’s a theme, sketch or perhaps a color scheme. This month, Karen chose the theme appropriately as it’s Back to School. I know that no matter how old and removed I become from a school setting, I will always see September as the back to school month. And I’m sure Karen, being a retired teacher, feels the same.
So I get to show you Karen’s adorable card first. Also, look how creative the envelope is peeking out behind the card! You can get all the details on her blog HERE.
For my CASE, I created a card and matching Post-It Note holder using Simon Says Stamps Take Note stamp set and coordinating dies.
To create the marbled notebook look, I relied on a pattern from Echo Park’s Back to School 6 x 6 pad. Who doesn’t love a marbled notebook?! I attended Catholic school and these were the only “regulation” notebooks we were allowed to use. No spiral bound notebooks for us until high school!
I’m playing along with the NBUS Challenge #42 HERE since this is my first go-around with the SSS Take Note stamps and dies.
Karen and I surely appreciate you hanging out with us on our CASEing adventure today…thank you!
Take care,
Rosanne
Happy Monday! I had a hard time trying to come up with a title for today’s post. Honestly, I find trying to figure out blog titles the hardest part of blogging! For today’s card, the first thing that came to mind was it had a bit of a country vibe with the woodgrain and whitewashed floral background. Using the patterned paper as a jumping point, I created a white(ish) pumpkin using the Fancy Pumpkin die from Jaded Blossom. The sentiment is from Sunny Studios: Autumn Greetings stamp set.
