Winners!

I'm sorry for a delayed post, I've been having major internet issues! In fact, it still acts wonky but none the less well enough to finish this post.
I could only browse through (most of) the posts but no luck commenting, the internet stops working when I try to do that and I have to restart the browser to bring it back in. Highly distressing!! I'm hoping to find the solution to the problem by tomorrow... wish me luck!
Anyway, please put our hands together to this week's winning artists!

Our winner for CSC54 is Betty from her Stamping To The Wright!!

This card is a definition of lusciousness, it's so vibrant it seems to be radiating its own light. On top of that, there's a perfect colouring and shading on the image panel, and the lovely accents like the lush embellished bow and the flourish frame, make it even more special. Thank you for sharing this beauty, Betty!

Our Top 3 winners are:

Jo @ We Don't Do Duvets
Laurie @ Soapbox Creations
Karen @ her 2 Peas gallery

Congratulations, ladies!
Winners, feel free to grab your badges (right click & save onto your computer), and wear them proudly :)

Thank you for having joined us in this very special month! We all had a blast and I'm already looking forward to doing it next year :) We're jumping right into our regular scheduling tomorrow, and with it comes a new talented Muse! I'll see you then ~

Sneaking a peek!

It's been so much fun to celebrate this month, but it's nearly time to get back to our regular schedule! We are introducing a brand new Muse (and another DT member) on the first day of September, and for now let's see a snippet of one of the Muse's fantastic creations...

Hands up who knows who this might be! :)

In with the winners!

It's been a truly amazing week, for all of us here but especially for me - I can't thank you enough for your participation! It really is a one-of-a-kind experience, to see so many different takes on my cards, I'm feeling so inspired! Before I grab a stamp and an inkpad, I would like to introduce you to our magnificent four...

Our winner for CSC53 is Jennifer from her Our Change Of Art!!

You will find not one, but four AMAZING cards in Jen's post (thank you so much for making my day, girl!!), but this one particularly made me swoon. I might be biased, but I think it's one of the coolest colour combos around. Also, I adore the black stitching and the striking florals. This card is simply perfection... congrats, Jen!!

Our Top 3 winners are:

Eli @ Cards By Eli
Michelle @ Stop and Stamp the Roses
Judith @ Jay Gee's Nook

Congratulations, ladies!
Winners, feel free to grab your badges (right click & save onto your computer), and wear them proudly :)

Hello and welcome to week 3 of our Anniversary month! As you noticed, we're doing things a little differently, and giving you a different CASEing opportunity each week.
I'd like to say that I was somewhat talked into this week's challenge, but I would be a liar if I said that I don't like the idea... this week we are all inspired by me! (Chupa)

Feel free to pop into my blog and choose whatever strikes your fancy, or scroll through the previous CASE Study challenges to find some of my creations there. I can't wait to see what you make!

As always, below you will find the inspiration from our DT gals. Click on their names to be taken to their blogs, where you'll be able to read upon the details of their inspired cards.

What a fabulous week, crafty peeps! We had a great number of participants... goodness knows you LOVED our July Muse as much as we did :)
We'd like to thank Dawn for being such a wonderful inspiration throughout the month.

Our winner for CSC50 is Maureen from Mama Mo Stamps!!

I love this leafy stamp, for one. But it's the lovely monochromatic scene that Maureen created and a perfect composition, that won me over! I also love the serene, organic look and a choice of the sentiment. The card is so versatile, that it would be perfect for a variety of occasions. Got to love that :)

Our Top 3 winners are:

Tui @ Stampin Time
Rosemary @ Hey There, Rosigrl!
Dawn @ her Flickr Photostream

Congratulations, ladies!
