CASE Study Challenge 37
Hi everyone, its CASE Study time again and the last week of Silke Ledlow as the muse. On a personal note; I am back from my trip to Orlando/Disney World, I had the best time but it just went so fast. I have come home and booked my next trip to Salt Lake City in July for Stampin’ Up! US Convention which I am SUPER excited about…. only 73 days until I leave! Something else I am excited about is my new computer which I am using to make this post…..I have only had it a few hours and I think I am in love!!!! It is a touch screen which is totally cool and also the screen is nice and big so I can enlarge what I am looking at make it easier on my poor old eyes, as some people know I have been having some eye sight issues lately so this will help, my eye sight caused a few issues while I was away which I can now giggle at, I was in the shower and reached to pick up a bottle of shampoo but it was hand cream….. I did not realise at first as both were new bottle I bought over there so I was not familiar with the bottle shape and I put the hand cream in my hair, it clicked with me what I had done as I was trying to wash it out and it was not washing out like it would normally! What’s worse I had a few other “moments”. Tipping was something “new” as we do not tip for as many things here in Australia as in the US and I again had just taken my glasses off and pulled out what I was sure was $4 {4 x $1 bills} but it was $103 {1 x $100 note & 3 x $1 bill} to tip someone….opps! I should of learnt my lesson but I did it again giving $50 in place of a $5 that time was just not looking at the notes well enough and I think I was too busy talking, this time I received lots of smaller notes for change, the lovely sales assistant thought I was mad when I told her she had given me too much change. Over the trip I took lots of photos and I will do a trip wrap up next week.
I always do this I talk to much about myself and not the card at hand, below in Silke’s Muse card for this week……What has inspired you?
What did I take inspiration from in the card? The pink on pink tones, the striped printed paper for the background, the pearls, and even the layout with a little twist…. I used the panel along the bottom and added a lovely scallop to mine, I was taken with Silke’s bow and flower to the right that so I used that in my card only spacing it out a little with the bow on the left and the butterfly/greeting on the right.

I was so proud of myself to have my CASE Study cards made before I went on holidays, its week 36 of CASE Study and the third week of Silke Ledlow as the muse. I loved this weeks challenge and it just had so many inspiring elements? What inspires you from it? I would love you to play along…..
To start with I just loved the pearls around the circle Silke used and she also inspired me to put out my Elements of Style stamp set for the flower image and I was going to have a bird flying in like her’s however it just did not look right.

A gift for Linda
I popped in yesterday to say hi however I never came back after my swim, I can’t believe I have only a few days left on my trip then the LONG flight home. Being the Stampin’ Up! “lover” I am one of my trip high lights was catching up with Linda Heller who is a demo over here in Florida, she is just so lovely and I made the card from CASE Study 35 for her and also a little gift of a bookmark, I have taken a few photos of it to show you…..
I have used the new level 2 hostess set from the Autumn Winter mini in Australia called Hope & Love or is it Love & Hope? not sure I don’t have a copy of the mini with me. I have also used the lovely new clear windows from the same mini.
Just to show you it inside a book 
Hi y'all…….
Just checking in from my holiday in Amercia, I am having a great time…. my poor little big feet are not having such a great time however with all the walking around Disney World and shopping I have been doing{lol}. I am feeling very relaxed….. as I type this I just had my sister and the kids knock on my door for a swim….. so I do have a card to share which I will do after my swim.
CASE Study Challenge 35
As this post goes live I will be just boarding a plane to San Francisco then on to Orlando for a holiday of a life time with my Mum, Sister and two little nieces….. the long flight is the only thing I am not looking forward to with a 1 and 5 year old…… are we there yet? Anyway it is CASE Study 35 this week with Silke Ledlow as our muse for April. Below is the card for this week:
Here is my spin on the card, I was inspired by the layout which I hope you can see how I have used that inspiration, I also used the newsprint paper and carried over the colour combo. I have used the new level two hostess set from the Autumn-Winter Mini Catalouge called Hope & Love and I LOVE IT. I am really happy with this card and I even have part two coming… I made a matching gift that I will show once I have given it away.

CASE Study Challenge 34
This is coming a little later then planned however finally able to get online and share my card for this weeks CASE Study and also tell you who the April Muse is…… Silke Ledlow, she has a wonderful clean style and I notice she likes lots of white cardstock {lol} but I love having a muse who has a different style to myself. If you have never been to her blog before check it out here and below is the muse card for week 34…
My card….. I think it is clear what inspired me! Yes…. it was the butterflies and layout, also I noticed Silke used jewels to add detail and I have also added pearls to my card. I love this stamp set I have used which is called “Strength & Hope” from the current Australian Autumn-Winter Mini and Stampin’ Up! are donating $2 from the purchase to breast cancer research.
