Case Study Inspiration!

I have been wanting to get back into the swing 

of crafting (just for the sake of crafting) for some time now. 

As many of you know, owning and illustrating a line of stamps 

tends to monopolize ALL the possible creative time you might want - 

So, it's kinda been my fall resolution (yeah, I make seasonal resolutions :) 

to create more just for the fun of creating - not just for my business. 

You know what helps me with this? 

Challenges! 

For some reason challenges just gets my mojo going and I feel really ready 

to create - 

So, I created this card with this week's 

Case Study Challenge in mind. 

Ever stopped by the Case Study Challenge? 

You must!! They have amazing designers and great challenges! 

Check em out HERE. 

Anywho, here was the inspiration for this challenge

(by the uber talented Torico - illustrator and designer!) 

Isn't that just the cutest card?! 

Ok, here is my take on the inspiration - 

(it's not as nicely done - obviously! Torico is ahhh-mazing! ) 

The sentiment reads - Congrats Smartie Pants! 

I made this card with my hubby in mind b/c he just 

passed his second (out of four) CPA tests. So, he is 

a total smartie pants! 

Thanks for stopping in and checkin' in on me.

Happy Stamping and Crafting!
