thinking of you.


Early morning crafting before I head out to the Impress Holiday Open House!

I've been wanting to use the feather die from MFT on a project and I've been neglecting my SRM stash:


I was inspired by the current



Did you see how the RIC DT was inspired?  Honestly, that team rocks.

Here's how I was inspired:

overall colors
black and white pattern = base panel (Crate)
wood floors = veneer (Studio Calico?)
 sunglasses = polkas (Fresh Squeezed Stamps)

Do you see how I was inspired? 

I got the "I don't get it." from Darin when he saw the card in the photo tent.  I tend to get that from the boy too when it is a card based on an inspiration photo.

Playing along with the gals over at



Here's to a crafty Saturday!

Such a unique combination of colours and elements make for a stunning card that, in my view, "gets" the RIC photo perfectly! Hope your Open House trip was fabulous!

This is soooooo cool. Your feather looks extremly pretty on the map background and the wood veneer is the perfect eye catcher. GREAT job. Thanks for playing along with us in the CAS(E) this sketch! challenge and hope to see you again.
