Challenge 53 - CASE Inkspiration and Design Team Call

For this week's challenge we are challenging you to CASE anything by our fabulous DT member Sandie. 
CASE = Copy And Share Everything

We need to see the similarities with your card to Sandie's original card but of course you need put your own twist on it. Different papers, image, embellishments, etc. 

BTW - Sandie  has a definite Clean And Simple style - but your creation does not have to be CAS - we want to see your own twist! 

Here are 4 great creations you could choose, or you can pick any card on her blog. (If you choose one from her blog please provide a link to the card that you are CASEing.) 

We will be choosing  a top pick/s from this challenge and inviting one entrant to join us as a Guest Designer. 

We have a wonderful Guest Designer this week and it is

Sandie L 

My name is Sandie Lobbezoo, I'm happily married 36 years, have 6 kids, 8 grandkids (& one more arriving in May)...and I am pretty well addicted to cardmaking! I've been doing artsy stuff my whole life and started scrapbooking about 20 years ago...which somehow lead to cardmaking about 4 years ago.

Because we are now "empty-nesters" I have a whole craftroom to work in and gather crafty treasures/supples. I love CAS cards but stuggle with keeping things simple...probably because I also like the vintagey, ornate look...not a good combination! LOL

I love the Inkspirational blog...it really IS very inspirational! Its such an honor to be a Guest Designer for them!

Here is our Guest Designer's beautiful card:

We are delighted to welcome  Gerrina  as our wonderful guest designer this challenge. 

Hi, I am Gerrina and I thrilled to have been asked to be a Guest designer for this great challenge blog!  I live in the Netherlands and  have been crafting since I was a little girl, I started photography at eight and put the photo´s in books in a way that I found out in 2000 that it was called scrapbooking. From buying a few stamps to stamp some quotes  in my books, now I am addicted to stamps! I like to use them on cards, in books, on canvas, AJ´s and whatever I can think of…  From challenges and blogging I get inspired and met some great ladies, whom I don´t have to tell what it means to play with stamps and ink….

Here's her fabulous creation:

Gerrina is also on the DT of a brand new challenge blog, Time Out Challenges , so why not pop over there and support them?..........

........But not until you've seen the projects made by our Design Team:
