Where's the inspiration from?

We all get inspiration from somewhere right? It might be a card we see at the store, a pretty piece of paper, Pinterest, a friend or even something totally left field like a kiddies dress. (That card has to wait but it's worth it)

Have you heard of CASE? Copy And Share Everything. Lol there's a whole Stampin' Up! Demo's blog dedicated to it known as CASEing the Catty.

Today I will share a card that I have CASED almost exactly to a stamper I love to follow. Brian King from http://stampwithbrian.com is a great card maker from the States that I get a lot of inspiration from but every now and then I feel a great need to recreate his exact card because I love it so much. 

So Thank You Brian for your inspiration I look forward to seeing what goodies you create with the upcoming stampsets in the new Catalogue.

On-Stage celebrating

We have just got back from On Stage and I thought I'd share my swaps.

The Burlap ribbon looks so different all pulled apart.

Soft Sky card stock with some watered down Soft Sky ink washed across it made for a great background although initially I was a bit worried.

All set up like a production line. 

Yay first one of what turned out to be 48 finished. 

Now for a photo shoot in front of the photo rock (I do love my photo rock)
