CATERED CROP - RECIPE SWAP.....

Hello everyone!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend so far??? The sun has finally come back to the South and we are planning on enjoying the extra rays today. 

Before Miriam and I are heading out on a walk, I wanted to share the ongoing  
CATERED CROP RECIPE SWAP CHALLENGE - SAFE TRAVELS with you........Whether you like to travel on a bicycle, motorcycle, car, plane, train, boat, or camper . . . across the world or in your back yard, this challenge is wide open to anything related to travel. Show us where you’ve been or where you hope to go. However you want to travel, where ever you wander, add us as your escort.

The reason I have chosen this ODBD Set is, that the entire Ledlow family is heading out for a Disney Cruise this Summer.  This image definitely portraits how much we are looking forward to our trip on the ocean!!!

Hope you get a chance to play along?!? For more inspiration check out this Pinterest Board....

CS179 & CATERED CROP - HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES TO YOU....

Hello and happy Thursday!

I'm back with this weeks CASE STUDY card....

We are into our third week with our February Muse - Danielle Flanders and here is her new inspiration card for this week.....

I was definitely inspired by the birthday theme and the fun elements Danielle has displayed on her card. I actually had a whole different card in mind then the one I've made, but couldn't find the stamp set I wanted to use. My craft room is a complete mess and I really need to clean it so I can find my stuff :) !!!  Anyway, I walked away with a *CAS* design, but also tried to add some of the fun elements onto my card...not sure if I succeeded, but I guess it is what it is...wink! 

We hope you have a chance to hop around and get inspired as well. Please don't forget to check out our February Guest Designers May Park and Caryn Davis......along with the rest of the team....
