Oooh...some fabulous news for you today!! For the month of October I get to be Guest Designer at CASE Study Challenge Blog!! This has always been one of my favorite places to play. How can you go wrong with weekly inspiration from Iwona (Chupa) Palamountain, Amy Wanford, Andrea Ewen, Christina MacLaren, Clare Buswell, Debby Hughes, Jean Martin, Maureen Plut, and Teneale Williams? 
Every month CASE hosts a guest "Muse"! This month's it's Julia Stainton from Belle Papier and this is her creation to inspire us! Now let me explain what I love about Case Study... you get introduced to a fabulous designer, you get to see the design team take on the challenge and then you get to play! You can use anything from the design as a source of inspiration. You can use the sketch layout, the color scheme, or one of the theme elements (like the clock) .. and the rest is all up to YOU! C&S or Fussy - doesn't matter - it's all about what inspires YOU! The thing I like the very most about CASE is that it always gets me to try something new or look at things in a different way.
The element that struck me most that I wanted to try was the stamping on the patterned paper. Seems like I am always stamping on white or cream - never on paper that already has a pattern. I thought that a stamp with less detail would have the most impact. I kept the same layout as the original - I just changed up the theme.
Hugs!
Jeanne
