Are you gearing up for a long weekend? The weather here is unusually warm - this week has been in the 90's - really unusual for the end of August in the Chicago Area! We might just get some use out of the pool yet before it's time to close it up for the winter. Labor Day at my house will always mean my Mom's birthday. We will have her here for a cook out or if she's not up to it - make sure to invade her home with our rowdy bunch! Yes - even Stinker Binker - she adores her Grandma :)
It's Thursday so time for a new CASE Study Challenge. It's the end of the month so it will be our last one with Jennifer McGuire. Not to get on my soapbox - but while Jennifer is a relatively famous name in the card making world - I can't tell you how many wonderful and talented ladies I've been introduced to through CASE Study. There is a whole world of styles out there - and Chupa does all the research bringing you someone who is fresh and innovative. Check out our inspiration for this time. What do you love? The pattern, the stripes, the banner edges, the hearts, the clean layout of the card, the colors... I always want to take elements that stand out to me and rearrange them to make them uniquely "all mine" somehow. This time I focused in on the zig zag chevron pattern of the stripes and made an entire background of them. I mimicked the banners with my banner sentiment, and instead of hearts i sprinkled on a few gems. Do you see it? The inspiration? 
Our special guest designer this month is Kimberly Wiener - she's done a wonderful job this month you want to be sure to check her out first!

Jeanne...wow! Ok, I am sooooo happy that I ordered this die now after seeing your stunning card. Reminds me a quilt that my grandmother made many years ago. So sweet.
This is just fabulous. Amazing way to use patterned papers. How happy am I that I ordered this die, and I believe it is coming tomorrow. Hope to get some time to use it to case you.
I only wish the quilt I'm working on would turn out half as beautiful as this! What a gorgeous mix of papers, Jeanne. So pretty to look at!
Um, oh my gosh this is gorgeous! Whoa!!!!
