CASE Study Challenge #161 - You're A Doll

Happy Thursday and welcome to a new CASE Study Challenge.  Our muse this month is Elena Roussakis from Just Me Prints blog.  I am so happy to have been introduced to her - and am convinced she is the Queen of making every day extraordinary.  She has such fun clever ideas for dressing up ordinary objects, and making magic out of plain old card stock.   Check out our inspiration for this week.

When I first saw this inspiration photo I started thinking about a shaped card, and then the clever doll inside a doll got me thinking of a pocket card, but then I got stuck on the sweet matryoshka dolls and decided not to fight it!  They are too cute!  It gave me a good excuse to pull out my Waltzingmouse Stamps too!  I love it when a plan comes together!  HAHA!!!   I added some bitty tags stamped with dolls, a wood button with natural twine, and used a "folksy" looking pattern paper to pull it all together.   Remember you can spin this however you like - work with what inspires you!

I hope you will play along with us this week.  If you need a little more inspiration and want to see the other directions the CASE design team took this just click on their names below!
