Have you heard yet? I am celebrating 10 years of blogging!
Starting TODAY, each Tuesday this month you will want to be sure to visit my blog. I will share with you some special party guests (see below) and I have asked them to “CASE” a project from my blog. What does that mean? They get to copy or use some thing I have posted on here for inspiration. They have 10 years of ideas to pick from! They each have browsed my archives and found a card or project on my blog that has inspired them to create and they will be sharing with you that creation! Fun, right? Also be sure to read below how YOU can help me celebrate and see all the FABULOUS sponsors I have prizes from to share with YOU!
Edited to Add:

- Week 2’s fun and inspiration
- Week’s 3 inspiration and party guests
- Week 4’s celebration
First let me share with you the card I chose to CASE. I love this “cluster stamping” card I created back in 2013. I thought it would be fun to recreate it with some newer Lawn Fawn stamps and of course switch it up a bit.
So I pulled out one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamp sets, Life Is Good and went to town creating a similar card to the above one. This time I played with stitched squares (those weren’t even around 2 years ago 🙂 ) and of course I did a bit of watercoloring with Distress Inks. What do you think?
Supplies Used:
Visit my Party Guests
I asked some of my crafty friends to help me celebrate this month and to inspire YOU. They all chose a project from my blog to CASE and are sharing it on their blogs. I have new party guests EACH Tuesday this month- wicked fun right? So plan to be here each and every Tuesday in July! Let’s PARTY! Visit all my party guests
What’s a celebration without gifts!?!
