I saw this post by Christine Oken on SCS today and literally my jaw dropped. I tagged the message her and decided to share with all of you. “Hey Flourishes Fans, I didn’t want you to miss this! ….Our very own Julie Koerber, DT Coordinator and Designer Extraordinaire was chosen today as the Featured Stamper here
Congrats Julie!”
I am really looking forward to see your CASE of Julie’s cards. I know this is up early but in the past 6 days, I’ve driven 1700 miles and logged about 5000 miles that took 14 hours on a plane so I’m really tired. If I didn’t put the challenge up now, I think I would have fallen asleep on the job!
I chose Julie’s Christmas Doves card and made my Praying For You card. Our sketch is similar with blue, a little bling, and I changed everything else. Our background shapes are also similar.
Be sure to check out all of the fun at the FS244 Gallery!
HOW DO I PLAY?:
Go to the Featured Stamper’s gallery and CASE a card, following these simple CASEing Guidelines:
1. Change 2 or more things on the Featured Stamper’s project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different — but similar because you don’t own the exact image. Please list the changes you made in your description.
2. Give credit to the original stamper and put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.
4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper’s card, make sure it isn’t a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially is a CASE of the sketch since it isn’t the Featured Stamper’s original idea. Sketch challenges include Mojo Sketches, Design Team Sketch Challenges, and Blog Sketch Challenges, etc. Please be sure to check the keywords!
UPLOADING DIRECTIONS:
1. Keyword FS244.
2. In the Details Section of your card, please describe the changes you have made, give credit to the Featured Stamper, and link her card. Fill in the products that you used in the blanks provided so that others can CASE your card too! Please do not link back to your personal blog.
If you are new to challenges, please feel free to this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get you stamping!
