SEEKING INSPIRATION … CASEing

As a Home Economics teacher, I could explain what a casing is from my experience with sewing …. but when I first heard of CASEING, I didn’t know what was going on.

This is from someone who first thought LOL meant lots of love (as any mother would) – much to the amusement of my digital native daughters.

Being someone who loves to learn, I sought to understand … so to CASE is to copy and share everything.

I don’t know about you, but I find it hard at times to come up with ideas for a card, scrapbook page or some other project. Sometimes we just need a little inspiration to get us started.

I have been lucky to be able to use the wonderful projects Tanya Bell has shared with me in my 2014 make and takes, occasionally with my own little twist.

I have trawled the internet, Google images, blogs, Facebook and …. seeking inspiration from so many very creative crafters to make cards and other projects to make and give.

When my confidence builds, I know that I can go that bit further and start creating my own ideas and designs. So thank you to everyone who shares what they have created … I appreciate the time you have spent and am grateful for your generosity.

CASING provides an opportunity to learn from others and, like most things in life, requires a few basic manners … give credit and be courteous.

In my last post I shared a few images from my Occasions launch and acknowledged Michele Long, Sarah Wills and the amazing team at SU for their creations in the Occasions catalogue because I had CASED their work. Michele’s card inspired the butterfly card I created and I copied Sarah’s as she had created. I added one or two elements and varied the bows from the SU card.

Over the next few days, I want to share the places I go to seek inspiration.

Hoping you check this out tomorrow …
