May I Have this Dance?

This is a special day for the Crafty Gals blog group. It's the 5th of the month, which means we have our monthly CASE. This month we're CASE'ing Diane. But before I show you my CASE, I want to tell you about the {PIN}Spirational Challenge that begins today.

November 5 - 11

The sponsors for this challenge are 

Kenny K

and

Stamping Boutique

THANK YOU to both of the sponsors! We appreciate you so much!

Here is the photo to {PIN}Spire us this week:

I used a Kenny K image to create my card:

Here's the inside of my card:

I hope you'll play along with the {PIN}Spirational Challenge this week!

The CASE of Diane!

Each month the Crafty Gals CASE one of our own. Melina, our leader, tells us who we'll be CASE'ing; then we head off to that member's blog and look for something to CASE. I had such fun exploring Diane's blog because she has such gorgeous cards! I had such a difficult time choosing one. I mean, really! Take a look at this. And this one, too. I also love this card.

I finally settled on this card for my CASE. The funny thing is, I was just looking at the pictures; not reading the posts at all. It wasn't until after I'd made my card for the CASE that I discovered the card of Diane's that I CASE'd was actually the card she made last year for the theme that I challenged the Crafty Gals to use.


So... I CASE'd the cute little Elmo of Diane's card, and this is what I made...

An Elmo card!

And not just Elmo... he also needed friends!

Here's Cookie Monster:

And Big Bird:

And Oscar the Grouch:

Now, let's head over to the other Crafty Gal blogs and see what they CASE'd of Diane's. You can find the links to their blogs in my left sidebar.

I'm so glad you've stopped by my blog today!
