Case Study 4th Anniversary and Cristina Kowalczyk

Love that Case Study is featuring past design team members during the Anniversary celebration ...I'm so happy to, once again, be dazzled by Cristina's brilliance - aren't you?  Here is her card for this week:


Cristina makes a great point when asking:  "...why don't we use the backs of cards more?"  I did have that darling little bicycle stamp, but I've been thinking of a dear friend from my years of living in New York.  Dolores is still one of my dearest friends even though she now lives in South Carolina and I'm in Michigan.  We often laugh and say, "the neighborhood has gone to hell without us!" which is the inside sentiment for my card.

For my take on Cristina's fabulous card, and Case Study Week 3:


There is a little hidden message included... see if you can find it!
Heidi Grace, and SSS stamps, colored a bit.

    Love you this! This is a sweet little neighborhood :)
    The touches of color are perfect and love the message swirled along the roof line.

    Oh I just love this card, I love Cristina's thoughts on using the backs of our cards. Why not, your houses are just perfect running along the back of your card!

    What a great idea to run the houses onto the back of the card. The coloring is so vibrant and cheerful and adding the message over the rooftops is a special touch.
