Default FS389 {7/20/14} You'll Want to Stay...

...and play, because our Featured Stamper is
Karren Johnson, aka karrenj!
I'd be delighted to CASE any card in Karren's beautiful gallery,
you'll definitely be spoiled for choice! So take a browse HERE
and then let your creativity flow!

Karren, here's your blog badge:



Here's my sample card based on Karren's lovely butterflies card.

FS389 Gallery Submissions
Keyword: FS389

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!

I just got Bridget's PM and had to rush over here straight away :o I'm so totally blown away by this honour, especially seeing who has been featured already - a lot of them are my stampy idols

Thank you! You have totally made my day (and week and month...)

THANK YOU Bridget for introducing me to Karren and her fabulous gallery - I love how we chose the same card to case but our case's are a million miles apart! Great fun!

Heart FS389 Pretty Delicious

Karren congrats on being this week's FS! You have a wonderful gallery. I was inspired by your card Rosy Celebration and used SU's for the love of chocolate for my sentiment, along with rubbernecker's sundae image. Added some sparkly bling, and washi tape, along with a butterfly and bunny. Here's Pretty Delicious

Default Had to CASE Two

I was not familiar with Karren's gorgeous gallery, but WOW, I loved perusing it! I found several wonderful cards begging to be CASED and chose two. Here are my cards, created in Karren's honor: Flowers for Karren and Birthday Time.

I realize this is way off the one I chose to case -- but because of the birds I chose this one:

I too had a hard time deciding - I think I found three favorites on the first page of Karren's gallery! I dug a little deeper and found this one Stacked Birthday by karrenj - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers. The triangles intrigued me, so I created this one

Thanks for introducing me to another wonderful designer!

Another card for the FS Karren that I made last week. It was a thank you card and I waited for the recipient to get it before post this. I loved her gallery and found so many cards that really inspired me!
