Here I am on this a bit late saturday night rounding up my courage to show you my very first Mothermark caseing!!!! Well, looking at all her cards, they are so picture perfect, I thought. "I just need to follow in her footsteps and I'll be fine." NOT...I had this sweet K & Company pad I got for Christmas that has all the matching papers together. Mothermark said so now, of course I followed the first tip I got from reading her description. Then, it went downhill from there...I still think the papers are beautiful, but the card is somewhat ...I don't know! DH said, you just keep at it, you'll get there in about 4 or 5 years. Got me thinking about doing bad things to that card I made for him today...LOL
Paper: K & Company Amy Butler, whisper white CS SU
Ink: chocolate chip, versamark
Accessories: seafoam ep, bic mark it , white signo gelpen, chocolate chip marker, sage prisma, pink gingham ribbon, gold elastic string, little card with ace of heart, cut out hearts

Sillly girl, casing is a great way just to capture the idea. YOu take a card and make it your own; that's exactly what you've done here. I think it's pretty nifty, if you ask me. Great design.

Oh Peggy! Your card is wonderful! Silly girl....all your cards are wonderful! You are too hard on yourself...I agree with Lovely Linda...stand back, admire it and be impressed, just like us!
I am flattered that you cased one of my cards and thank you so much for your kind words....
Those DH's of ours sure like to get out goat don't they! Giggle! Today when I was making my FS card, the Photographer said, Ooh, I like this card, I said I copied the FS card and he said, that's probably why I like it! Oh brudder!!! .
Thanks for giving me warm fuzzies and for providing a link to my card girlfriend!
Every time Mike has an opinion, I go and buy him a new fridge magnet. The last one said, "If a man speaks and there is no woman around to hear, is he still wrong?"
This is just gorgeous, Peggy! Brilliant, I agree with our Sistah Lovely Linda!
Fabulous work, gf, just fabulous! TFS!

Peggy, you did such a fine job on this card. I would love to be able to put pattern paper together like that. Men don't know anything about our beautiful cards.
