I don't know what happened to our challenge today or if Cindy's having problems, so I'm just doing this on the fly. I hope everything's ok w/ Cindy! And I hope I'm not stepping on any toes, so here goes:

Today's Featured Stamper is Kecia Waters aka LittleSeaOtter!
Check out Kecia's amazing Gallery

Congratulations Kecia and enjoy your day and special week as our Featured Stamper!

Here's my sample:
Be sure to check out all of the fun at the FS265 Gallery

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!

UPLOADING DIRECTIONS:

1. Keyword FS265.

2. In the Details Section of your card, please describe the changes you have made, give credit to the Featured Stamper, and link her card. Fill in the products that you used in the blanks provided so that others can CASE your card too! Please do not link back to your personal blog.

If you are new to challenges, please feel free to this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get you stamping!

NEED HELP LINKING A CARD? FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Open 2 windows. One for your card, one for the this thread.
2. In this thread, click on reply and type what you want to show before the link.
3. Go to your card window, highlight the address for your card. (The address bar will say www.splitcoaststampers.....).
4. Click edit. Click Copy.

I also was inspired by Daisies and created Pleasant Words as I love flower cards, too!

Thank you Julie. I'm at my dad's house in Chico as my mom's Celebration of Life service was yesterday and my sub accidentally forgot! It's just one of those things, but I'm glad there's a FS and I'll see you back next week. I hope all of you have a very blessed day.

Julie, Thanks for stepping in, I was about to go and just find a fun gallery to CASE from. If I have time, I might still do that. Here's my tribute to Kecia:

http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...4281?nocache=1

I am sooooooo sorry, everyone. I had the post all ready to go weeks ago and then totally forgot to move it over last night. Then I went to church this morning and only remembered when Cindy called to tell me it wasn't up. I feel terrible. Thank you, Julie, for jumping in and I am sooooo very sorry, Cindy, for dropping the ball when you asked me to fill in for you.

I'm just glad y'all are ok, Cindy & Korin! All's well that end's well! No problem, I enjoyed doing it!

Thanks so much, Julie! Kecia's gallery is fabulous! Here's mine.

I hope those playing along today will find some inspiration in my gallery.

Thanks so much, Julie, for this amazing honor!

FS265 Ferns for Kecia by JBgreendawn - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Thanks for the inspiration!

What a lovely gallery! Here is my C is for Cat card.

Here is Kecia's great birthday card:
Birthday Bash by LittleSeaOtter - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers and here is the card I made:
Packed for a Birthday by scrapgranny - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Kecia's card reminded me of Stampin Up's Packed Birthday image....I changed the image, colors and added other accessories.

Kecia's Gallery is great! Here is the card I chose to case, Picket Fence, isn't it cute! When I saw her card, it reminded me that I have been wanting to try to stamp this stamp from And Everything Nice without the little girl and the cat. This was just the inspiration I needed to give it a try! Here is my card, My Secret Gate. My changes:

Stamp Set
Added Sentiment
Card Orientation

Great choice of gallery. Kecia has wonderful cards. Here's mine.

What's that saying? ....a day late and a dollar short? ....oh well, I'm always a dollar short! *giggle*

I'm glad I got a chance to drool in Kecia's gallery! Congratulations Sweetie!

Here's my card:

Easter Egg Caterpillar by mepylant - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Here is my favourite of the FIVE I made. I feel like someone who overeats at a party - I can never resist doing so many cards when there's just so much to be inspired by! Thanks for this challenge, and thanks to LittleSeaOtter for sharing your creativity!

FS265 Orchard Apples

Kecia, such a wonderful gallery! I came back to get inspired- and this time, it was your Apple Basket that led me to make my layered ATC- Orchard Apples, using SU's Farm Fresh and Mini Medleys. I cut out the apple branch so as to give it a different look, and added 2 brads, and two ribbons. Here's Orchard Apples.
