Case an OCC Girl!

Hello everyone and welcome to Saturday and another challenge from 'Our Creative Corner'. This week our hostess Linda Coughlin is challenging us to 'CASE' another OCC girl. We've got some very talented ladies on our design team and I found it hard to choose just one of these gals to 'case'!



I decided to head on over to fellow newcomber Sarah Gough's blog ~'Thinking Stamps' and find a card to case, I wanted to find something pre-OCC. Sarah and I have very simular styles, I think that is one of the reasons I was drawn to case one of her cards. Let me tell you I had a VERY hard time choosing which one to case, but finally decided on this card.


We were suppose to change at least two things from the original, so I changed the colors, I decided not to add any ribbon and I used a 'thank you' greeting instead of a 'birthday' greeting. Here is my re-creation of Sarah's card.

Head on over to Sarah's blog and all the rest of the 'OCC' design teams blogs and 'CASE' something for yourself. I can't wait to see all the great re-creations!
