SISC80 ~ The Case of the CASE’ing Crafter… And a Big Announcement.

Beth — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 13:00:00 +0000

Happy Thursday! Wow – 80 challenges. That’s a milestone! I’m so proud of all the beautiful Groovy Gurlz and the beyond-words incredible work they’ve produced for your inspiration over the last two years. There are just no words. That makes the Big Announcement that much bigger – and more heartbreaking. This will mark the final StampInsanity Stamps Challenge. After a long, looong, decision process, I’ve decided this is what is best – there is not enough time in a day, and I’m sure you can all relate on some level! I just cannot thank you enough for your support, the awesome submissions that you’ve shared with us and the lovely comments and compliments you’ve sprinkled over us. I think I speak for the Gurlz when I say your kind words mean everything! So form all of us, a big groovy Thank You. Surely you’ll see each of us around the blogosphere individually, and we can’t wait!

Phew… all that aside, we have a challenge for you this week! I LOVE this challenge – do you know what a CASE is? There are variations, but the one I like is Copy And Steal EVERYthing! of course, that’s a misnomer, because one should ALWAYS give credit to the inspiring artist! Some say Copy & SHARE Everything. Pick your poison. Be sure to visit the Gurlz’ blogs for details on their inspiration ~ remember, each project was inspired by some other genius!

One last time, here are the incredible, amazing and utterly GROOVY GroovyGurlz:

Happy Thursday! Here we are, in NOVEMBER! Boggles the mind, yeah? So we’ve survived the Halloween festivities, and before the great holiday season rush… let’s just Chill Out for a moment. Ahhhh. Feels good! Let’s play on that feeling and create a project of your choosing using cool as ice blues. Funny how a color and tone can set a mood!

How about some cool inspiration from the Groovies to get you started…
