ABC Christmas Challenge - C is for CASE one of the DT cards from last year

This week at  ABC Christmas Challenge  our letter is C.

We would like you to peruse challenges from 2012 and find one of the DT cards that you like and CASE IT!!! That means, copy it, with your own interpretation of course, but make it similar - similar style, layout, images, colour......and be sure to link your CASEd card in your blog post so we can see!!!!   HERE is a forum thread about it.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Saturated Canary!!! YAHOOO!!!! Gosh I love Krista's images!!! I have used Tammy Pie and took some creative licensing with this image!  I'm not sure what I was thinking when I ordered her for a CHRISTMAS challenge......duhhh!!! SO, I coloured & cut out a prezzie, popped it on top of the pile of books and paper pieced a "Christmas" balloon!!!  I added some crystal lacquer to the balloon too, for texture!  I HOPE you like what I did with her! 

I have CASE'd Dorte's card  - M for Monochromatic challenge.

Thanks so much for popping by!!! Remember with this challenge, you have TWO WEEKS to enter! So why not get a head start on your Christmas cards for next year???  I'm excited to have a good stash of them done for next year.....less stress!!!! Wheeeeeeeeee!!!!
Have a great day!
Hugs,
Chris

This post is in honour of a very talented lady....

Sadly, the crafting world has said goodbye to a very sweet, very gracious and very talented lady!  Jacqui, the owner and illustrator from Digi Garden passed away last week, and it was a shock to me and the rest of the DT.  We all knew from her posts that she was ill, but never did we think it would end up this way. It was a very sad day for everyone, and I wanted to pay tribute to such a talented lady who will be missed greatly.
 
God has taken another angel for himself. 
Rest in Peace, my friend!
Hugs,
Chris
