All we ask is that you do a little globetrotting and stamp our passports (leave us a comment) and you could WIN A FREE  FLOURISHES STAMP SET!!! The catch is, you don't know which country is going to be this month's Vacation Spot (chosen blog), so leave a comment on each one by October 31st for your chance to win!!!

This month our hostess is the lovely Dina and our challenge is to CASE each other!!! We've all been inspired by other talented  paper crafters at various times and a CASE challenge (Copy And Share Everything) is one of the best ways to get those creative juices flowing! Come travel with us and see which team member has inspired us to get crafty!

If you've jetted in from Iwona’s blog, then you have arrived at the right destination! If you haven't, perhaps you'd like to start your journey back in Florida at the Flourishes Blog so you don't miss all the beautiful inspiration along  the way!

My card is a case of the lovely Anne-Elise’s work. She has created a card which I used for my inspiration on August 12.
My card uses the following sets you can find at Flourishes
Flower Set: Summer Blooms
Sentiment: Botanical Bookplate Vol 2
as well as a variety of Stampin up ribbons and cardstock. Crochet lace and button is from stash.
Dies and 6x6 Design papers are by Spellbinder and Magnolia and can be found at Sir Stampalot.

Thanks for taking time to visit me, it's time to grab your passports and board Flourishes Flight BWT, your next destination is:

Breast Cancer Awareness

Hi, have you had a chance to check Just Magnolia Challenge today?
The team has made some samples for this weeks challenge to use “Dies/Die cuts and pearls”
I took a break from Just Magnolia after my trip to Germany to be able to just focus on the DT cards I had to make for the shops I design for, I am super excited to be able to join the girls again. I want to use the challenges to get some gifts done for Christmas. Well… obviously this is not a Christmas gift but since October is just around the corner and it is breast cancer awareness… I thought it would be a good reason to find some of my older stamps and use them.

This Tilda was released in 2008 along with a few really nice sentiments in a Collection just dedicated for Breast Cancer – a portion of a purchase made from those stamps is being donated to Breast Cancer Awareness. I could not believe it when I saw on my box (I labeled back than everything) that it was 2008 it seamed like yesterday and boy.. look at Tilda’s face.. she sure has changed a lot in the last years. I remember back than this Tilda was the first one that came out with super curly hair that would work very nicely for short curly black hair coloring.

As for my supplies I used:
The pink glitter door hanger I found around Valentines day for 1.99 at Michaels it came with the tiny pink ribbon bow and the brown scroll letter “N” on it. Since I placed Tilda between the lines, it almost looks like she is sitting between 2 pillars. I removed the panel and the ribbon bow with my exacto knife, sponged, distressed and layered the scroll paper. The hinge came also from Michaels and it was shiny gold, I colored that with 2 very dark Copic Sketch markers to match my vintage key, which I have found in the $1 bin at Michaels. The felt bird is a die cut also picked up at the $1 bin around Spring time.
Other Supplies: Stampin up wide pink ribbon, assorted pearl stickers, Stickles, pink button, brown bakers twine, Copic Sketch, Prisma color pencils, Kraft cardstock, Copic Express Cardstock, gauze, Super Tacky Glue,
Stamps: cross-legged Tilda ,
Sentiment: Cure, Strength & Hope
