A {Stop and smell the flowers} Card...

Okay, so this morning has been so frustrating.  Let me tell you about it.  I recently joined my brother's Fantasy Football League, so I owe him $10.  I thought it would be fun to make him a football themed card and send him the money in it. I get down to business designing a quick but impressive football card using Silhouette Studio.  All I need to do is cut it.  I turn on my Silhouette and it's acting up--again!  I try a few different things and end up calling Silhouette customer service.  They were helpful but their solution didn't work so now I need to send in my Silhouette to have it repaired.  Luckily it's still under warranty but I'm still bummed I won't get to send my brother his card since the money is due soon.  Bummer.

So, what's a girl to do?  I turn to Pinterest and check out some cards that I have pinned on my "Cards to CASE" board.  I decided to CASE the layout of this card by Jen del Muro.

I think this may be the first time I've used the Forest Friends set since I received it in my goodie bag at PTI's Stamp-A-Faire.  I like how the overall card is CAS but the squares each contain a scene that's not CAS.

My day has gotten a little better since making this cute and cheery card.  Hope your day is great!
