This week's Featured Stamper is Cheryl aka Crafty Auntie. Cheryl makes fabulous cards and you are sure to find some great inspiration in her gallery. So grab your favorite drink and a snack and start your gallery gazing HERE.

This is my card inspired by Cheryl's cardhere.

FS1009 Gallery

Did you know, we have a Featured Stamper Pinterest Board?(Be sure to check it out!)

HOW DO I PLAY?:

Go to the Featured Stamper's gallery and CASE a card, following these simple CASEing Guidelines:
1. Change 2 or more things on the Featured Stamper's project. It could be a color combo, embellishments, backgrounds, or even the main image could be different -- but similar because you don't own the exact image. Please list the changes you made in your description.
2. Give credit to the original stamper and put a link to the original card in your description.
3. Fan Club members may upload today (Sunday). Non-Fan Club members are encouraged to play, but please wait until Monday to upload your creations to give our volunteer moderators a day off. This is so much appreciated.
4. Please note the following regarding Sketch Challenge cards: If you are keeping the same layout but changing most everything else on the featured stamper's card, make sure it isn't a sketch challenge card (SC###). The reason is because it is essentially a CASE of the sketch since it isn't the Featured Stamper's original idea. Please be sure to check the keywords!

If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping! But please remember...NEW uploads only!

UPLOADING DIRECTIONS:
1. Keyword FS1009.
2. In the Details Section of your card, please describe the changes you have made, give credit to the Featured Stamper, and link her card. Fill in the products that you used in the blanks provided so that others can CASE your card too! Please do not link back to your personal blog.

If you are new to challenges, please feel free to this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get you stamping!

I’ll be covering for Julie this week while she’s been under the weather and focuses on getting better. I know we’re all sending her our warmest get‑well wishes.

This week we’re exploring Painted Paper, known for their distinctive, high‑quality wallpapers and tapestries. Their Pinterest board is brimming with ideas to jumpstart your creativity. I can’t wait to see what you create.

Please note: This challenge is meant solely for creativity and inspiration.

How to Play: Choose an image from the Inspiration website and let it spark your creativity. Draw inspiration from its colors, layout, style, or theme, and enjoy the artistic journey wherever it leads you. If another artist's creation influences your work, be sure to make it uniquely yours, avoid using printouts or directly replicating their design. Embrace the process, make it your own, and most importantly, have fun!
