Ode to Pinterest

If you've watched the national news, you've seen that South Carolina is getting pounded with rain from Hurricane  Joaquin. Between all the water and a nasty cold, I'm socked in the house. I've decided that keeping quietly busy takes my mind off all the head aches, sniffles and sneezes.

I love Pinterest and usually get great inspiration from others' stamping. Today I am focusing on designs I've found there, as copying is not as taxing on my cold muddled brain. These designs are from fellow Stampin' Up! Demos. I've made a few changes but generally they are case cards. CASE stands for copy and share everything. I am currently fixated on the stamp set Lighthearted Leaves, so all of these cards use it.
