Welcome to a blog hop (with prizes!) honoring the immensely talented and sweet Kelly Latevola, who blogs at You and Your Big Dreams. Kelly has a column on her blog, which she calls CASEing Genius and today is the first anniversary of that column. Kelly selects 3 cards made by a fellow stamper and makes one card inspired by those cards. Each of the stampers selected by Kelly has agreed to participate in this hop, the purpose of which is to thank and honor Kelly.
I selected the following 3 cards, which showcase Kelly's awesome use of bold bright colors and impeccable design.
Doesn't she rock??
And here is my card, which is an obvious CASE of her first card.
Yes, I flipped Merry and Bright, just because!
