This week our challenge is brought to us by Jessie! She is asking you to CASE your favorite card by a Trendsetter!!  If you aren’t familiar with CASEing, just pick a favorite card by a Trendsetter, and use it to create a card of your own inspired by theirs, but different in some way!

Make sure you stop by the TSG Blog for all of the details and to find out how you can win a TSG gift certificate just by playing along!

The inspiration for my card is this adorable card made by Trendsetter Kim OConnell-

I am SO excited about the stamp set that we are sharing today!!! I think that this just may be one of my favorite stamp sets from Torico EVER!  For my card I used my favorite stamps from this set- the cowboy, cactus and of course this great sentiment lol! The cowboy is illustrated without a mustache but I just HAD to include a mustache stamp in the set just in case you wanted to fancy him up ;)  Seriously, how cute is this?!
