CASE Study...Thanks So Much

It's the first CASE Study challenge for October and you know what that means...a new Muse! This month we're celebrating and CASEing the wonderfully talented Barbara Anders. I took a gander over at Barbara's blog and I was amazed with all of her design team experience. Honestly, she's on like 6 or 7 design teams! How awesome is that! Here is the card that OUR design team is CASEing of HERS this week:

As soon as I saw this card, I knew that I wanted to CASE the fabulous design. In addition, I admired the background dp, the gorgeous ribbon and that fabulous flower. Here's my take on Barbara's creation:

I purchased a card kit by My Mind's Eye and have been enjoying cutting it up for my own maniacal purposes. Well, maybe not maniacal, but for fun! I was trying to find a red flower for my focal piece and just threw this yellow one on for kicks and it worked so it stayed! Love when kicks work out!
Check out how the other CASE Study gals interpreted Barbara's sweet card:

Here are the deets for creating and uploading a  project:

1. Create a paper crafting project (card, layout, off-the-page item), based on provided inspiration (being a featured creation, made by our Muse).
2. Post your creation on your blog or an online gallery (using a code CSC09), and link it to CASE Study Challenge blog with the inlinkz widget. Please provide a direct link to your post, not an entire blog.
3. A new challenge is being posted every Thursday at 12.01 AM EST, and you've got until the end of Tuesday to submit your entry.
4. You may enter as many times as you like, but you're asked to provide a newly designed project.
5. We will choose one winner randomly from the list of players, who will receive the prize provided by the sponsor. In addition, the authors of the four most impressive creations will be awarded the Winner and Top 3 awards. We will announce the winners on Wednesday.
6. Above all, have fun - and be inspired!
