(CAS)E This Sketch! times two

I really love this sketch by Lisa - I ended up making 2 cards inspired by it, and I can see myself making even more. Next I want to play with snowflakes like she did :) The (CAS)E This Sketch #4 linky will be open until Tuesday if you want to play along too. Here's the sketch:

My first card is extremely close to the sketch:

Supplies: monstah from Paper Smooches- coloured by Barbles;
rub-on from EAD Designs;
scrap cardstock; 3 polka-dot Cuttlebug embossing folders;
circle punches

Mr. Monstah is popped up on foam pads, and of course he needed googly eyes!

My second card is definitely inspired by the sketch, but I changed the sentiment around & added some more bits & bobs, so I'm not sure if it still counts as CAS....but I totally heart it & the sketch made it happen. 

Supplies: papers unknown;
chipboard from Fancy Pants & sentiment from PTI - from Barbles :)
Fired Brick distress ink;
yellow washi from We R Memory Keepers;
square punch for notched ends

We had a great anniversary, a lovely supper at the Saltscapes restaurant in Truro, and an early night. We're getting pretty old...and dinner out last night at a friend's taught me exactly how much wine is too much. It's a good thing to know, but having Connor watching Jumanji with its infernal DRUMS is killing me today ;)
