Welcome to Week 72 of CASology! Here's the cue word for this week:
'Tis the season to go shopping! All the Bermudians are making their annual pilgrimages to New York, New Jersey, Boston and Atlanta to do their Christmas shopping. It always amazes me that the planes can get off the ground at this time of year - Bermudians know how to shop! LOL!
My initial thoughts for this challenge went along the same line as Ardyth but once I saw her clever card I decided to try a different idea. These days pretty much all shopping involves a bar code and Mama Elephant has a super cute one in their Smitten set. I decided I wanted to go with a really bold background colour and let the black sentiment really pop off of it. It took a lot of fiddling before I finally decided on sentiment and gem placement but I'm pretty happy with the final result! And now I want to see the results of your creative wheels turning! Check out the gorgeous designs from the rest of the DT and then get crackin'!
And this week's guest designer:

Goodness Jen, what a fun card! I so love it! Oh may I add the washi holder is superb :)
What a brilliant way to interpret the cue card Jen! I would never even think of a bar code! Love how you've used that beautiful rose red as your base
I am so coming to play in your Craft Cave. And never coming home! lol
Love your take on this cue - the bold background totally makes it!
Jen, this is BRILLIANT! The black sentiment and barcode really pop against that rich card base. Perfection! Love your washi tape holder, too...way to go, Luis!
I just LOVE your take on the cue word Jen. And have created mine inspired by yours. :) And by the way, I like your blog title..:)
Have you taken off with the rest of the Bermudians?? Haven't seen you in awhile! I love how you were inspired by shopping. It's sweet!
This card is bold and clever. I love your idea. And, what an amazing Washi tape holder. It looks so pretty with all those rolls of tape. And, he even left a little room for some more shopping.
