One of my customers recently indicated by playing along with my New Catalog Scavenger Hunt that Summer Splash was her favorite new In Color and that she liked the monochromatic card on page 133 best.  So, I CASE'd the card using the Happy Little Things Set and some new accessories.  I'll be sending it to her along with the $3 coupon she earned from me just for participating.  If you don't know, CASE stands for (Copy And Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit or Enhance).  The catalog is great for inspiration, just pick a project you like because of the layout, colors, technique, etc. and CASE it!
