A New Year, A New Look

 Hello Crafters! 

In one hour it's going to be 2016. 
What? 
Where in the hell did this year go?! 

I decided a while ago I wanted a new look for the new year. It had been a minute since I updated my blog and I wanted something that felt a bit more like me. Back in October a whole lot of my fantastic friends did a blog hop for me. They had a blog graphic and everything.

I fell in love with that graphic. Hard. Like Taylor Swift love song type love. After asking around I discovered my friend Nina-Marie Trapani had designed it. I immediately hit her up to create my new blog look. She did such an amazing job. No big shock. Everything she designs is incredible.

So, what has changed?


  • If you look in the top right hand corner my blog is now searchable. Yay, for things being easy to find. 
  • All of my social media sites are now hooked up to those nifty little icons below the search box.
  • We now have whole pages dedicated to things. the first tab will bring you back to the home page. The second will give you two options. What is CASEing Genius and everyone who has been featured. So much amazing talent in that one little link. The third will take you directly to my Youtube videos. The fourth is current design teams I'm blessed to work and the fifth is anyone I've been lucky enough to work with in the past. If you click on them it will bring up the posts I've done for them. Last but not least is a little blurb about me if you're interested. 
  • Last but not least I finally committed to a Facebook page for my blog. If you click on the Facebook icon it will take you to it or just click here. I'll post my most recent stuff there too. 
Alright I can't ring in the New Year without sharing something crafty . . .


I colored these little cuties up the other night on Periscope. Aren't they adorable? Guess what? This stamp set was designed by Miss Nina-Marie too. It's called Simon and Dexter and it's basically the cutest thing. ever. 

Have a close up. 


A huge thank you to Nina-marie for making my blog reflect my style perfectly. My girl, you get me. I love you. 

I'll be back to my regularly scheduled posts for CASEing Genius this coming Monday. Thank you so much for visiting and I wish you the happiest of New Years!!
