I have already CASEd Kelly twice before, but I was delighted to be asked to join in and CASE her again!
For her CG series, Kelly always picks three cards of her CASEees and then makes her own CASE from the three, so we are each doing the same for our hop today.

I chose these three cards of Kelly's:
1. Elephant/giraffe and balloon here.
2. Bunny/bear and hot-air balloon here.
3. Raccoon and hot-air balloon here.
I love Kelly's critter cards that just explode with happiness!

Here is my CASE:
In a style ala Kelly, I've made a card that has critters, hills and sky, vibrant watercoloring, and lots of happiness! I used my NBUS effelump stamps and dies from Wplus9, a curved die from Lawn Fawn, a sediment stamp from Penny Black, and a kite from SU, watercolored with my Ziggies.
Happiness is spending time with friends and CASEing friends!

Here is the order of today's hop honoring Kelly. You should have arrived here from the talented Cindy Chiu's blog. Or you can start at the beginning at a2z Scrapbooking. It's a long hop, but I guarantee it will be worth your time in inspiration value as you visit each of these uber-talented card artists!

Watz It Mean?
By the way, if you are new to our little corner of Blogland, CASE stands for "copy and share everything." Also, you may be wondering what the difference is between a Hop and a Challenge.
To me, a Hop is like this post where you see a list of specific card artists and the objective is for you to literally "hop" down the list from artist to artist, commenting as you go. Often prizes are offered. Hops can be just for fun or they can be for causes or to promote product.
A Challenge is a post with an InLinkz button where you, as the reader, can link your own personal creation to the challenge gallery, following challenge guidelines.
To me, it's that simple even though sometimes you will see blogs with an InLinkz button that calls the event a hop. There's nothing wrong with that, but it does get confusing. There is no hard and fast rule, but I think generally that is the difference between the two. Again, this is just my observation, not a law or anything.
If I was going to make a law, it would be about something way more important, like chocolate no longer being allowed to have calories.
